Simple place with nice staff. Great location, in the center but in a silent place. Great value for the location as well. For people who just come to sleep to their place.

Weak internet connection. Single room is absolutely small and basic. But still - the price was very small for so central location!

We had read reviews of unhelpful staff etc etc but this was a great spot. Location great for Las Ramblas, reception spoke (enough) English and were helpful, room was awesome (make sure you get an outside facing room. Very clean.

Then location was excellent, at the end of the street and around the corner was La Rambla, the famous street in Barcelona. the proximity to everything was excellent. We could walk or take the hop on hop off bus.

The location and the price.The staff was friendly.

There is no lift and with luggage is a bit hard to climb the stairs.

It is already the second time, that I stayed at Pension Portugal ..... everything is perfect, I mean the value of money,location, facilities and staff! Very close to the Barcelonetta beach and at the same time city center!

Just one thing ... this time we hear our neighbours very good :((( but in fact it depends on the location of your room ...

The location of the pension couldnt be more perfect. In 10-15 min walk, you'r at the beach and in 2 min, u're at La Rambla Street. The pension is located in a small alley so it is very quiet. The room was simple but clean. The air condition, which is a must in Barcelona in July, worked perfectly. The staff are ok, not rude and not too welcoming.There is a PC and printer u can use.Other necessities are also available upon request. In conclusion, it is a great value/money hotel. We loved our stay there.

The elevator is not yet installed so you have to use the stairs to get to the hotel which is situated on the 2nd floor. This is not very practicle if you have heavy luggage.

Friendly staff, we could drop off our luggage hours before the actual check-in time. Quite cozy and private room with balcony, albeit small.

It's located at 3rd floor, no elevator, older people might have some difficulties climbing the stairs. Walls are quite thin, you can hear people snore in the next room.

Excellent location right in the Barri Gotic and about 20 seconds walk down the street to La Ramblas, at the bottom right next to the Port Vell. Great starting spot for any destination in the city. Pay for room on departure which could be convenient for some.

Beds are unconfortable, the pillows are very thin and you wake up with a sore neck so a couple of days in this apartment is long enough. They change the towels and make up your room daily however the bed sheets do not get changed at all. No water or tea/coffee facilities.

We stayed twice in a room with private bathroom and will be coming back for sure. The hotel is extremely nice: the design is simple, but very nice, in white and blue tones, the bed was extremely comfortable, rooms had a small balcony, the bathroom was clean and neat, the reception was friendly and helpful. It is 2 min walk from Las Ramblas and Columbus. All in all, you get much more than you are paying for. 10 out of 10.

Good location and friendly staff.

Lobby was on the third floor so it was hard to carry up the suitcases, however a lift is currently been installed and should be operating soon.

This is extremely good hostel for few nights! Low price, perfect location (near Barcelonetta, (beach just 10 - 15 minutes walking) near Gothic district and La Rambla), my room was nice and tidy, very comfortable, at the nights it was absolutely silence, staff was very nice and friendly, so it's just perfect place to stay!

none, everything was OK!

Great location, satisfactory facilities compared with its price, quiet at night, friendly staff.

The heater will make noise, so I have to turn it off when sleeping.

The location ist sawesome: near the beach and also the subway station.

Room is really narrow, if my friend and I were fatter, we couldn't make ourselves squeeze in the so-called "double bed". Bathroom is also shared.

Excellent location, service of the room good, clean, ok for one or two nights stay, not luxury

Description of room not accurate, supposed to have balcony, came to be window into whole looking into other room.... Honestly you can do better for a price of 60euro a night

small but good looking room and tidy. good enough for a one-night stay.

the smell of cigarette in the room, the welcoming of the staff a bit cold (there just for business rather than to welcome you), a bit hard to find the place as the name of the hotel was written in small lettering on a white background and placed in a corner next to the door (would have been better if the background was more colorful to contrast with the surrounding, or if the name was bigger).

Excellent location close to the Gothic quarter. Good staff willing to assist. Secure and safe.

Very small facility - no lift installed so its a 4 floor walk with bags. Shower was more an oversized bidet. Walls are thin and sound travels easily

Good location.

The walls were wafer thin; not only did I hear my neighbour answer her mobile phone at 7am, but also every word from her interlocutor.

Simple room but clean and with private bathroom. Excellent location, only block and half from La Rambla!

They are in the middle of the construction of the elevator which will benefit future guests but at the time was a bit annoying!

It clean, and in good location

It is not comfortable and you can not sleep because you the walls are not sound proof and you can hear next room when they talk normally. The rooms are very small as well as the toilet.

Nothing

The single room was very cramped. The tiny courtyard was dark and full of scaffolding. It was extremely noisy from the time I arrived in the afternoon until my departure at noon the next day midday. I don't speak Catalan and the staff don't speak anything else so there was no communication. On the whole it was ver dingy and unwelcoming.

The location

The noise at night, the dark sealing in the bathroom, the smell of humidity in the bathroom, the smallest tv I ever seen, no WiFi in the bedroom... and so on... And supposedly, it was a superior room!

Having a balcony

Terrible value for money. Paid €70 for an extremely basic room, with a shower that you had to hold and was not attached to the wall. The staff insisted on keeping your room Key including your safe key making the safe void. The room was extremely basic. The reception very cheap and like a terrible back packers. All in all not a hotel, just a poor quality backpackers with private rooms. Not a happy customer at all.
