Very clean hotel but we got our purses stolen and did not get any help from the hotel. Nobody asked us how we were and if we needed help... The staff was in average quite unfriendly. Good point is the unlimited access to internet and the location. The free use of the kitchen is practical because the food is quite expensive in Barcelona. In average, it was OK for the price, too bad that the staff does not care about the clients.

It has hot water. And because I feel cold in the room, I asked for 2 more blankets. The staff are kind.

The location of the hostel is good but the room was very small and the view from the window was to a wall! The staff is very nice and helped us with directions to sightseeings. The elevator sometimes didn't worked and that was nat very pleasant. Overall i recommend the hostel only for slepping after a long day of sightseeing.

We were only there for two nights. Great Location near Las Ramblas and the Beach. Very Spartan rooms - only beds, no tables, no chairs. Good Breakfast but the sour-faced woman providing the breakfast was an irritant. Fernanda, the day-time receptionist was extremely pleasant and helpful. Would go there again, mainly because of the location rather than the facilities.

They lacked a lot of stuff. The breakfast were poor, some of the staff is not so polite. The location was great, but thats all there was. It's a tiny building, and if you are a girl and want to take a shower. others can see in.. really weird,

The location is good but the hostel is very run down and very dirty. When I stayed the hostel had bed bugs and I got bitten from head to toe, covered in bites and it runined my holiday. The staff did move us into a different room so they could fumigate however we still had to pay full price. The bathrooms and toilet are also very run down and dirty. There is no common room, only a kitchen which is not very comfortable. They should invest some money back into the hostel for basic renovations!

Right by the harbour, las ramblas just round the corner, convenience shops everywhere. Reception very helpful. Safe in the room (no padlock though- take your own!) 4 showers per floor (2 male 2 female). Bunkbeds weren't the cleanest but had own sheets so wasn't a massive issue.

We only stayed one night so I can't really speak much to the character of the place, but here are some of the things that stood out to me: the staff is friendly and the location is good (even if it's in a tiny alley...if you check in at night and think the directions seem sketchy, you are going to the right place!), and the free wifi and breakfast is a nice perk. My biggest problem was that the room was really hot with only one fan and one outlet. Oh well, I guess that's Barcelona for you!
