Hostal Operaramblas ReviewCheap and cheerful, this safe, well-maintained hostal, located almost next to the Opera House (and not to be confused with the Petit Palace chain's more swish Opera Garden Ramblas on the other side of the city's liveliest paseo) is good for those traveling on a tight budget or alone. Be warned, though: This is basic, no-frills accommodations, with notably thin walls (light sleepers might do well to travel with earplugs) and no luxuries. Plus factors are its friendly and obliging staff and upbeat personality. Some rooms are better than others, however, and if you arrive without a reservation, ask to look around first. Otherwise, opt for something at the back with a private bathroom (shower only), as the street outside -- just off La Rambla -- can be noisy until the early hours. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

| 3 stars | Frommer's Exceptional |
Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
