We arrived to the hostel, expecting nothing because of the price being so low. The room wasn't huge, but there was a really nice common area with a lovely terrace and wifi. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, as they helped us with everything from how to get around in town to finding alternative accommodation when we had to... More

I have just returned from Barcelona and I spent two nights in Violeta hostel. The room was small for us as we had a baby who shared us the same bed also the bed was small. The staff were friendly and they made us make early check-in at 12:00 instead of two because we arrived early to the city. The... More

This hostel is very clean and modern. The rooms were very spacious and there were sinks in each room. The communal toilets and showers were individually separated so very private. The showers were also very powerful and clean. This was my first trip to Barcelona and the owners speak very good english, advising us on the best places to go... More

I stayed here for 5 nights, 35E a night for one person. Location - it's about 10 to 15 min walk to everything, which is ok. Bear in mind the downtown area is closer to the action though so on the super hot days and nights it was a bit of a struggle to get through all the blocks. 4... More

Stayed there for a few days and it was actually not a pleasant stay. The rooms are not sound insulated at all, you can hear all the noises from the hall, doors banging, elevator noise, people talking (Spaniards know how to talk loud and passionate). You can and also hear street noise and even the metro when it drives below... More

Room was clean and well decorated. We got the room which the window opened to the walkway to elevator so it was not good to left it opened. At... More

This hostel is tucked away just outside the Gothic neighborhood, just off Passeo de Gracia, close to metro stations and bus stops. The staff was extremely helpful and even called the theater to reserve tickets!

Top notch style and comfort at budget priced. Hostel located a 10 min walk or under 5 min by metro from old sights of Barcelona. Clean building, immaculate rooms, and spotless bathrooms. Only cons were springy bed and spotty wifi. Otherwise would return in a heartbeat. Supermarket, bars, and restos within a 2 min walk, and less than 200m from... More
