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.
