Great location, great prices and they offer lots of benefits in the city, specially for night clubs! But at the same time it is a hostel for people who want to party all the time, it is really difficult sleeping there, especially if you're staying in the 20 person's room. But overall it was a great time spended.

In a sense the hostel never slept. If you're looking for a good night sleep and some peace and quite, this probably isn't the hostel for you. If you're looking for a good time, to meet new interesting people, or to party, this is the hostel that I would recommend.

It advertises free food but does not supply enough so many ppl don't get any. Also bed lights would be a big plus & going out before 2am to the bars would be better. Other than that it was good.

Although my holistic experience there was really good, at times i found the toilets really dirty.

Nice cheap hostel if you want to stay (and party) in the center, very close to Las Rambla. If you are not in Barcelona to party but actually see something of the city, this isn't the best hostel. Lots of people who will wake you up in the middle of the night. The breakfast is okay. There isn't a kitchen, but they do make you free diner. sounds nice, except they only make enough for 25 people, so you have to be abnormally early to stand in a waiting-line. Beds aren't the best in the world.

The hostel was great fun, but we didn't get any sleep at all. The people coming in and out of the room at all hours is ok, it's just that they had no respect for the people sleeping. What I would suggest: lookers that don't make as much noise, lights that automatically turns off after a certain time, key that works ALL THE TIME when you try to open the door of your room.. You guys can do better! In the end, we had to change hostel. We got sick (fever and all) because of the lack of sleep.

Wifi didn't work a single day a stayed there ... they didnt do much about it, apparently it happens all the time. A good hostel for partying, they have pub crawl every night! If you want to rest, dont stay here!

- Wasn't too impressed by the tour guide smoking as he was giving the tour, the rest of the staff were good - I appreciate it is a youth hostel, but maybe having rooms for those who don't wish to go out until 5-6 in the morning who would appreciate being able to sleep through the night wouldn't be a bad idea.

I was unsure what to expect, but of all the hotels I have visited, this is by far my favourite!

Loved the super friendly staff, amazing tours to the best places to go out in Barcelona at night and a free breakfast +meal in the evenings. What more could one wish for? Minus points were that because of that same party atmosphere it's hard to get some sleep.

Kabul was a horrible let down. Let me get to the facts. The facilities aren't all that great, you can't rent towels, you only get internet for 20 mins a day. All the other hostels i had stayed at previously had wifi that one could use for free any time. Finally my biggest complaint. The staff is sooo bad. They are all in a bad mood all day. They are not very helpful in suggesting places to go or people to see. It really messes up the experience when the staff act like a bunch of jerks.

la verdad la pasamos muy mal porque a mi companera de viaje le robaron toda la plata de adentro del locker, que supuestamente te dan para dejar tus cosas. la respuesta del hostel fue muy mala y muy agresiva. no fue la unica a la que le robaron una pena, porque hay lindo ambiente entre la gente que va. la comida es muy mala tanto el desayuno como la cena gratis.
