With a mix of 27 amply-sized double and single rooms plus a sparsely decorated lounge, Hostal Campi is a basic but dependable choice. Most of Campi's rooms are larger than those in the average Barri Gòtic hostal. All feature no-frills decoration and many have private baths. Think clean and simple.
Thanks to Campi's fabulously strategic location seconds away from Plaça Catalonia—Barcelona's central hub—carrying burdensome luggage from the airport shuttle bus will be quick and painless. Plus, because it's in the most central part of town, shops, restaurants and nightlife are all easily accessible. Some of the city's best shopping is located on and around calle Canuda.
Hostal Campi resides in the upper levels of an old building and doesn't have an elevator, which means a bit of a workout to climb the two or three flights of stairs to your room. To compensate for the stairs and sparse decoration, the Campi staff (who we quite frankly found to be somewhat brooding) offer free breakfast (unusual in Barcelona), an Internet station, and a coffee machine.
If the hostal breakfast doesn't appeal to you, not to worry! There are plenty of cafés and pastry shops serving up hot croissants and crunchy crusted baguettes right around the corner from you. For location and value, the Campi is not a bad deal.
