Close to the center in the varied Raval neighborhood is Ramos, a two-star hostal with 23 rooms. This is a cozy and inviting place, with nice, simple rooms and friendly staff. Some of the rooms have balconies which look onto the famous San Augustine church. Just off La Rambla, Barcelona's main drag, Ramos is within easy walking distance from the Liceo Metro station and many bus lines.
All of the hostal's well-kept rooms have telephones, televisions, and air conditioning. Additionally, the windows are double-paned to help drown out the late night commotion common in this area. All Ramos' small bathrooms have tubs and are immaculately tidy. There's also an agreeable lounge area with free Internet and some puffy couches. Note that there's no elevator.
Hostal Ramos' location on calle Hospital is close enough to La Rambla that safety problems shouldn't be an issue. Staying at the Ramos will put you right where all the action is and close to many transportation options.
There are plenty of restaurants and cafés along La Rambla and lots of hole-in-the-wall, creative dining options along calle Hospital. The entire Raval neighborhood is jam-packed with interesting new bars and restaurants. For something unique and non-tourist, explore the Raval. Proceed with caution, and a map, as this neighborhood can be a bit tricky at times and pickpockets are common.
