Jul 07, 2019 - There are a lot of bedbugs in the room, foreign hair on the floor, heat, and the track outside the window. on the walls are blood marks from crushed
Jul 01, 2019 - Nice hostel. Our booking got screwed up by the person who let us in and put us under the wrong name, which caused some confusion. The traffic is very loud at this location and some might find difficult to sleep
Jan 12, 2017 - Great staff. Location was not in the center but Barcelonas transportation is so great it didn't matter. Nice rooms and decent bed for the price. Would recommend this place for a short stay for sure!
Dec 11, 2016 - The sheets were very clean and ironed, the staff were helpful, tho they had hard time speaking english, also, it was a bit noisy, as it's on the ground floor of a building on a big boulevard. I'm overall happy, we had a decent place to sleep for the money we spent
Oct 17, 2016 - some noise from the street
Oct 06, 2016 - This hostel is good only because is near to the Central Station and it's cheaper.
Aug 22, 2016 - The hostel is pretty far from the center, and in a sort of bad neighbourhood. The hostel lacks a kitchen or common room, so it is hard to get in contact with other guests. The staff isn't really open to questions, and isn't really fluent in English. I did not have the idea that they would have good tips for my trip.
The hostel is sort of clean. Beds are cleaned everyday, and sinks/toilets/showers/floors are clean. Hard-to-reach places are often dirty however. The ceiling in the shower had some moulding for example.
A lot of stuff could use an update. You can feel the separate springs on the mattresses, the furniture is worn out, and some lighting had broken bulbs. It all fell a bit cheap.
Overall, it is a pretty bad hostel. But if you are backpacking, sometimes that is just part of the experience. I mean, it could be worse. For the price it is pretty OK, but there are tons of hostels that are way better.
Jul 21, 2016 - Overall the place was fine for what we needed, a place to sleep with wifi and near the train station. It is not the nicest place or in the nicest neighborhood. Mediocre beds, small shower, pretty clean, very stuffy and hot at night.
Jul 02, 2016 - Daily cleaning of guest area (including making the beds).
Staff is friendly but some struggle with English.
As I was going to the Cathedral etc. the location wasn't perfect for me, but it was very close to both the central station and metro.
For the price I paid it was certainly worth it.
You did have the option to lock your things in a locker, but security was not top notch. As you're sleeping in a room with 5 other people and have the ability to enter and exit the building whenever you want, there's bound to be some security issues. I didn't have any bad experiences with it though since the guy sleeping in the bed next to me was very friendly and kept an eye on my things when I was gone.
All in all I recommend it but I wouldn't advise to stay for more than a few nights.
Jun 22, 2016 - not good at all. Awfully difficult to find. Dark and small. No key cards or keys provided to rooms. Noisy. Female staff have poor English but attentive, male staff member is rude.
