“Hostal Balkonis has a prime location near Barcelona's metro and port. While the staff's friendliness and the clean rooms are pluses, the lack of in-room amenities like AC and a bin detract. Security issues, such as a broken floor door and a missing door lock, raise concerns, especially considering the price.”
