A great place to stay in Barcelona, everything we needed. Beds were bigger than a normal single bunk bed, showers worked well, everything was clean and the staff were very friendly. They were happy to help, and we really enjoyed it. The whole place was welcoming and we felt safe to leave belongings etc there, and suitcases on the last... More

Fantastic Hostel. The staff is amazing, super friendly and very knowledgeable. They made us feel so welcome and comfortable! The dorm rooms are basic but the beds are very comfortable and we got an excellent nights sleep. Plus the front desk offer free ear plugs just incase you need to get rid of that jet leg. The location is perfect... More

Great location for the price, decent room and excellent service. The atmosphere was very home away from home and the staff was wonderful. Stayed here for New Years 2013 and everyone in the hostel that night got a gift bag with hats, noise makers and a bottle of sparkling wine on the house! Gave us great advice and met some... More

The peoples at the reception are very nice and helpful. You also get free breakfast in the morning. But some negative points are: (i) our room was small and had bunk beds,... More

We stayed there for 9 days, we were mostly sightseeing all day long, but we stayed also in the evenings in the kitchen and were cooking quite a lot by ourselfs, and never had any problems. There are some advantages, like: localisation - near to everything, close to communication junctions, in walking distance to and from almost all old Barcelona;... More

Our stay @ this hostel was great, we got a very nice double room on the third floor, which was very basic but spacious and suited all our needs. Our room had a balcony facing the main street which could get a bit loud, that was not a problem for us and I actually enjoyed the view. It is a... More

Location is super central for the gay nightlife, and cheap. Stayed in a private room with my friend (bunk beds)... The hostel isn't really modern or super nice, but the services and everything was up to par with my standards for hostel living.

They better use AC instead of the fans in the bedrooms, the bathroom is somehow tight but it was clean. The best thing is that it was at the center few steps from La... More

This hostel that comes under different names is conveniently located but sadly that’s about it. I stayed there two nights and both evenings there was no hot water! It’s fine when the weather outside is grand, but not when you are coming back from town soaking wet! Staff members were friendly and sympathetic but apparently couldn’t do anything about the... More
