The 17-room, two-star Hostal Lausanne occupies a beautiful Modernist building on the infamous—and shopper-friendly— Avenida Puerta de l'Àngel. The hostal gives you an idea of what it was like to live in the area circa 1900, as not much has been changed since then.

Rooms are super simple, apart from the elaborately-carved ceilings and outdated chandeliers, and are moderately-priced. Some of the Lausanne's triple room beds—small cots, really—look like they've seen better days. If you're tall, we suggest booking a double or a single room with a normal sized bed. One room in the hostal is quite large, and is the only space with a balcony.

The Lausanne has a very pleasant lounge area, with sofas, basic television, and vending machines. There's also an antique living room, with a balcony view of Plaça Catalunya that is as entertaining as it is picturesque.

Besides being in the middle of great entertainment and shopping, the Lausanne is well positioned for all forms of transportation. There are plenty of pastry shops and restaurants around, too.

Note: The Hostal Lausanne doesn't have air-conditioning.
