These guys are great! So friendly and wanting to help. They're always around to answer your questions or translate something for you. The area was within 10 minutes of a lot of places, including La Rambla. Great stay!

A greatly located hostel, nothing fancy. The room was very small and made it difficult when it was full for us to move or store our things, and there weren't enough plugs. There are lockers in the rooms, but you can't lock the actual dorm rooms and other guests would rudely leave the doors open constantly. The showers aren't very private but pressure is great. Staff were lovely though! Would recommend for budget travellers, though not if you're looking for a place that offers activities etc.

Art City Hostel is a great deal! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, the entire staff was so friendly and helpful. They even upgraded us to a nicer room for free. The location is right on Rambla de Cataluyna, which is one of the nicest streets in Barcelona and is close to a lot of attractions. Overall, a really great place to stay if you want to save money but still stay in a nice area!

This hostel is beautiful and spacious, located in ten minutes by foot from the touristic OldTown and quite close to several Gaudi houses! Staff was helpful and friendly. If you want a wonderful balcony, book a private room for two :)

ummm where to start. so the hostel is in a golocation to see all the sights, but it is a little bit out of the main busy area. the odd thing when we got there was there was not many people aboutand for the last night/ day we actually did no see another person, which meant the place lacked any atmosphere. Showers left a bit to be desired. but for a last min booking it was a good price.

So funny people, they told me everything about the city. The hostel has a really big livingroom, which was great. Also the location is great. Maybe the best hostel I have stayed in during my eurotrip.

This is an awesome hostel. Great location and great atmosphere. It was easy to come and go as you pleased and keep to yourself, but if you're looking to make great friends, this is the place. Would definitely recommend it to anyone.

A hostel with great personality, comfortable rooms, excellent location, and not too many people inside- it`s a medium size hostel- and complete freedom to go in and out at any time!

Location of this hostel is excellent. It has a big living room and the feeling is like beiing in your own privat appartment. The staff is helpful, and makes you feel in your own house cause you don`t see them all the time...but they show up when you need them!
