Go BCN Hostal Ideal Badal - Hostel

Barcelona is my favorite place to be and I stayed at this hotel back in 2021. All I can say is definitely do not book a room there. It was maybe the worst hotel I have ever visited. The room was not clean. I told them and they sent somebody. When I was back in the evening, it was better, but still not even close to what you expect, especially the bathroom was a mess. The food was mediocre. Not terrible, but also 2 stars out of 5 at best. The staff did not seem reliable either. So yeah, I will certainly go back to Barcelona, but not to Hostal Ideal Badal. Absolutely not recommended. Also, there were some other issues. I booked with them and about a month later, I received an email from them that my VISA was not correct and they had to cancel the booking. What was a straight-up lie. Absolute travesty when you rely on a hotel to fulfill their part of the contract and I feel sorry for all the people who were suddenly without a place to sleep when they decided to go on a holiday to Barcelona. I tried to contact them about this issue, not a chance, so the other reviews is correct that coommunication with this hotel is literally impossible. I simply rebooked eventually and this time it did get through. Probably they cancelled with somebody else then in my favor. I wish I hadn't though.

I arrived to check in and the door was closed no one was there I had to spend my first night in Barcelona looking for other hostels to stay! BAD BAD BAD EXPERIENCE

FATAL. La atención al cliente fatal. Nos intentaron timar diciendo que tienen un "overbooking". Luego nos llamaron por teléfono para gritarnos. Recomiendo que os quedéis lo más lejos posible de ese sitio. SCAM!
