In 1779 the baron of Sabadossa built a neoclassical edifice in Carrer de Canuda. Due to financial problems, the building was later divided into what today is the Ateneo Barcelonés (one of the seats of the University) at number 6, and the part of the building at number 4, bought by Mr Josep Sola who handed it over as Casal del Exercitant (religious house), which little by little was to become a hostel. Its first guests were ecclesiastics and people from the province, then from all the country, and finally from all over the world.

Hostal Campi keeps on serving its guests with dedication in a familiar environment. Its staff is made of people coming from all over the world, always committed to presenting a smile, to going towards any need customers may have, to doing their best to make their stay in Barcelona comfortable and relaxed. As witnessed by a golden plate situated in the reception, in 1989 Hostal Campi was awarded by “Gremi d’Hotels of Barcelona” for its 50 years of commitment and passion towards its visitors and tourists.
