Kabul Backpackers Hostel Reviews

The location of the hostel was great and the common areas inside were awesome. Some of the bathrooms are nicer than others and the mens bathroom was closed on our floor so men were walking in randomly...kinda wierd.

A good place to stay if you're looking to party. Otherwise, the atmosphere is a bit overwhelming at times.

Kabul is an awesome hostel. Stay there if you want to party and go out with a bunch of young people that want to do the same. The routine is, meet people durin happy hour at Kabul, then go out and party in Barcelona with your new friends. Kabul also gets you access to cool clubs w/o cover charge. If you like to have fun, stay here.

If you want a U.S frat house in Barcelona this your place. Dont expect a deep cultural experince, you will mostly meet people who wake up only in time to hit the clubs. Yet, the location is perfect, right on Las Ramblas.

What I liked about Kabul is the party atmosphere. Overall my experience was fun however the Kabul hostel was a great disappointment. I lost my key (15 euro deposit is too much!!) on a night out and wished to check out when I returned to the hostel around 7am. A member of staff was incredibly rude and unhelpful which when I needed to catch a train was very stressful. I also disliked not being able to drink my own alcohol in the bar. There is too much hype over this hostel.

One of the most famous hostels in Europe, and its got a why: wonderful place! Chilling atmosphere, amazing location and good price!! Perfect to meet people and hang out!!

The hostel was very good, such a good location and atmosphere. The only thing was some of the bedsheets were stained. had a wonderful time and would definitely go back.

I couldn't believe a hostel would live up to its high reviews, but this DID! We chose it because it was super cheap for it's location (near the sea end of the Rambla). The environment is how every hostel should be! It's multi-story with a funky vibe and a great common area. Free dinner and free breakfast, luggage storage, clean rooms, friendly staff & cleaning ladies! Only downer was my locker stopped working and it's impossible to maintain bathrooms 100% clean in such a busy place. STAY!!!

great young and fun environment- friendly staff is key as well

Had an awesome time every night. If your looking for a party hostel in Barcelona this is it

Not clean, the room smelled very bad, and the bad was dirty.Very loud. The only good thing was the location and the security.

The hostel was in a great location, reasonabley priced and a very fun place to be, we had a great trip here. The only thing that let it down was the very small room size and the fact that several in our party returned home with a substantial amount of Bed Bug bites, therefore this was very disappointing as the conditions of the room let this hostel down.

The hostel has 2 main advantages which are the location and the common area, which estimulates people to interact with each other. However, the staff is very unfriendly and doesn't seem to care to anything but have fun themselves. In any moment one person from the staff tried to help in anything but go to parties. The cleaning is also not so good, but only acceptable and the rooms certainlz should have more light and be larger.

Been in at least 10 hostels in the last year and that definitely the best one!! Yes, it is a party hostel, deeply! But it gets quiet at 2 in the morning until the check out time around 10-11 in the morning. If your drunk, which you have to be in Barcelona EVERY NIGHT, you will get a wonderful sleep! If you don't, then finish your night on the beach ;) There is an epic bar in the hostel with quite cheap beer and an outside party is organised every night. Don't think more, just book!

I didn't like that there wasn't really a lounge/common room for people who didn't want to be immersed by the loud bar environment. I recognise it is pitched as a party hostel in a party town, but everyone should be able to have a night off!! No electrical outlets in the dorms for security reasons - I get the principle but was a pain in the ass. Some really unfriendly staff. Limited kitchen hours - very peculiar! Awesome location, decent breakfast, wi-fi, free common use computers.

The hostel was very central but the area felt a bit unsafe at night when coming back from clubs. The staff behind reception were not very personable, probably because the hostel is just so big and they see so many people. But when one of my friends got mugged on a night out the reception guy wouldnt even let him use the phone to contact his bank. And it is a bit annoying that there are no plug sockets anywhere and you have to hand your charger and phone in at reception to charge for you.

I spent 3 nights in Kabul and i really enjoyed my stay! it's clean, they have good atmosphere and they organize a lot of parties for the people staying in Kabul, i really recommend :)

Kabul is a nice party-hostel but also chill if you just want a place to meet people with good energy! I like the nice down-stairs lounge and dinner-area! The free dinner was good and the security is really good! The roof-top terass is unbeatable! Only cons are somewhat dirty showers and a so-so interested / friendly staff!

I went over there with a friend and.. Omg that hostel is awesome! The only negative point is: too hot in the room! But otherwise that place is amazing! Kind ppl Nice persons, things to do everyday! And cheap prices for the location!! No hesitations.. GO OVER THERE

Very fun hostel. In the most beautiful/safe plaza in the city. I did think it was weird that every night at 1:45 they shut down the bar and all that staff goes out to the clubs. Even though the bar is jumpin, everyone is having fun, they close it down every night so they can go out to the club. It sucks cuz once they shut down the first floor there is no where to drink but the plaza...
