The house was built in 1930 and has been completely refurbished. We’ve kept all the original elements that give it that special character and style, for example the ceiling’s heights, the coloured mosaic floors, etc… but of course, we given special care to the fact that a good rest is essential. In this sense, the rooms are cosy, the beds comfortable, and we provide eiderdowns in winter months, and fresh cotton sheets for the summer ones. To transmit a feeling of harmony, light colours predominate in all our rooms.
The rooms are equipped with television, air conditioning and heating. For those travelling with their laptops we provide Wi-Fi area, but if you just want to check your e-mail, we have a shared terminal with internet connection... everything with no extra charge.
If the weather is good enough, we do reccommend to enjoy the breakfast in our patio-terrace… Brilliant!
Beyond what we can say about our Bed and Breakfast, you’ll find reviews on our establishment in some of the most prestigious travel guides and specialized magazines, as well as some travel web sites (for example, Tripadvisor).
TRAVELER Condé Nast. Edición special Barcelona (pag. 185):
…Hostal Poble Nou está en un edificio típico muy bien restaurado. Pese a su falta de pretensiones es un establecimiento muy cómodo para conocer una Barcelona al margen de las guías convencionales.
TIME OUT special Barcelona (pag. 67):
… Poblenou is a delightful hostal in an elegant restored building that offers a lot more tan you would expect for the money. The ten rooms are all light and airy, with their own bathrooms and breakfast is served on a sunny terrace. There is wireless internet as well as a shared terminal, and guests can help themselves to tea, coffee and mineral water at no extra cost. The owner, Mercedes, is on hand to provide any help or information you might need during your stay. Situated a few minutes walk from the beach in Poblenou, this hotel is a good way to get an authentic experience of Barcelona away from the tourist hordes”.
MAXI (pag 146), edited in Germany :
… Freunde quartiere ich am liebsten im Hostal Poblenou ein. Es sind zwar einige Meter bis zur Altstadt, dafür ist es schön ruhig. Ein Doppetzimmer kostet etwa 70 euros, das Frühstück ist super, die Einrichtung gemütlich, und von der niedlichen terrasse kann man fast bis aufs Meer schauen.
