My first time in a hostel and would definitely go again. the location was very handy for the sants train station which we appreciated at both ends of the break when we had to carry luggage :-). Staff were very friendly and helpful and it was a good base for a Barcelona adventure. x

Clean and friendly hostel with good security. I missed some hand dryers or paper towels in the bathroom in stead of bringing my own towel for a simple hand wash.

Alberguinn is an excellent hostel a few blocks away from the metro station in Barcelona. Very clean, stress-free and welcoming. Nice lounge area with books, free maps and computers. Breakfast was basic but included and pretty good. While it isn't in the Gothic Center, the location is not bad. The only problem is that the subway stops running at midnight so it can be a little difficult to get back. Staff is very helpful, especially Nicolas. I would definitely recommend. Great experience!

This hostel was wonderful. Very convenient location, the rooms have a lot of space, as do the bathrooms. The breakfast is great! Staff is very friendly and helpful, they'll tell you anything you need to know and will even make you Sangria :) No complaints about the hostel, I definately recommend it!

Only stayed a night because I had a flight the next day. Perfect location for Sans station, not so much for other things. Staff were really lovely and helpful, breakfast was okay, beds a tad noisy but overall a nice hostel and very clean! I liked the bathrooms, there was no way you could drop your undies in the shower!

Hi Richard! Thanks so much for your positive impression and appreciation on the hostel. We are so sorry about this unfortunate incident, we tried to clean the room as quick as we could and 'kindly' invited the person reason for this problem to leave the hostel! Hope we can meet you next time you visit Barcelona and we'll make sure you spend a great time in Alberguinn with no unexpected 'surprises'! :)

A quiet and very good hostel. Clean, good location, near stations. I reccomend it. However, for those looking only for fun, bars in the hostel, I think you should search other hostel. Alberguinn is a quiet hostel, but very good!

The hostel is in a great safe location, 5-10 min walk from barcelona sants station. Supermarkets close by helpful knowledgable staff. Kitchen facilities were useful breakfast basic but free!! An incident happened at the hostel which couldn't be helped, the staff were very very helpful and made it easier for me for the situation to be fixed promptly. Def recommend.

I thought that the main feature of this hostel is the staff. They are friendly, informative and very knowledgable. Nothing is too much trouble for them. I had a throughly enjoyable time and if I ever return to Barcelona this is where I will be staying.

All the staff at this hostel were so helpful! They all spoke English very well. Everywhere in the hostel was very clean, including the bathroom and showers. It was not loud and we were able to sleep pretty well. There was a small breakfast in the morning which was good. Also, there is wifi in the common area. I would definitely stay here again!

The people who works there are very nice and always help and give tips. The breakfast is a little simple, but it is enough.

The bedroom and break fest-room ware very clean, except some toilets. Its a good place to stay if you want to know Barcelona! You have a good connection with the Metro, you can go anywhere! (at the week,the metro will be closed after 0:00 hour! but there are still night buses) Be a car full,because there are more of 1 way out of the metro station! If you lost your way there are very friendly local people who tell you the way on Spanish language and hand moves! sometimes you don't have to ask!

Staff... Wicked! Not really a fun hostel - nothing happening... but it's clean, great location - right next to train station so no walking or lugging for ages with ur backpack. And a simple metro right to the city centre. Good breaky, hot showers. No complaints. Go on a free walking tour... U get discounts to other events and a free dinner!

I spent one night here and was really impressed, staff at the reception was very helpful. Great location for the train station and also a short walk away from the Camp Nou. Will definately stay again on my next visit to Barcelona

The staff was great and I like how the sleeping area was inside so it was quiet at night. That was a definite plus. I just wish there are more outlets to charge electronics. Also how come the common room isn't 24 hours?

Nice place, near plenty of metro and train stations, beds could be a bit more comfortable and there is not much room in each shower cubicle, otherwise very helpful and friendly staff with activities every night.
