Downtown Paraiso Hostel Reviews

Very cool set-up and decor. Communal: kitchen, dining room, living room w/tv & terrace were very spacious and clean. Our double room with ensuite bathroom was very nice, but could have used another cabinet/set of drawers. Staff was friendly and helpful in providing directions, info, tour/attraction ideas, restaurant advice, etc. Loved that there was a FREE hairdryer available for use and good FREE wifi. We have stayed at 20+ hostels over the past 2 months, and yours was by far the best!

When we go back to Barcelona we will definitely stay there

They are definetly situated just a few steps from downtown. Their location is awesome. Staff was really friendly and gave great recomendations about things to do and places to visit. The hostel was clean and they had an awesome area for lounging. Most of the rooms (maybe all) have shared bathrooms but they are clean so it does not matter.

I was very pleased with my stay at Downtown Barcelona Hostel. I found your staff very friendly and helpful and very accomodating to our requests. I was having credit card issues at the beginning of my stay, and I appreciated your staff's willingness to give me a day to clear up the issue. I felt very safe and comfortable. I also appreciated the cleanliness of your facilities, expecially the bathrooms. If I ever visit again, I would be more than happy to stay at your hostel.

Located perfectly in Raval, really nice, easy going staff, very very clean. Quiet at nights, perfect for smaller groups/pairs who like to hang out and then have a peacefull place to rest.

The staff is very nice, the location is excellent just a few streets from Las Ramblas and Liceu station, they were very nice and gave us free maps of the city which were very usefull through the journey, every question was answered i think no one can complain about it.

Friendly staff

The name of the hostel has changed and it isn't labeled very well, so it can be a bit tricky to find. The address listed is accurate. The location is in an alleyway but it is quite close to La Rambla and Liceu. Cons: For some reason, the hostel's credit card reader wouldn't accept my card even though I have never had a problem with it in Europe before. One of the neighbors has an annoying, yippy dog, but the hostel can't control that. Pros: Really nice and helpful staff, bright colors, location.

The colors and atmosphere of this hostel are truly unique. It makes this place brighter, which automatically puts you in a fun and festive mood - perfect for Barcelona. The Staff is extremely helpful to. They suggest all the right places to eat and places to see. The paella restaurant suggested to us offered some of the best paella I ever tasted. My only critique would be the wifi. In community space, it works great. But in the bedrooms it tends to dull or null.

A great place! There is heating so soaked clothes can dry. It was out of season so not many people were in the hostel - it was quiet. But possiby it can be noisy as you can hear everything through the walls. Also we couldn't find the hostel at the beginning, only a small logo near entryphone. Otherwise absolutely fantastic, specially place to sit outside on the roof, between two very Spanish buildings!

Really liked this hostel, perfect location

We found a very friendly staff that helped us whenever they could (reservations for a Flamenco-evening, borrowed a hairdryer). We loved the colourful hostel with a pretty stone floor and a clean kitchen. Our room was located just next to the big terrace, where we had a siesta in the sun. The beds werde comfortable. Unfortunately we could'nt regulate the heating, which was on its highest level. The hostel is close to the Ramblas, so it's a good place to start sightseeing by foot or by metro/bus.

Nice location, good value for money and staff were very helpful, walls were abit thin though & could hear the conversations of the neighbours very easy but overall a nice place

We spent a very enjoyable week in Barcelona and our stay in this hostel was part of this experience. The atmosphere there is very friendly, kitchen is very well organised and the rooms are small but cozy. There are also two computers with access to the internet available to guests so you don't even need to bring your laptop if you need access to the net.

Very friendly staff. The hostel is very pretty, has a beautiful decoration, and the location is perfect.

too many music during the evening time...

Very nice staff, nice hostel!

The new administration from the hostel really need to review at least some rooms. They surely gonna have some problems. We passed just one night there and that was enough. In the middle of this night, we found some insects that was hurting us. My girlfriend had blood in her legs from those insects. An advice: the room 13 was in a bad situation. I don't know how is the situation right now, but they are really good persons and i think they have solved the problem.

Really helpful staff in a clean hostel full of character would definitely stay again!

Really like our stay! Hope to be back in Barca soon!
