Ho trovato molta cortesia da parte dei gestori. La stanza col bagno in camera era pulita e funzionale. La location vicino alla fermata metro L3 Pueblo Sec, ne fa una soluzione con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo.

Cool & comfortable reprieve in Spain

We really enjoyed our short stay at Hostal Elkano even though we had to work at communication with our limited Spanish and their limited English. One of the most impressive and welcomed aspect was the ductless air conditioning unit because the weather was very hot during our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Totally fine budget place

This is not a fancy hotel, but it is totally fine to stay there. The bathroom is clean, the internet works well and location is ok. It is a good place to stay with low budget.

This property was basic, it's no fancy hotel but I would rather spend my money on food, drinks and things to do than accommodation. We booked a room with private bathroom for 2, the room actually slept 3. The bathroom was tiny but clean, the shower was very good

Un lugar muy céntrico para quedarte en Barcelona, cerca quedan demasiados transportes públicos que te conectan con toda la ciudad. Las habitaciones resultan muy acogedoras, limpias y adaptables para un viaje, cuentan con aire acondicionado y agua que son grandes puntos a favor. La limpieza de las áreas en común es muy buena. Recomendable la estadía en Elkano. El personal siempre atento, y amable. En especial una chica que te hace sentir en casa. Muchas gracias por hacer mi estancia tan agradable, especial y única.
