One member staff was particularly unpleasant. Other than that, not a bad place to stay if you're on a budget. You get what you pay for but there were no nasty surprises here.

I was looking for a cheep hostel, and I got what I expected. Positive: everything was clean (I expacted worse) and there was a fully equipped kitchen (fridge, microwave, dishes etc.). Negative: the hostel is not in the center. It is true, it is near of Sagrada Familia (but the church is actually far from most main attractions). The other thing: quite loud music during night and bunk beds are really instable (it really shakes when people (upper or lower you) moving;

A good place to stay, but I don't think you will get to sleep much. You really are jammed into the room with 12 others! But it's really cheap and that's key I guess! Just bring your own padlock for you locker :)

It's really cheap and the location is okay. Unfortunately there are no lockers and the we had a hard time going to sleep, since some of the guests and staff decided to have a party at 1 am, right next to the dorm

Awesome place. Great value.

This is a nice place to stay because the travelers here are usually very nice and interesting people. But the hostel could be something way better with investment. It is amazingly cheap to stay in there and the location is good, really near from the Sagrada Familia and the line 2 of the subway. Don't expect to have a rest here but expect to meet and share with a wide variety of people! If you want to lock some of your things don't forget to bring your own lock! Enjoy Barcelona :)

Highly recommended! Everything was more than excellent!

The dormitory in which I stayed was pretty subpar; it was not very clean, there was only a sliding door to get in and my bunk bed actually broke when I first tried to get on it (though it was dealt with in a timely manner). The kitchen was ok; I was able to cook a couple meals there. The staff are nice and helpful... I am mostly disappointed with the actual room I stayed in.

I found it excellent! The staff was great, charming, open and helpful. I read somewhere bad comments, and now after my experience, I don't know where those people went & what they experienced, because it was nothing like what I saw at the hostel.

Nothing to complain about! :) Helpful staff, nice atmosphere. Small but clean kitchen to prepare something to eat. Great location! But if you going to Grafiiti in winter don't forget to take warm clothes with you, it may be cold inside.

It was a bit hard to find, the nearest metro station is very confusing.. When I found the place it was actually hard to tell, they don't have the name out front just a sticker with hostel world on it. That being said it was within walking distance of Sagrada. The people at the desk were not very helpful though, they had no answers to our questions about where to eat or opening hours of sites.

The staff was really friendly and accommodating. As for the hostel itself, it's not really very decorated as they say it will be, and it is kind of strange that they don't have a sign on the street, so you just have to know the street number when you arrive, but the hostel is clean and the atmosphere is great. It's definitely a great value for the money.

The staff was awesome!

The lockers were so small that we couldn't fit anything in it. There are gaps above the walls so you can hear everything from the neighbor rooms and because of that can't sleep. The staff is not friendly so much, totally behaving cold and seems like they avoid us. The room doors doesn't have door locks also. Quite bad but for that money, kind of okay, yet not acceptable.

It was the perfect place to stay! The people were all very nice and helpful, and it's only a 5 minute walk to the sagrada familia and a 15 minute walk to the beach. The only negative things I can say is that the music stayed on late and loud and that the staff doesn't really have any touristic advice

It has a good central location, metro within 2mins walk reach, and the facilities are clean. The value for money is great! The only thing to complain would be the noise: located close to a busy road and hearing the staff listening to music til midnight. So maybe more likely enjoyable for visitors who enjoy nightlife and dont go to bed early!

For one of the cheapest hostels, it was great, roof terrace and balcony, good size rooms and great bathrooms. A couch would have been amazing or at least somewhere warm to get out of the way when everyone came to cook & eat!
