Ballestero Hotel

( 2 stars , Barcelona , Spain )

A modest, well-maintained, 2-stars hostel of 26 rooms located near Meridiana Avenue, on the corner of Fabra i Puig Avenue, close to the commercial centre of Heron City. An area with excellent transport links, such as several bus lines, two metro stations (Fabra i Puig, line 1, and Pl. Virrey Amat, line 5) and suburban trains (Sant Andreu Arenal station), connecting you fast and easily to the entire city and the suburbs. This way, you will reach in about 15 minutes the sanctuary of La Sagrada Familia, the affluent shopping area of Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla Catalunya, or Pl. Catalunya, next to La Rambla and the historic city-centre. The hostel is situated in a 5-floor building with lift. It has no charm in particular or any special characteristic, though the place is correct, decent and offers clean, well-maintained rooms. Those rooms may be double or individual, all with a simple private bathroom, TV, AC and heating. Most of them are overlooking the street, but there are also rooms overlooking the courtyard that is not too airy. The decoration is rather austere, without excessive details. A decent, affordable place to rest and relax.
