Hostal 1888, Gironella Overview
Hostal 1888 is located in Gironella, Spain. Rated 8.6 out of 10 based on 48 guest reviews.
Hostal 1888 is a small, non-smoking stay in Gironella, Spain, set on Avinguda Catalunya, 14, a practical base for exploring the Berguedà countryside. The property’s medieval-inspired touches give the rooms a distinctive look, while the basics stay firmly modern: air conditioning, soundproof rooms, and private bathrooms with shower. Guests consistently rate the experience highly, with an overall score of 8.6/10 from 48 reviews, suggesting a steady standard rather than a one-off. Many travellers mention that the quieter, soundproofed rooms make a difference after a day on the road, and that the comfort of climate control helps in warmer months.
On-site dining and a coffee shop on the premises make it easier to keep plans simple, whether you’re arriving late or want a relaxed start before heading out. For logistics, private check-in/check-out and an invoice provided help keep things straightforward, and the hotel can arrange a shuttle service for an additional charge when you need transfers. If you’re driving, note that parking is not available, so plan to arrive with that in mind or coordinate alternatives in advance.
The surrounding area is best enjoyed by travellers who like day trips and slower pacing: Montserrat is about 48 km away, while Gironella’s centre and church area are roughly 2 km from the hostal. Families will appreciate that children are allowed, and road-trip friendly guests will value the car hire and the calm, restful room setup after long drives.
