So I booked a single room at Casanova B&B http://www.barcelona-accommodation.info/view.php?ID_propiedad=3. It looks nice but I am just now seeing some pretty unfavorable reviews for this place (ie. very noisy b/c it is close to a hospital, unfriendly staff, not as nice as the pictures look) and I want to cancel my reservation and book another room. I don't want to spend more than $35/night- I know this it will be difficult to get a private room in a hostal/hostel. I am travelling alone and think it will be a little more comfortable to have my own room. Any suggestions/ideas?
Yes, do a google search for "hostels Barcelona" and read about all of them. Finding a single room for $35 may be difficult.
Hi
Do not stay at Barcelona Mar Youth Hostel.
read the reviews, the second one is mine.
the man at the counter is so rude.
It is in the middle of the red light district but close to everything but the atmophere is not friendly.
here is a good web site by Hotelz.com

If you don't want to spend more than $35 a night AND you want a nice place to stay, my advice is to look into shared rooms. ;-)
