About

Hostal Poblenou

Hostal Poblenou is a four-star hostal in Barcelona’s Sant Marti district, on Carrer De Taulat. It’s a 3.1 km walk from Casa Batllo, but the real draw is the Poblenou neighbourhood: the beach is a 5-minute walk away, and the area is packed with restaurants and the lively Rambla del Poblenou.

The property is set in a charming historical building, offering a sun terrace, garden furniture, and a mix of rooms from singles to family balconies. Breakfast is a highlight, with guests singling out the caramel pancakes and avocado toast, and the staff consistently earns praise for going out of their way to help.
