It was absolutely difficult to find, they charged me extra for getting lost, I felt so unsafe walking to and from the Hostel, got so confused with contradicting words from several workers, and the place was so unclean. Should've been 5 euro a night, waste of money completely. Go somewhere safe, clean, and an actual hostel. I will never ever return back. Terrible service, location, facility and safety factor. And one of the workers was living/sleeping in our same room....

I'm sorry that you've had a bad experience, and its a shame that you disagree with the hundreds of people that stayed with us.:/ and loved it. Should have followed the instructions in our emails, and contact us before coming to tell us the time of arrival. In this way you would have had a better idea and help on how to get here, this neighborhoods are tricky. Many countries and neighborhoods feel unsafe for outsiders, but we have NEVER had any stolen good from our plece EVER :)

The location of the hostel was great, so close to the rambla! However the exterior of the hostel looked like an old, run down shop that hadn't been open for years. When I arrived I had no idea it was the hostel, there is no sign or anything! The atmosphere is very relaxed and peaceful. My main issue was that it wasnt clean. The bathrooms smelled bad and rubbish was left in our room. There was nowhere to keep cases before check in (1pm) or after checkout (11am) which was inconvenient.

The hostel was nice but I had a hard time sleeping because there was a group playing music pretty late. Also I felt like I could not contact the staff because they were not on site.

Hi there, We don't have 24hs reception, once in a while we have scary guests :) But as you know we did not have any problem with him rather than the drunk episode :/. I did not go immediatly only because there was no reason for me to do it, nevertheless I went only because you requested it to me. I was there at 4am. Gave you a new bed in a different room and fresh sheets for it. Also made sure this problematic person was out of the hostel at 11am. The clean part I find difficult to believe, and if you did find anything not clean it might be because someone did not clean after him/herself. My self and my staff, we are there 12 hours a day cleaning continuously . Hope you had a nice trip back home, Matias

Excellent location however extremely hard to find. Friendly staff and adequate facilities. I traveled during the low season, couldn't comment much on the atmosphere.

The hostel has a perfect location as it is located in walking distance to the beach, the night clubs and 30 meters from La Ramblas. my friend and me stayed there for a weekend and we liked the big living room and the kitchen we could use. The owner is very friendly and helpful. I would defenitely stay there again!

The hostel was excellent!! Felt like i was at home, excellent location highly recommend it! Have 2 things though that bothered me.. the hot water for the showers would end after the second guest's shower which meant all the rest had reaaaaally cold showers! :( and there are no lockers in the rooms.. other than that its a super cute hostel and i recommend it!

Location is ideal for those who want to stay near Las Ramblas literally steps from that area and very close to the Metro stops. The area is secure, clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this location
