This is the best youth hostel I have ever been..The staffs are friendly and Security lockers are really helpful to keep the luggage(I never seen this facility in another hostels probably in other EU states).If you are a football fan, Camp Nou is a short walk from the hostel.I would highly recommend this hostel to everyone.

Nice place to stay--very clean, very secure. The common areas are a little crowded, especially if the hostel is booked.

The beds could have been cleaner...I woke up feeling sick after sleeping in one of the bunk beds.

Nice place!!!

The hostel was nice but the location was a fair way away from the main town. The location is right near the main train station which is handy thou. The staff were very helpful. So informative about the town and very friendly. The free breakfast was nice and the lady gave me breakfast even thou I got up late (Was hungover). The only thing it lacks is nightlife. It's more of a nice quiet place to stay than a party hostel. Security lockers are good and the hostel is clean. Wi-fi worked well.

It was good, though lack of group activities meant little mingling with other guests, which is not ideal if travelling alone. Location excellent for football fans though is a metro journey away from the centre. Staff were some of the best I have met though.

They should really tell you on the website that you have to be out of the common room at 1 am. And up and out of your beds by 11 am. Felt like I was staying at a boot camp! Never heard of a hostel where you have to be out of the living area at a certain time. After all we are paying to stay there.

Hello !! Sorry if you didn't like the timetables for the common room and cleaning. There are reasons for them, of course. One is that we prioritize everybody's right to a good night's sleep. People are tired at night and want to rest and we are a very small hostel wher ethe noise from the common areas can bother people in the rooms. They have no option but to be here (in bed) if they want to rest but people that want to party have MILLIONS of options in Barcelona :-) As far as cleaning, I hope that you understand that the rooms need to be cleaned daily. It is necessary in order to keep the hostel in good condiitons and to be sure that everybody can be comfortable with us. We believe cleanliness is TOP priority. Cleaning times are posted on our HostelWorld information page. thanks!

I didn't like fo the time that we have to wake up. At 11 a.m. We are on vacation and have to wake up early. I really didn't like it.

Hi Diego !! We're sorry for waking you up! We believe that keeping the rooms clean is VERY important, especially since you share with other people and people come and go all the time. The only way to do that is to clean the rooms every day, and since people are checking in at 1 PM the room has to be ready for them to be able to enjoy too!! Alberguinn

very nice, only down point is the lockers, a bit small for a larger wheeled suitcase, and very hard to manouevre.

the staffs are really nice and friendly! :) Its easy to come and go to the Barcelona airport, too. Using the shower was kinda tricky bc we need to change clothes and put PJ in the shower space, so i needed to be careful not to be wet! But you can enjoy here at night time. they are providing some free refreshment at night time!

The staff was exceptionally helpful, they outlined the entire city for us and what we should do. We really appreciated the security of the hostel as well as the cleanliness. We were there for the city festival so sleeping was not an option but we managed through. Personally we thought the location was great, a 5 minute walk from Sants Station. This was super helpful since you basically metro everywhere in Barcelona. Overall this hostel was fantastic and I would recommend it to everyone!

Excellent hostel! Felt like home! Rooms were air-conditioned! Please note that people in Barcelona likes partying. :D We had the fortune and misfortune to stay at the hostel when the whole neighborhood arranged a festival with music, drinks and food. Fun! But sleeping can be difficult (even on mon-fri until 2am). The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Juana (?..) She was really good at telling us where to go, eat, drink and party. She told us more than a travel guide would! Thank you!

The staff at the hostel was very friendly and informative, pointing out all the key points in the city on a map. Your enthusiasm and opinions were greatly appreciated and I considered your suggestions during my visit. The facilities were very well kept and clean, from the kitchen to the bathroom & the bedrooms! Although the hostel itself is away from the buzz of city centre, and in a bit of a quiet area, i felt very safe once i was inside, and it is very accessible from the metro. Thanks!
