Detailed Reviews
Pension Segre is a basic but when you are in one of Europe's most interesting cities you are not here for luxury.
The rooms overlooking the street are basic with small balcony. However we found it impossible to sleep from the noise of locals and tourist revellers which lasts into the early hours. We asked for a quieter room at the back which although airless it allowed for sleep as it was a lot quieter.
Rooms are spotlessly clean as are the shared bathrooms. Front desk staff speak English and are very helpful, they pointed us in the direction of some good value bars and cafes. We really like La Plata a few minutes walk away. It serves the freshest sardines and salads, just two or three selections each day but delicious and reasonably priced. The bar is always packed with locals, which is a good sign. The house wine is excellent and reasonably priced, served from giant barrels above the bar.
Pension Segre is situated in the Gotic district, a 10 minute walk from the Plaza Catalan where the airport buses stop. It's also next to La Ramblas which we felt to be over rated. We prefered the area around the hotel such as Born which has a lot of character and Barceloneta which is close to the beach and has a character all of it's own and a community of families who have lived here for centuries, it was home to the fishing community. The huge buildings with balconies remind you of Havana.
The Segre is very close to the beach which tends to be packed during the summer season. There is a very nice bar on the beach which offers shelter from the searing sun, the salads are delicious and reasonably prices, Sangria and local beers are also served.
Pension Segre does not offer breakfast but there is a coffee machine next to reception. We loved a little cafe -La Merce in Plaza Merce next to the cathedral. We would have breakfast there. they have a special offer of toasted bacon and salad sandwich with cafe con leche for a bargain Euros 3.50. The cakes and sandwiches are delicious at this award winning cafe which is open from 7am each morning.
We were surprised at what a great value destination Barcelona is. When you reads about it you tend to associate it as being as expensive as Rome or Paris, but no, on the contrary. You can find a decent bottle of good wine for just Euros 2 and a good local beer for less than £1.
Locals are friendly and will be happy to chat with you and tell you how they are Catalonians, they are proud of their heritage. It's a great city to walk around, you do not need to take transport. Much of it is pedestrianized. There is a metro just five mins. from the hotel where you can get a connection to the airport, it's faster than the bus and easy to access. Ask at reception for directions. Purchase a transport card which allows you to use bus tram metro and train. Great value and convenient.
The only hazard was the huge amount of middle aged men in ponytails whizzing by on skateboards or those silly scooters. It seems due to the economic crisis an awful lot of middle aged men have a lot of leisure time these days and spend much of that time annoying people as they zoom past on roller skates and skateboards. The authorities need to tackle this problem as these guys are a pest.
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful city, and would highly recommend a visit.

This was a wonderful find location-wise, you cannot find a better hotel for the price in this location! It’s full of character on a side street surrounded by some of the best bars and cafes. The gothic quarter is my favourite part of Barcelona and its not dirty or rough at all but more for the artist/music/hippie types perhaps, with graffiti and fun loving late nighters strolling about. I loved walking all the amazing little streets and having a hotel right in the middle of it.
I found the hotel VERY clean and actually very quiet and although its an older hotel, it has a lot of character with marble floors, giant mirrors but simple comfortable furnishings and old paintings from the 70s on the walls which I liked. A few minutes from Las Ramblas but very quiet area and 2 streets from the harbour too! It was very hot so we had two floor fans that were provided going the whole time. Nice old elevator too but easy access with steps. I never heard any other people in the hotel so it seemed well insulated to me.
Also had the best wifi connection I’ve experienced at a hotel in years, very fast and strong signal in your room which was very handy and not that easy to find in Spain.
We had an ensuite double which was perfect. I also checked out the sharing bathrooms nearby and they were super clean and centrally located in the hallways.
Ten minutes walk from two metro stations so easy to get around town! Hop on bus nearby too.
The only problem is the angry cleaning lady. She was very upset when we arrived 30 minutes before check in time and scolded us loudly in Spanish to go away and come back later. She seemed to be forever mopping the halls and muttering to herself psychotically. At first it was funny, but she was downright scary!! The second morning, she was banging on the door demanding to clean but we were still in bed, as it’s a very late night city, so I told her to come back on Sunday! She was nicer the third day and I was just about to forgive her, as I also saw her working the front desk night shift at 2am –but check out morning, she was a raging maniac again banging on the door several times way before 11am, and we stumbled out of the room with our bags and half dressed just to keep her quiet! Then we heard her cursing probably as we didn’t leave a tip! I’d love to stay there again but she’d have to have retired for me to return to this fabulously located budget hotel. Stay there if you get up early and won’t run into her!! Maybe she owns the place?!
PS. Barcelona seemed very safe with tons of police patrolling on every street but we did see one attempted robbery of a phone so keep your things hidden!

We got a great room with bathroom and a little French balcony. It was very clean and fresh. We were expecting it to be noisy at night because of the location in the city but we were shocked by how little we could hear from the outside. Very freindly staff!! We will definitely go back here next time we visit Barcelona!

Genuinely can't rate this highly enough for low budget accommodation in central Barca, which can be really really overpriced. Exceptionally clean, polite staff (I encountered the hard working cleaning lady and awesome guy behind reception with the white tash), great location. The only thing I could fault was because I had a single room (small but with a balcony) I had to hire a big towel for €2 as it only came with a hand towel, but apart from that everything was great. I had a couple of anxieties regards the security of these places as I normally stay in hotels in Born, but the room had a strong lock, and the streets were completely safe on return (you press the buzzer and there's 24hr desk cover who let you up to the reception which is on the first floor). There was even shower gel sachets in the room and 3 plug sockets. Oh yeah one other thing - at one point I thought the shower wasn't draining but then realised I had my foot over the plug! ;) Comfy bed. Free fast and reliable wi-fi. Maybe I was lucky but it was really quiet for me. There is a great restaurant next door, which had great salads & a good lunch meal deal, 3 courses and drink for €10.5 and there are a couple of local bakeries which do a croissant & coffee deal for €2, one with a terrace (50cent extra) ideal for low budget travelling. By the way, if you're on Las Ramblas (I avoid this as it's extremely touristy) take good care of your phone / wallet, and keep your hand on them, my hand never leaves my pocket walking around town but two of my friends had their phones taken on Las Ramblas by two strange women. I shall definitely be returning to Pension Segre. Thanks for a great stay.

I was there with my friends in a 4 days vacation. We wanted a private room for us "8 persons". The Pension offered this room which was big enough to fit us. The location of the Pension is PERFECT.. BEST LOCATION EVER.... but everything else is negative.. It is not clean, staff are not friendly at all, it is not safe.... I am not recommending it to anyone...

I chose this hotel because it seem to be close to barcelonetta beach. The price is definitely not worth it as there are other 3-4 star central hotels for the same price. you can always use the tube to go to the beach or anywhere, no reason to book this hotel. The beach is more than 20 minutes walk away anyway.
The main issue with this hotel is the treatment from the staff. I've never come across to worse service and attitude than this. The cleaner shout at us for no reason and the reception person told me to go away when i mentioned that the room didn't have a fan as indicated when i booked it. So i had to stay 4 nights in a room without a fan barely able to get sleep due to the heat. Not to mention that the bed mattress was as hard as a rock.
When booking the room it was mentioning and also showing that there is a ceiling fan. When arriving you are asked to pay in cash for the whole period of stay before you see the room, so you can't get refund.
Moreover the room was barely cleaned if at all while i was away. Overall its the worst place i've ever rented and fully regret it.

Gracias por su comentario. Lamentamos que no le haya gustado nuestra ubicación pero en ningún momento ponemos que estamos al lado de la playa sino cerca. En nuestro establecimiento no disponemos de ningun ventilador de techo (y no existe ninguna foto donde aparezca), ofrecemos a todos nuestros clientes ventiladores, de pie o de sobremesa. Si en algun momento se quejan de que no funcionan en recepción se les cambia por uno nuevo y si fuese necesario se le proporcionan mas. Nuestro personal es muy respetuoso con todo los clientes, pudo ser un malentendido. Nosotros disponemos de datafonos para poder cobrar con tarjeta de credito, y no obligamos a pagar en efectivo, solamente tasa turistica de la ciudad.

I stayed at Pension Segre a few days ago and my arrival was one uncomfortable experience. Upon entering, I was charged a "tourist fee" of 7 euro on top of what I had already payed during booking online. The room has no A/C or heating that you can control personally, the alleys below are noisy up until 5am even on week nights, and there's no way to block out the sound seeing as the doors to the balcony do not shut completely.
Currently staying at a 1 star hotel in Barcelona, after my 4 day visit to the 2 star Pension Segre. And I can tell there's a large difference between the two: the one star hotel is the same price, much cleaner, no provided ash trays in a "nonsmoking" room, personal bathroom and shower, the opening to the balcony actually closes properly and does not let drafts and noise in, and staff is much more friendly and helpful. Also they charged me a 2 euros "city tax" for the same length stay, rather than the "tourist fee" of 7 euros.
In the below review the manager replied with a snappy "stay at a 5 star hotel to get the experience you wished for" (Which by the way shows the friendliness of the place). I'd like to inform that my experience at a 1 star hotel is miles better than Pension Segre, no 5 star needed.
The location was the only good thing about this place, but you can find the same or a better deal elsewhere in Barcelona, I guarantee it.

Gracias por su comentario. Lamentamos que se sintiera ofendido al pedirle la tasa turística (obligatorio por ley en toda Cataluña desde el noviembre del 2012). Espero que lea bien su reserva porque en ningún sitio pone que usted la haya paga por anticipado, al contrario siempre se menciona que esta excluida y que se paga al momento de ingresar en el hostal. Cuando hizo la reserva ya ponía que no teníamos aire acondicionado, pero si calefacción que es central. Al estar en el medio del barrio Gótico, es normal que haya un poco de ruido tanto de día como de noche, (esto pasa siempre en las grandes ciudades). Lo que si comprobaremos gracias a su observación es el cierre de la puerta del balcón, pero lamentamos que no lo haya dicho cuando se encontraba alojado porque el recepcionista le habría cambiado de habitación o avisado al señor de mantenimiento. También le quiero aclarar que se cobra por persona 0.75 euros por día con un máximo de siete días en la ciudad, ustedes pagaron en total seis euros (entre las dos personas) en mi establecimiento y por eso el otro hotel les cobro la diferencia. Gracias.

The location of this place is nice but the place itself is a dump. My boyfriend and I stayed in a room here for 4 days. We were asked for our passports when we checked in. Then he charged us €7 as a "tourist fee". The pictures online are much nicer than when you get here. There are loud church bells that ring every 15minutes and if that doesn't wake you up, the people yelling in the small ally ways will. The staff is not that friendly. The room details included heating, and when we asked for the heat in our room to be turned on, the guy at the desk gave us a hard time. We asked everyday for the 4 days we were there and each time he got angry. When we would leave, the guy at the desk takes your keys which is pretty sketchy. One guy takes your keys, the night guy when we arrived didn't. The bathrooms are clean but the beds are horrible. We had a double and there's only one large pillow for 2 people to share. The room we reserved was non smoking and said so in the details. Yet when we arrived there was an ash tray with ashes in it. Also the hallways and bathrooms smell like cigarette smoke. The room had an old, musky smell. Overall, it was garbage for the price. We regretted staying here and learned our lesson. This should be a one star hotel, if that.

Gracias por su comentario. Cuando usted se registra en cualquier establecimiento de hospedaje del mundo (inclusive de su misma ciudad) es obligatorio presentar los pasaportes para el control de la policía local. Des de el 1 de octubre del 2012, en Cataluña esta por ley pagar una tasa turística por las noches que el cliente se hospeda. Tenemos la suerte de estar al lado de una de la iglesia donde se encuentra la patrona de Barcelona, Santa Mercé, es allí donde los jugadores del Barça después de ganar ofrecen sus trofeos. Al encontrarse en un edificio dentro del barrio Gótico, es normal que se escuche la vida de la ciudad, tanto diurna como nocturna. La habitación de cama matrimonial dispone de una sola almohada grande, pero usted siempre tiene la posibilidad de ir al recepcionista para que le suministren mas o se la cambien por dos pequeñas. En todo el establecimiento está prohibido por ley fumar, pero nosotros no podemos controlar lo que hagan nuestros clientes dentro de la habitación y lavabos comunes. Le recomendamos que si visita otra vez Barcelona i/o otra ciudad, con las expectativas que usted tiene, busque un hotel de cinco estrellas con una ubicación privilegiada y a nuestro precio nos avise, por favor, para tomarlo en cuenta. Gracias.

If you want a modern hotel, air conditioning, a TV or a computerised card key, look away. This place is really not for you.
At 50 years of age, it feels a little like slumming ot a little, but that's because I'm 50 now, and have forgotten how often I used to stay in places like this, and did so very happily.
I have lived in Barcelona over 20 years ago, so although I don't go back often, it's always lovely to come back to such a special city. I brought my 18 year old son, who has been before, and we chose this place primarily due to location, literally 500 yards from Las Ramblas at the Columbus end, near the Port Vell marina.
It's in the Gothic Quarter, full of beautiful old buildings, near great cafes, patisseries and restaurants, at great prices because they are off the main street. It's also quiet, so you don't get the scooters balsting up and down all through the night.
It's a classic Spanish pension, with a desk that is manned 24 hours a day if you do want to go out well into the night. The room was clean, with a great shower in the en-suite bathroom.
You need to go to a farmacia to get your shower gel, there is not breakfast, but there are several great cafes for that. You get a small balcony, and you can open the doors and get fresh, warm Catalan ari, as it's always warm. So no air conditioning, but fresh air is much better anyway.
I loved this place. It's old fashioned, and I hope it stays that way, and all for €50 per night. The wifi works brilliantly as well.
We will be going back.

I was hesitant to book this place because I had never stayed in a hostel before and never wanted to, but this hostel / hotel was perfect. My boyfriend and I had a private room with a bathroom, which was cleaned everyday. Our room was on the third floor, and although the weather is extremely hot and humid in August, the room was fairly cool with the fan, and I slept comfortably every night. We had a wrap around little balcony, with access from two separate doors, overlooking a street corner that was buzzing with people. At night the streets seemed to be filled with young people. The location of the hotel was excellent, just a 5 minute walk to the start of the Ramblas with bars and restaurants and shops all along the way. The hotel is very secure, you have to be buzzed in to the building with the help of a camera allowing staff to control who comes into the hotel maintaining the safety, no matter what hour of the night. The staff overall was helpful, although he did charge us .05E for him to place a call to a cab for us when we left. Wifi is free and connection is fast.
