Everything was great, i was on a 12 beds room so there was bad smell, but nothing intorable. The staff is frendly. Bring a lock because lockers dont have one, and you get two lockers, one for the lugagge in your room (quite big) and a smaller one outside. If you dont have a locker they can sell you one for 2 euros. If its cold, bring some blanket, cos they provide bed cloathing but just the basics, blanket its also 2euro. Had a great time there

I didn't enjoy staying in this hostel. Due to its size and large number of people who were staying there it felt like staying in factory. The dorm rooms are big and dark, the kitchen is tiny, especially considering how many people are using the hostel at the same time. There are almost no cooking utensils if you like to cook and only one element stove. I didn't like how they charge for everything, from locks to use lockers to blankets. The floors make creaking sound when you step on them.

Very nice set up in the rooms. A lot of privacy. Toilets in the room but showers down the hall, but not that big of a deal. Lockers in the room as well as bigger ones in the hall - need your own padlock. Overall a good experience, would stay there again.

This hostel is amazing! I m a solo traveler and the big common room made it really easy to meet people. The location was perfect, beautiful, safe, and close to everything. The privacy in the dorms was handy too if you know what I mean. By far the best hostel I have ever stayed in! Only complaint was the rooms where freezing and you had to pay for a blanket.

Hostel is in the Old Town (Gothic Quarter) close to Juame metro station. Hostel itself is a little solitart, but dependent on who's residing there can bring it to life! Dorms are dark and you ge a cabin style bunk with a locker (bring a padlock) curtain, light and socket, which is good for privacy. However the rooms can smell a bit from overnight odours!

It has free Wifi, the dorms are really really cool... its like a gothic stile too.. and it feels that you have your own prived cabin.. i like that.. breakfast is good, and it has a good location as well, just a few minuts walk from the beach and from downtown.. just there's one thing they have to change.... there's someone working at night that seems to be tired of his job.. he's not nice and always angry.. so dont get home too late cause he will get so mad. But the rest of the stuff is helpfull

Hostel was good. Great Location. would stay again. Maybe a few hooks in the shower to hand the stuff on might be a good idea.

Room we stayed in was dark, smelly and bunks verrry high up. Kitchen only has one element, very small! No blanket provided, just a sheet. But good location if you want to stay in old town and don't plan to hang around the hostel much. Staff friendly

Hostel is located in the Gothic quarter, just off the square where Juame I metro stop is (yellow line). Hostel is clean and classic dorm style with "some" privacy with curtains on beds. The dorms a bit gloomy, as main light is on a timer, though you get a bedside light and plug. Floors are a bit squeaky, so if your a late or early riser, there's a chance you'll wake someone up. Amenities are standard with common room and "small" kitchen with games and TV on hand. Staff are friendly.

Since we had 12 people in a room , some people came back very late in the night and inevitably made some noise which definitely affected others . I think if there are some rooms for 6 or 8 people , that would be much better.

Unique style of beds, very colorful place, very helpful staff, especially the cool guy that worked Sunday during the day --> told us THE BEST restaurant to go to and gave fantastic advice about the city!!!! Cheers man, Barcelona is the best city in the WORLD! Atmosphere in the hostel among travelers was not overly friendly but I guess you get that travelling around Christmas time....
