Hostal Balkonis

The wifi was fast and no account required, great. Our room was small and a view of inside of the building, it was ok. You can hear everything but it was alright, we had a nice stay! Terrace access is only until 5pm, I can understand why but it's not very useful.

The place is clean. 7 rooms on one floor. Basically just a place sleep. Area is okay, can get a bit weird around depending on which direction you head.

We got bedbugs on this Hostal! The staff was really unhelpful and didn’t seem to care at all. We had to sleep one more night in the room before checking out the next day because we couldn’t reach anyone working even though we messaged and called them several times (reception close at 5). Beside that, room number 2 was nothing like the pictures, no daylight, the bed was horrible to sleep in and the walls are paper thin so you can hear everything and everyone all the time. Would not recommend this accommodation to anyone!!

Great value for the cost. Modest, clean accommodations for travelers like me that just need a good bed to rest and a decent bathroom. Very well located just 2/3 blocks off the Aerobús stop and closer to the metro station. We saw public busses also pass by frequently but didn’t use them. Toward the south of the hotel is an immigrant area of town, very culturally diverse. Towards the north (Gran Via) more traditional Spanish vibes. We noticed a lot of young college aged people around. I think there is a University nearby. It is not perfect. Bathroom shower door had a strange design that allow for water to easily splash of bathroom floor and A/C as I come to learn is customary here, will keep room fresh but not cold as some of us from US expect. It was not uncomfortable but it was different from expectations. I would recommend it.

Paulina in reception was wonderful and liked the balcony which opened onto the street. Clean, quiet, and safe for a single person.

Don’t forget your key. You will have to walk 30 mins to another hotel

The room was fine, & bathroom good, & balcony excellent. There was not adequate heat in cold night; could have used a glass and a non-bathroom trash can. Staff was very pleasant. San Antoni neighborhood is very good.

The staff were lovely and the room was clean, however there was no bin or AC in the room. The door did not have a lock inside and the door to the hostel floor was broken and could not shut. Hostel was in a convenient location, near metro's and the port, but the other guests were particularly loud. Very expensive for what they are offering
