Breakfast
The breakfast buffet includes a wide selection of items, from fresh fruits, cold cuts and cheeses to cereals, yogurt, pastries and beverages like coffee and juice. Many highlight the coffee machine's quality, describing the coffee as particularly good. Others note that while the breakfast is simple, it's sufficient and covers all the basic requirements.
Frequent mentions are made of the breakfast’s excellent value for money, especially as it is included in the room rate. The staff's willingness to accommodate early departures with "breakfast to go" bags adds a personal touch that guests find appreciable. The dining area for breakfast is pleasant, contributing to an overall positive start to the day.
However, it appears there is room for improvement regarding the variety and freshness of some items. Some reviews mention a degree of monotony and the use of pre-packaged pastries, which can detract from the overall experience. Despite these minor setbacks, the general consensus suggests that the breakfast at Hostal Baler is reliable, satisfying and an appreciated inclusion in the room price.
Rooms
However, the room sizes are frequently mentioned as being very small with limited space for luggage and movement. This compactness makes them more suitable for short stays or solo travelers rather than extended visits or for those traveling with much luggage. The decor is simple and functional with private bathrooms included, albeit sometimes described as small and less well-appointed.
Soundproofing seems to be a notable issue, as thin walls lead to noise disturbances from adjacent rooms and common areas. Some guests also experienced temperatures that were either too cold or too stuffy, further impacting comfort.
Despite the small size and soundproofing issues, many find the rooms to be good value for the price, especially given their cleanliness and functionality. Basic amenities are provided and the location near Sants station is convenient for travelers. Overall, Hostal Baler offers a clean and comfortable stay that is budget-friendly and suitable for brief visits.
Beds
However, there have been some noted drawbacks. The rooms and beds are often described as small with limited space around them, which could be a concern for those seeking more room to move. Additionally, some guests found the beds to be either too soft or too hard and there's a consistent mention of single beds being positioned close together or separating easily, which might not be ideal for couples looking for a double bed setup.
Overall, while the beds at Hostal Baler are largely deemed comfortable and well-maintained, the size and arrangement might not suit everyone's preferences.

Parking
It's important to highlight that the hotel itself only offers a single parking space on the premises.

Overall, while Hostal Baler does provide some parking solutions, guests should be aware of the limitations and costs associated with car parking well ahead of their arrival.
