Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hostal Fernando enjoys a superb location next to La Rambla, close to a metro station and within walking distance of many tours and the Gothic area, making it great for exploring. The hotel also features a handy little 'kitchen' area on the third floor with kettles and a microwave. Guests appreciate the free lockers for luggage storage after check-out, and some find the single rooms very small and lacking light. A continental breakfast is available, complete with good coffee, fresh fruit, and juices.

a decent stay overall

central location daily room cleaning small room disruptive noise

the hostel location was really central. i appreciate it the short walk to major attractions. the included breakfast was a plus, with various options available each morning. i really liked the cleanliness of the room and the daily service provided.

The room size was smaller than expected. it felt a little cramped. the noise levels at night were sometimes disruptive, particularly from street traffic.

small room mildew smell

the location was acceptable given its proximity to various attractions.

the room proved smaller than expected so movement was restricted. the air conditioning unit was noisy and did not maintain a consistent temperature. the bathroom had a persistent mildew smell making it unpleasant.
