Kabul Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Great value for the money, the location is perfect if you are young and wanting to party. Right next to the Rambla and the Gothic Town of Barcelona, Kabul Hostal is a great place to go. They offer all three meals all for the same price that most other hostels only offer breakfast. There is one caveat though, there are no electric plugs in the room, security reasons they quote as the reason why, but it makes it complicated as you have to go to the lounge to charge your devices. It's awesome tho

Second time in Kabul, excelent hostel!

I have not been to a hostel like this before, the common facilities are restricted at 130 am and people are kind of forced out into the street or bed. It feels like the bar dominates the evenings and with younger drinkers this is not always a happy ending. There is no kitchen but some food is provided during the day and evening. Breakfast was never fully out when I was there, something was always missing. Beds and bathrooms are minimalistic. One nice thing is the water conservation fixtures

No power outlets in the rooms but otherwise this is the best and most fun hostel we've stayed at by a mile. Don't even consider staying elsewhere!

I understand Kabul is a party hostel but if you choose to take a night off and expect to get any sleep, you're crazy. The party crowd comes back from the bar and the only quiet time is mid-day when people are out or sleeping.

Amazing place to stay, people are very nice and it's a really organized and cool place to stay, meet people and hang out. They offer food, they have a bar and organized night out, nice place to have fun. Super recomended!

Party hostel with excellent location.

Great hostel if you don't mind partying 24/7. Food included and its great location makes it one of the best hostels around Barcelona.

No complaints at all, fantastic hostel. Highly recommend it. Friendly staff, clean, fun atmosphere, great location and fantastic value for money.

I stayed at Kabul Backpackers for 5 days with 3 friends in a 4 person room. The room was TINY - only about six feet wide and the length of the 2 beds. The room was also incredibly warm, even with an open window. The desk staff weren't overly friendly or helpful, though the bar staff was fantastic. Hostel has thin walls, which made sleeping well impossible. Fantastic location - I wouldn't have wanted to stay anywhere else! I'd stay at Kabul again, but I've definitely been to better, nicer hostels for

It is located in a prime location, inside a courtyard right off Las Ramblas. We stayed in a 4 person room, and it was extremely small, no room for bags or walking around. Our window faced what looked like an outdoor shaft with other windows. Every night we could hear people through the walls even if they weren't trying to be loud. The beds are small, I am 5'11 and I couldn't fit. The bed linen and blanket were old and there wasn't much left of the pillow. There are no outlets in the rooms either

Overall the hostel was ok however I have never experienced staff who were as unfriendly and unhelpful as theirs. You have to pay extra to store your bag in the luggage room for the day and it feels like it is a major inconvinence for the staff. I would not stay there just because of our experience with the staff.

there were a lot more people above the age of 40 than i expected...

Great party hostel but could be cleaned more regularly through out the day. Also having staff that seeks English when checking in would of been nice.

A bit commercial and the location is overwhelmingly touristy, but it's a fun place for a party stop

This hostel is a PARTY hostel, if you are traveling alone and like to get some sleep DONT go here, go to New York hostel. If you are young and have friends to party with then this hostel is for u. They have free breakfast and dinner. It's a bit of a walk to the beach but it's not bad (~25mins?). New York hostel is closer to the beach. Be careful, wierdos everywhere especially at night on la rambla.

Great location and good for a lot of partying. Staff sucked though - they weren't helpful or apologetic when there were problems with keys/lockers/etc. Also be careful of things being stolen

Me and my friends had a great time at Kabul. It was super easy to meet new friends. The location is great. The two meals per day were not only awesomely delicious, but also for free! It is a great hostel if you want to party, sightsee, or just chill in Barcelona for a cheep 20 eur/ night. The only downside i can think of is that there were no electrical sockets in the rooms, that really annoyed me!

pros: breakfast, lunch and dinner included, good mattress, silent bunk, good location, good pub crawl but i don't think it worth 10 euros without any drink included and any discount, good tips of where to go in the city, good bar, easy to make new friends. con: very rude tour guide cursing the guests, every time drunk people making noise during the entire night, they take you to bad nightclubs, really sh!t music on the common area during the entire night (only hip-hop and dubstep).

I had the most fantastic time at Kabul Hostel, lots of friendly travellers to meet, great location and fantastic drinks prices! (Beware the mojitos, they're ridiculously strong). Special shout out to the gorgeous Brian, one of the members of staff, who told a friend and I about a great pretzel shop. I promised him a mention in the review :) Only thing not so great is lack of sockets in the dorms, but can securely charge phones etc behind reception.
