If there were no Ilaria, Narcisa and other staff, this would have been the worst hostel I have ever stayed at. Although location is perfect, I felt mislead by information on the hostel world web page. At the time I booked this hostel, as facilities were mentioned internet access and breakfast. Truth is: you have to pay for the internet... More

I spent six days in Barcelona with my class at the Ideal youth Hostel in September 2011. It was quite the contrary to an "ideal" hostel! We were eight people in a fifteen square metre room with a balcony of one square meter. We slept in four bunk beds, instead of the slatted frame was a metal board and on... More

Me and my class stayed in the Ideal Youth Hostel for about 6 days because we wanted to visit Barcelona. We thought that it would be a good idea to stay in the Ideal Youth Hostel because its cheap and centrally located and in a sidestreet of Las Ramblas. But we were wrong. We had a very,very small room and... More

I have bed bug bites all over me. I actually found one crawling on me which was disgusting!! The breakfast is a very, very poor attempt. They served toast which is not toast but more like the dried croutons you buy at the store. Another attempt at breakfast was 2 small muffins.... Is that what you call breakfast? I asked... More

We were able to be with kids our age and became friends. The hostes is well, the staff is nice and there are many young people from other countries. We recommend it to people wanting to konow Barcelona and somebody.

This place was weird. It´s supposed to be a proper hostel, but you can feel there are many dodgy things about it. First of all, they take as much money for a room in one of their two buildings, in La Rambla, as for a room in their main building. And the building in La Rambla is old, extremely noisy,... More

We wanted to be in the main part of the city for a few days of our Barcelona trip, so we stayed here for a few...bad mistake. Yes, it is in a great location! It's right by Las Ramblas. However, it's just not good or clean. The beds were awful (caved in when you layed down), half the lockers were... More

We stayed in this hotel or two nights and discovered the bedbugs after the first. They moved us to a new room but did not take care of our luggage and clothes! Seems they do not care about keeping the place bug-free. We recommend anyone to red up about bedbugs beforehand as it is not funny to bring them home... More

Since the moment we arrived I had the feeling i was in the right place for my vacation. In the heart of Barcelona where all the action is and near to the beach you can do everything you like to do in vacation in a very short distance walk or by metro. The Hostel is very clean and it has... More
