I've never been in a hostel before but this place has definitely changed me! Everything is so clean, the beds and pillows are comfy. Reception staff are so helpful and all the tour guides are so lovely! I stayed in the 12 bed all girls room which was fantastic. Would definitely book with their other branches

I only stay in hostels when I’m traveling solo. This was the worse experience. Ever. Didn’t sleep a wink: 1. The mattress was as firm/soft as florist foam/oasis (not joking). The pillow wasn’t much better. Felt like the pillow was filled with old clothes/sheets. 2. I was very undecided on breakfast, but caved and fell for the hard sell on breakfast. Then I realized I had to leave at 6:30 AM, because I had a 8:00 AM train to catch. However, breakfast didn’t start until 8:00 AM. Staff refused to refund the breakfast fee paid, even though I was never advised it was non-refundable. 3. The other roommates were clashing and banging (packing) between MIDNIGHT and 2:00 AM. 4. I was surrounded by snorers. 5. Staff aren’t interested in helping or assisting with tourist-related questions. 6. Have decided my sleep, and peace of mind are worth more than saving a few dollars on hotels. I cannot, in all honesty, recommended St Christoper’s Inn in Barcelona.

İ was unpleasantly surprised by this hostel… I genuinely had very high expectations and was hoping to have a wonderful time. The hostel is very well placed, so it deserves recognition on this part. The rooms were clean, but slightly smelly (nothing that a open window didn’t fix), everything was fine until the sadly uncooperative staff intervened. I am not by any means demonizing the members of staff who i want to believe are genuinely nice and good hearted people, but sadly one condescending, high nosed individual (who will recognize himself), had to show that he was the bigger man. Sadly this, and the toilet hygiene, has made me understand that i will not recommend or come back to this establishment.

Great hostel with a nice atmosphere and lots of fun activities to enjoy and meet fellow travelers! Also pretty clean. The walking tour with Jaz is a must. She's super nice and fun, and you will learn so much about Barcelona and the locals. Definitely recommend staying here.

Location-wise, it is very very central. Only 2 minutes away from Plaça de Catalunya and Las Ramblas, even 30 seconds if you run. So you only have to walk a little bit from the last stop of Aerobus at Plaça de Catalunya if you fly to Barcelona. But if you arrive prior to your check-in time while bringing big luggage, prepare to pay 3.5 euro per 6 hours for a locker (unless you don't mind dragging your luggage anywhere you go while waiting for your check-in time).

HORRENDOUS AND INHUMANE STAFF; Staff literally stormed my pod, pulled open my curtain and woke me up so rudely at 9 am to ask for “my card” and refused to leave until i got up and showed it to him- all because their system was down with zero fault on my end. When I calmly confronted the manager about attitude of staff and how it’s a breach of privacy to open curtain while guests are asleep in the pod, he said “they have every right to do so” and asked me “to leave if I didn't like it”. I’m simply appalled at how unnecessarily rude and disrespectful the staff was. Checked out instantly and booked another hostel. AVOID at all costs, staff and manager lack bare minimum social skills and common courtesy. SHAME.

Thank you for leaving us a revieww about your stay, we apologise to see you encountered some issue whilst staying with us here in Barcelona. Upon further investigation to this matter we saw that you had not yet paid for your reservation and left your ID with us at the reception. As the reservation was not paid for in the report for the morning staff it says that we need to check the bed, this is a security measure that we do daily to make sure that the people in the room are paying guests. We apologise if the staff distrubed you whilst checking you had a reservation in the hostel. We checked the cameras whilst you were at the reception and noticed you were smoking at the desk which is unfortunately not acceptable as we do not allow any smoking/vaping inside the property. Our staff are always here to help and deal with every issue in a calm and professional manner however apologise again if you felt mistreated at any point.

Whether you're travelling alone or in a group, this is where you want to stay. There are tons of free activities, the hostel is being cleaned thoroughly few times a day, there are special discounts in the bar if you're staying there and the most important thing of all - the staff is super friendly and they have no trouble speaking english. I have to mention three people that have my deepest gratitude: 1) Denisse who works at the reception has to be one of the kindest people I've ever met. You'll never see her without a smile on her face and she'll always be ready to answer whatever questions you might have and give you great general advice on Barcelona. 2) Lina who works as a tour guide/party organizer will joke around with you and always make you feel included. By far the person you'll have most fun with and she knows A LOT about some of the less touristy things in Barcelona. 3) Olga who will take you on a tour to see the outside of Sagrada Familia. Never in my life have I had a more detailed guide. She knows how every stone on the building was put, the meaning behind it and at the end of the tour you'll feel like you've personally known Gaudi for years.

Nice hostel, very modern and clean. The welcome event was great to meet people, the food and drinks at the bar were delicious and at a good price. Social vibes but still had a good rest there. The location was very convenient right next to Placa de Catalunya.
