No sheets or blanquet included. You have to pay extra. Big school groups were all aroud the place. Nice breakfest and the location is ok.

This hostel is in a great spot, walking distance to the beach and very close to lots of great bars in the Gothic area. Check out Rubi bar (Carrer dels Banys Vells, 6). Great vibe, cocktails, 3.50 mojitos, and free Tapas with your drinks (rare in Barca). Check it out. One negative - Charging extra for an additional sheet is ridiculous and just annoys people. Come on guys! The little things count at a hostel.

i wouldn't go to this hostel again: the bedrooms are like warehouses, there are iron ladders/bars everywhere of the room. you can't even walk inside. if you are someone who go to the hostel extremely drunk or tired and in need of just sleep and nothing else you will like this hostel. during my stay of 3 nights i tried to be out of the bedroom as far as i could: the room is dark to see nothing even though it's 10 a.m in the morning! there is a large meeting hall and good breakfast. that's all.

Not a bad setup. Would have been a lot easier if checkout were until half ten instead of ten though.

Good location and there's a lot of privacy which is awesome. There are walls and curtains surrounding your bed so that it's almost like a little room, which is awesome. Good value for money and good breakfast, better than most hostels I've stayed at. The only downside is they don't provide towels and blankets for free. The no towel I could deal with but I've never stayed at a hostel that didn't provide a blanket or sheet. not cool. But overall would definitely stay here again.

Highly recommend this hostel! Excellent location and short walk to most attractions. They have different activities to join every day and someone to help get you there. All but 1 of the staff was really friendly. Beds have light, outlet, and curtains to shut for privacy. I saw cleaning crew in bathrooms every day and there are plenty of showers. I will definitely book with them when visiting their other locations.

I went there just for sleeping, and even though I was in a 12 guests room, I had my privacy: In my room there were 2 rows of 3 bunk beds, each with walls, curtains & the space was 2x1.5 meters (space for bed, and some extra space too), and 1.6 meters high; each of them had also a light, a powerplug, clothes hangers, and a locker (there are lockers outside too), you need your own padlock (they sell them too). 2 bathrooms in the room, showers outside. Staff always asks for your pass: very safe!

I stayed in this hostel for a week. I stayed in a 14 person room and didn't feel overwhelmed by the number of people in the room. There is a lot of privacy so that is great but don't expect to come back to the room even at 10 PM and be loud. The common space was nice and open and a lot of the hostel would meet there before going out at night so that was a good place to get to know people. One thing I hate is it said it had a full kitchen when really it was only a burner that was in constant use.

Excellent hostel! Excellent location - right in the heart of the interesting Barri Gotic, just some steps away from an underground station, and some minutes walking from La Rambla. Helpful staff and pretty safe stay - you're always asked for showing your pass, even for just hanging around the common areas. Really liked the room organization - curtains and dry walls between beds, the most private stay I've ever had. Breakfast was ok.

The location was great, just a few minutes from La Rambla; the receptionist was very helpful; and despite sharing a room with 11 other people there was a lot of personal space in the room. I didn't have to wash my own dishes after breakfast which was a first. A few minuses: there were no duvets but fortunately it wasn't cold at night. The light in the shower boxes was too dim. I'd probably stay there again.

Well.... as they have old wooden floors in the rooms, it is really hard to rest well, as every time anyone gets into the room, you will hear a lot of noise. THEY DO NOT HAVE A KITCHEN!!!! IT IS SMALLER THAN THE ONE YOU HAVE IN THE PLACE WHERE YOU LIVE, AND THEY JUST HAVE A HEATER. Besides that, the staff is great, but probably you can find a better place where to stay.
