About
Hostal La Palmera
Hostal La Palmera sits on Carrer de Jerusalem, in the middle of Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella. It’s a minute’s walk to La Rambla and the Liceu metro station, with La Boqueria market just around the corner. Despite the central bustle, several guests describe the street as peaceful and quiet.
Rooms are simple and clean, with air conditioning, heating, and balconies in most categories. The guest house has a lift, luggage storage, and 24-hour reception and security. Guests consistently single out the staff for being welcoming and genuinely helpful.
A buffet breakfast is available from 8:30, and the front desk can help with tours and tickets. Wi-Fi is free across the property. Parking and an electric vehicle charging station are available, though spaces may be limited given the central location.

In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Exceptional location in Ciutat Vella — Guests are unanimous: it’s a short walk to La Rambla, La Boqueria, and the Liceu metro, yet the street itself stays quiet.
- Staff consistently praised — From helping with arrangements to simply being warm and welcoming, the team gets strong marks across the board.
- Clean, comfortable rooms — Rooms are described as basic but spotless, with air conditioning, heating, and balconies in most categories.
- Good value for the centre — For a two-star guest house in one of Barcelona’s most touristed areas, guests feel the price matches what’s on offer.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast starts at 8:30 — If you’re catching an early train or want to make the most of the morning, the buffet won’t be ready before then.
- Basic rooms — This is a hostel-grade guest house, not a boutique hotel. Rooms are functional, with no minibar or fancy extras — though they’re kept clean.
- Pet policy — No pets are allowed on the property, so if you’re travelling with an animal, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
- Central street noise possible — While many guests note the street is quiet, the area is busy with markets and metro traffic, so some rooms may pick up noise.

8.6Verified guest“The location is fantastic — barely a minute from La Rambla and Liceu station, and right next to La Boqueria for great food and drinks. The room was pleasant, and breakfast was very good even if it only starts at 8:30. The staff were accommodating, Wi-Fi was free, and the reception is open all day. I’d recommend it to anyone.”
