Stayed at the hostel for 2 nights, had no problems, nice friendly staff, location is good, if I had to be picky I'd say that the breakfast was not what I'd expected, was only giving the option of toast and cereal, but when your only there for 2 nights its not a big deal, overall I am satisfied with my stay.

I only stayed for 1 night after arriving from Bilbao late. The location is awesome if you're coming by train via Sants Station. It's a little far from busier areas in Barca. Staff was excellent

I only stayed one night, but everything was very clean. It was nice to have a locker with a lock provided. The women who checked me in was very nice and helpful to find things around the hostel. It was also nice to have breakfast but it wasn't anything special, just toast or cereal. It isn't super close to the sights but it is close to the metro system and also the train station.

Only stayed for a quick night (3-4) hours, but the staff was great and the hostel seemed like it would have been a great place to stay longer. I'll try it out next time I go to Barcelona.

Very clean, well-lit, plenty of space in the rooms and big lockers. Only complaint is that the heat should not be on in the bedrooms at the end of April. But other than that, a great hostel.

Only issue, it might be a little bit too noisy at night ( small street, but unbelievably busy)

I had a lovely stay at Alberguinn Youth Hostel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The place itself has a good location, just a few minutes away from metro station. Good facilities, nice common area, I would recommend to a friend :)

It was very nice staying apart from the group of French teenagers who was very noisy in the mornings. The hall has excellent equipment you can really find everything you want.,

Owner Comment (Show)
Hello! Thanks for your nice rating and coments! We are sorry about the noise, it is true that the only night you stayed with us we had a small group of french students and they were a bit noisy in the morning. We always try to control the noise in the dorms area and are very strict about silence during night time, but sometimes it is difficult to keep the hostel quiet when a big group of people wake up at the same time. Anyway, we talked to them and the next days they behaved much better. We hope to see you again in Barcelona someday! ;) Alberguinn

VERY helpful staff--rooms and bathrooms are nice for the cheap price. You have to pay to rent a towel but it's only 2 euros, I believe
