A little hidden gem on the edge of the Gothic quarter.We where greeted by the owner who was extremely helpful .We where shown to our room with a small balcony that over looked the city walls.The room was very clean with a comfortable bed and our own bathroom.Some of the rooms do not have there own bathroom.Sheets where changed once in our four night stay and towels every day.I would definitely recommend Casa Blanca for the cost,location and it’s cleanliness.

A hidden gem

Pension Casa Blanca is a real gem. It is in an ideal location, situated between the Gothic Quarter and El Born and only a 10 minute walk from the Placa de Catalunya. Barceloneta Beach is only a 20 minute walk away and the nearest Metro is just around the corner.
The accommodation was cleaned to the highest standard and we were given fresh towels every day. The owners were very welcoming and helpful.

Great location, spotless accommodation. 

Stayed at this place for 4 nights for what we payed I was more than pleased.
Very central for all the attractions,spotlessly clean and very compact.
Cleaner came in every day and changed towels and emptied bins etc.
Room was small but well set out to use all available space.
Nice small private bathroom with a decent shower.
Would not hesitate to stay here again.

Great Value for money.

Pros: 

- location, location, location

- reasonably priced & I do think it provides value for money 

- Reception helped with anything I asked: different type of pillow, kettle (which is not provided with the room) 

Cons:

-  You can actually hear the nearby Metro and the walls are quite thin and you can hear the people in the room next to you. There is also construction going on there during the day. However, I have to say none of the noises disturbed me really, because they were there but not that loud. But if you are sensetive to noises don't go for this hostel.

- The booking site showed a really high rating of this location for solo travellers. NOT sure why! There is no common area at all. It is like one big house, where every guest gets a room. There is no option really to meet anyone else staying there. 

- I found the pillow hard and the towels, although new, from a hard type of textile. 

Wven though everything written in the cons, I  give this hostel a high rating, because I do think it provides good value for money due to it's location, and none of the cons bothered me that much. 

Note: The hostel is on the 3rd floor of the building. If it was written somewhere in the entrance I missed it.



Good location, some pros & cons 

The Pension Casa Blanca is right in the heart of the city. A few minutes walk from Las Ramblas and approximately 20 -25 minutes walk (depending how you walk!) from the Placa de Catalunya where the Airport Aerobus (Barcelona airport express bus) dropped us.
The Picasso museum/Barcelona cathedral are all very close by. The metro station Jaume is right near the hotel.
The Pension Casa Blanca is accessible from the road via a big iron gate and then into a vestibule where there is a lift to the 3rd floor. Our room was simple but spotlessly clean with fresh towels every day. The en-suite bathroom was small but everything we needed. We had a lovely balcony window which brought in a pleasant breeze but the air conditioning was very good and kept the room cool. I found the owner extremely helpful. I had emailed several times with requests as I was traveling with my son and each time he answered me promptly and efficiently. It is an ideal base for a city break/ sightseeing trip. A couple of times we returned to our room just to freshen up or drop off shopping so the location was ideal for us. The only down side was, because it is in the heart of the city, it's a bit noisy but that is to be expected in a bustling place like Barcelona. We really enjoyed staying here and would definitely come again.There is a coffee shop below the hotel where you can have breakfast or walk over to the Mercat de Santa Caterina (just a few minutes away) where you can get an excellent cup of coffee and and croissant at a very reasonable price!

Perfect location for sightseeing

We stayed for 4 nights! It was 3 of us in all. Rooms are small, but that is very common for the most part. Room was clean and the ac worked really well. We had a small balcony that provided a nice view! Elmer was super helpful and always made sure we had what we needed. It did get a bit noisy but it is located on a very busy street. Great spots nearby at walking distances. It was about a 15 minute walk to Barceloneta Beach as well. Great little coffee shop right next door which made for a great spot to have our coffee. 

Great area! 

We booked this pension in Barcelona based on reviews on booking.com that showed a lot of 10’s. It was very misleading , the only high rating this pension should get is for location. It facilitates rate a 5 or 6 and the rooms are small. It’s best for backpackers or young people on a budget but is priced to high for them. For 3 nights for 3 people it was 400 euros. Very good location( noisy at night) but  not worth the money, will stay somewhere else next trip. Barcelona was great will be back.
