It's definitely one of the best backpackers I've stayed in, it was spotless, very cosy and the staff were extremely kind and nice. Thanks for everything you've made my time in Barcelona. He pasado el fin de semana ahí y es de los mejores sitios donde he estado, estaba muy limpio, es super acogedor y las chicas que trabajan allí son encantadoras y muy atentas, muchisimas gracias por todo Violeta Coy

Cleanest, calmest and nicest hostel I have ever stayed in. Especially for Barcelona this hostel is a good place to relax and close enough to everything when it comes to fiesta.

I've just stayed one night, and it was just ok. The bed was good and the room was clean, although a little smelly. The bathrooms weren't very clean - someone had vomited in one of then, and in other two the guest that used it before didn't even flush; besides, it smelt bad. Just one hairdryer was working - and only for 2 minutes. The breakfast is ok, but the butter they offer is really bad!!! The location is good, near Passeig de Gràcia. It's a good place if you want to rest.

The only thing I can say is that our rating in cleanliness is very hhigh and the is a reason. If someone vomits and nobody says anything the staff cannot know. We check the bathrooms and kitchen all the time to see that everything is clean and ready to use. If someone goes to the toilet in the middle of the night and does not flush the toilet, is it our fault or responsability? The is a very big sign in the rooms asking the guests to tell the staff anything that can be improved or any complaint. If you did not say anything we cannot guess. The hostel is cleaned and aired every day.The hairdriers stop when the resistence is too hot, for precaution. This a hostel and most hotels don't even provide one. I am sorry you did not enjoy the hostel as most people do.

Clean safe hostel with a homey atmosphere. Nice kitchen and common room, quiet friendly people, great staff. Only complaint is that there were rather few showers for the number of guests and while I appreciate their "green" efforts, the light sensors in the bathrooms required constant handwaving to keep them on or shower in the dark.

This is one of the best hostels i have stayed so far because it felt so homely and comfortable. Everything (kitchen,rooms,toilets,common areas) is located on the second floor and since the place is not huge, it feels like home. There is free night snacks 4 times every week and huge lockers provided for keeping your baggage. The staffs are the most friendly and helpful among all that i have seen. I would definitely recommend it!

Location was nice, staffs are kind, and the hostel was safe. However, it was really noisy at night, so I cannot sleep well!

I booked a total of 24 spaces for last weekend and every guest was pleased with the standard and service they received. Great location, central to Barcelona and Las Ramblas.

The hostel really is a nice place to stay in a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful and the place is clean, secure, and in a good location for exploring the astounding city. The only thing missing in the hostel is a roof-top terrace, balkony, or anything else to enjoy the evenings at fresh air. Once you're in the hostel, you're kind of "locked in" :-).

Good hostel, one of the better ones I've stayed in so far. Only the last night some people were very noisy, staff should ask them to keep the volume down, especially since this is a hostel advertising with the fact that it is a quiet hostel and not a partying one . Other than that it's a good hostel, cleanliness ok, friendly staff who speak sufficient English, breakfast at a small price, rooms were ok. Bath/showering facilities were very good!

I have traveled for one year. its the best hostel that i have lived. although there was the general strike on that day, but i really enjoyed four nights in Barcelona. The staff is so nice and tried to slove my every problems. If u get some questions wanna know about the city, they always help u a lot. If there are some beds still available when u are checking, don't miss it !!
