Perfect hostel, very safe! Felt 100% comfterable as a young girl and made a few friends:)
This place is the absolute best hostel in Barcelona. It is incredibly easy to meet people and make friends and the staff is always ready to tell you anything you want to know. You can't beat the location either. All around awesome experience.
Hi, a clean hostel with friendly staff and a good location. The guest accept, that it is not a party hostel but a very fiendly hostel. For me, it was a great place, to experience the City and yhe area around. Thanks for it and have a great time ;-) Hergen
Friendly service and wonderful place to meet new friends. Will definitely want to stay there again.
Perfect place, I can only recommend to all visitors that are for the first time in Barcelona! Kind and very helpful staff!
best hostell i've been 2 in europe - such a nice staff -allways helping and recomending about interesting things 2 do in the city. the place feels more like a summer camp than a hostell - clean worm and fun. will defently return there next time im in barca!!!
You never had to worry about anything. Great for a single traveller.
The Alternative Creative Youth Home is the best youth home I have been at and I recommend it to everyone. People might say that it is more expensive than other youth homes but for the services you get it is really worth it. The people there are very nice and do everything to please you. They even gave me all the best things to do and the places to go in Barcelona which helped me a lot ;) Thanks for everything
reli nice nd cozy plz 2 stay, nd great location 2 everywhere!!! highly recommended!!! thou I'd stil prefer separate bathrooms for girls nd guys, bt overall it's great!!!
Is quit expensive hostel. They charge for everything. We got charget for sheets 2.5 EUR and for leaving the bags 3 EUR (and just till 22). The rooms have no privacy because the doors have no lockers. The rest was ok. Excelent location.
The place was really cosy and friendly- the staff was perfect! thanks for cookies and yougurt :P water sometimes was not hot but anyway I would really reccomand this place :) nice :)
Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location right across the plaza from where the aerobus drops you off. But, a few hidden costs...holding fee, blanket fee, towel..etc
This Hostel is in a perfect location. Middle in Catalunya where the trouble is :-) The staff ist very friendly. Cost & performance ratio ist good. Close-by a superstore with cheap prices. Only the washbasin is to small :-) All in all a great Hostel! U&D
Location's superb, 3 mins walk from Catalunya metro at La Ramblas, 24-hr staff's very helpful with itinerary suggestions and maps. Rooms & shared toilets are clean, kitchen's very small but adequate, they sell 1.5l water just for 1 euro. Only downsides are that we have to pay for bedsheets (2.5euro), leaving luggage til 10pm (3euro), and no breakfast, while we had all three for free in other hostels we stayed in Vienna & Bergamo.
Good value. Great location. Kind and helpful staff. I definately recommend it.
I was very happy to spend my vacation in this hostel, people was very friendly and hostel is very clean and in a wonderfull position. Only one think is not so good, the washbowl in the bathroom is a little bit small but not so important.
Very clean and nice hostel where I felt really welcome! The owner really wants you to have a good time in Barcelona and gives lots of advise on what to do. Bad things were that it was quite cold, the showers weren't always warm and that smoking was allowed in the lounge. But don't let that put you off, it's a really good hostel!
I enjoyed my stay at this hostel. It was quiet and great to come home to after being out all day. It is in a good location and the people are friendly.
I found the hostel very clean, near the center of Barcellona, and full of nice people..but it's near a big street so I found it a bit noisy too!
I really hope there are hostals like this in all citys ´cause the atmosphere was great. This hostal is PERFECT for anyone travelling by there own ´cause I´ts real easy to make new friends here..
