Staff was very friendly and answered all our questions and also gave good local suggestions. It was my boyfriend’s first hostel expense and he was pleased.
The hostel location is great to the none-touristy areas very local eateries, bars and close enough to the other "touristy" things you can or have to do. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plus, the room have air conditioning (AC) which is awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
It was a very convenient location. Super close to everything. Bars, restaurants, and a concert venue all in walking distance. The free coffee, and breakfast and water were super nice and for a hostel has a lot of showers and bathrooms. Even a terrace. Most of the staff were super helpful too.
It might not be for everyone, because it's not a hotel, but a hostel, so you need to know that you will share bathroom and other facilities (even if you have your own room, which I did). You will probably also need to climb stairs, so, if you have a problem with that, you need to alert them in advance.
That said, you are getting what you paid for, so, if you're working on a tight budget, this is great. It's a short walk from the nearest Metro, there are several nice restaurants and take-aways in the area, it was mostly quiet (it's a hostel, remember), and the staff were friendly and accommodating.
Negatives: Bathroom ceiling tiles have mold, there are no full length mirrors in the private rooms, internet is very slow, no hooks on door or wall to hang towels in private rooms, hallways are VERY humid with no fans in the bathrooms for shower, there are a LOT of steep stairs. They don’t participate in any typical hostel actives (eg family dinners, bar crawl, walking tours etc) or help you find them.
Positives: it’s near the metro, plenty of people on the street (even late at night), good tapas across the street, discount codes for all the local attractions in the lobby, free (bad) coffee 24/7, occasional fruit offered at breakfast was so nice to have as a snack (they should ditch the bad muffins & pastry and stick to oranges, bananas, and toast). Good kitchens—very clean!
The dorm rooms looked nice and we would return to them in a group because the prices here are low compared to other spots. But we wouldn’t do a private room here again.
Loved this place! Sweet people. Helpful staff. I loved the neighborhood with it's architecture, tapas, wide range of price options. Easy to get taxis, too. AC was great; we actually got a little too cold and agreed to shut it off. I stayed in Room 3, all women, and everyone was respectful and kind. It’s a low-cost hostel so keep your expectations realistic. But if you just need a bed to sleep in while you explore Barcelona, and save your money for food and fun, this is a great place.
