My boyfriend and I were on a Spanish road trip and so on a budget for accommodations in each city. This hostel had decent prices and was centrally located (15-20 min walk to Las Ramblas). The woman at reception spoke English and was smiling & friendly. Very awkward moment was when she took us to our room, opened the door... More

This place was a wonderful surprise! My boyfriend and I stayed for three nights and we are in our late twenties. The room was HUGE and had a nice balcony. The rooms and shared bathroom were super clean. The place was pretty quiet at night when we were there, which I have found rare for hostels. The location is also... More

The explore Barcelona, this is the place to be! Not only the location is great, very central to everything-sights-Ramblas-restaurants-nightlife-, but also the rooms and shared shower and toilet were very clean ( thank you very much housekeeping!!!). Especially when you are visiting for the first time, this hostel is recommendable. Verónica, Andrés and Monya were the sweetest and the most... More

When we booked a hostel for a cheap weekend in Barcelona, we really didn't hold our expectations too high. We found Paraiso and it was within our price range for this trip so took a chance. it's located about a 15 minute walk from La Rambla and 20 from the harbour in the Sant Antoni area. The area seems to... More

Paid for a double room with shared bathroom and kitchen--excellent value for such nicely built accommodations. Didn't feel like a hostel so much as a hotel, except for the front desk and entrance. Must buzz in downstairs and make your way up, ring a buzzer again to get in. The woman at check in was a bit sullen and abrupt... More

We stayed in Barcelona for a week, 4 persons and we choosed this hostel.This was a nice hostel, clean, friendly, nice decorated but some of the rooms are too small. BUt if you tal with the staff they can give you a bigger room if available. It also has a nice and large terrace. The bad thing is that is... More

I am a frequent traveler. I frequently stay at hotels across the world. Here is why this is the worst hotel I have ever encountered: ROOM: My small room had no windows. It was just 4 walls, a mattress, a dresser, and a small sink. It was extremely hot in the room as there was no air circulation whatsoever. Although... More

Traveling by yourself can be a nerve wracking experience, particularly the first time but this place made me feel right at home. The staff were friendly and helpful, the beds were comfortable and security is great with a buzzer, locked doors, 24 hour reception, key to your room and lockers. Nice area just off La Rambla so not too noisy... More

The best thing about Paraiso is that it was always very clean and tidy. Bins were emptied regularly, the bathrooms were always clean and the common room very clean and tidy. It was a little noisy overnight (our room was near the reception area) but that would be my only complaint. We had a double room which had a basin... More
