It was some problem with safety. Some unknown person was in our room, and run away
Perfect location for a reasonable price. Do not expect anything beautiful, but if you are looking for a place to sleep and you want to have nearly all important sites in BCN in walking distance, this is it.
Disrespectful cleaning staff. Incompetent people at the reception. With two exceptions.Unconfortable beds. I've seen a lot of hostel in bcn but this one was realy bad for the price that we paid. You can find better, keed looking for.
Place was okay for the money you pay! It has a great location and the staff is very helpful.
Those who searches for a cheap hostel in the middle of the City Center of Barça: La Rambla, young crowded an quality for what you get, then do not hesitate to book for this staff-friendly hostel as long as you stay here. Top!
Very excellent!
Very bad
The location is the best. They cleaned the room everyday. Staff was really helpful although wifi, which is only available in the ground floor, was down for 2 days and they didn't do anything. The money you pay is totally worth it. The only bad things was the shower in our ensuite room. The doors were almost broken and it was too little. But i would recommend the hostel anyway.
Great location, great atmosphere! The hostel is packed with young people coming from the entire continent. Everyone wants to have a great time and even though there is this policy that you can't drink alcohol in the hostel there is a lounge next to the lobby where everyone is having a drink. There is good music playing in this lounge/kitchen, I don't know of it's the radio playing or the owners of the hostel just have a great playlist.
Over all it's a nice hostel. Central location, friendly staff ect. but it's way to hot in the dorms during night!
The bathroom should be clear and the rooms more aired. But the other points are good.
great staff, very kind and helpful. would come again if in Barcelona.
great location, helpful staff, great common room and very affordable.
All perfect!! Very good localization, close to everything. The only issue is that there is no kitchen, and they charge for plastic cups and silverware!!
Really great located.. Includes breakfast... Free wifi.. Lockers available...
A basic hostel withour a special flair. But the rooms and cleaniess ist ok and the position is perfect, directly at the Rambla and the nightlife from Barcelona.
PROS * It's really, really central (if you like that). Close to pubs, clubs and shopping. * Staff is helpful. * Common room is a nice place ro relax. CONS * It's not a 15 minute walk to the beach, it's more like 30-45 minutes. (Which is okay, but still the wrong info on site.) * The cleaning staff did not change bed sheets when new travellers arrived to the room. * You can not lock a door when showering and it's not obvious which bathroom is for men and women. As long as there are honest people staying at the hostel, this is not a problem, but it's never guaranteed. * You're not allowed to bring any fluids inside the hostel (people did anyway, though). Overall, the place was okay. You get what you pay for. It's a perfectly fine hostel. But in the future I'd look for a hostel not so central - away from all the tourist traps.
i didnt liked the way the hostel works, theres so many people to 1 Staff, theres no kitchen, the bathrooms are dirty, but is very well localized, theres lockers in the rooms and i had so many fun...
unorganized hostel thats a bit impractical and felt dirty at times but good location and helpful staff
The place was ok, my only problem was a feeling of depression because of the colour of the walls. Grey pretty much everywhere and the rest light purple! It would be nice to have warmer colours on the walls, seeing that at least our room faced an internal yard and was quite dark anyway.
