Very nice hostel! Great location (10 min walk to Placa Catalunya, Metro station just around the corner), friendly staff, very clean. Breakfast was included and they had a nice kitchen, dining room and TV room. The rooms and the showers are quite small, but still ok. And they have huge lockers in the rooms for your luggage. Definitely no party hostel, which was fine for me. You can party in town and then are able to sleep at the hostel! I will definitely stay here again when I come to Barcelona!

Perfect location for "Ruta del modernisme" and for the rest of the city, public transports are at walking distance. The hostel itself lacks a little bit of charm (looks like an Ikea showroom) but it's spotlessly clean and quiet.

Good atmosphere, people were friendly and the staff always there to help you and advise you. The place is in a calm area but that is near of everything by walking.

Really great hostel! Close to a metro, and not far from the city's center. It was mellow but incredibly friendly, I would stay there again.

I had a really nice stay here. The weather wasn't really bad for some of the trip so I spent some time on one of the sofas with a hot cup of tea. Great atmosphere to chill. Very relaxing place. I would stay again.

I was very disappointed in this hostel. The staff provided very limited information as far as where to go and how to get places. Furthermore, the staff was not friendly. This place seemed very disorganized, and did not enforce the rules of the hostel. Waking up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom only to come back to find someone in your bed is not pleasant and then to add to that the person on duty makes you move to another bed because they can't get the person in your bed awake.

I was looking for a place that felt like home and the atmosphere was right but many fundamentals were missing. First, the internet connection ranged from very bad to non existant in most of the hostel. Second, there were no power outlets in the bedroom and the ones in the common areas were where the internet connection didnt exist. So you had to watch your electronics while they charge but you couldnt distract yourself with internet while doing so. Also the cleaning left a lot to be desired.

Just wanted to say that there are 3 outlets in the room you were in, apart from all the others in the common areas. The signal for the internet is good but if the router fails for some reason we only have to reset it. You only had to ask. The hostel is cleaned everyday, keeping special attention in the bathrooms.

It is the best hostel so far I have ever stayed!! If I go to Barcelona again, I think I prefer this hostel when traveling alone, especially, even if I have money to stay at 4-5 Star Hotels!! Superb Hostel!

excellent hostel, nice neighbourhood, you're in city centre after 15 minutes walk. I stayed 4 days, staff was extremely helpful, huge lockers, great kitchen, nice atmosphere, easy to get in contact with the other guests, felt home&very safe. only 2 negative points: few socket-outlets and no kitchen use after 11pm (go into the common room...). highly recommended!

This was a nice hostel to stay at. Not too loud, not too crazy either. The staff was very friendly.

Not a party hostel but a good one that ticks all the boxes. It has a Lidl nearby which is very handy and it's just far enough away from some of the main sites so that local restaurants and cafés aren't rididculously priced but your not walking far either to get to the main locations like La Rambla or Monjuic Park.

Nice, cozy hostel in the city center, very close to metro station, local shops and restaurants. Really nice staff, always willing to help. I spent a good time there, if I will ever go back to Barcelona I will definitely stay at their place!
