About

Hostal Oliva

Hostal Oliva occupies the fourth floor of a historic building on Passeig de Gràcia, one of Barcelona's grandest boulevards. It's a five-minute walk from the Passeig de Gràcia metro and train station, putting you steps from Gaudí's Casa Batlló and La Pedrera, as well as endless shops and restaurants. The hostal keeps things uncomplicated: a lift, a vending machine for snacks and drinks, and housekeeping that keeps rooms spotless.

Guest reviews consistently praise the location, the cleanliness, and the friendly staff. Rooms are described as bright, functional, and some offer city views or balconies. A few are compact—especially the singles—but they come with air conditioning, heating, and free Wi-Fi. This is a no-frills base for travellers who plan to spend most of their time out exploring.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
