I've been traveling for 19 months and Kabul is definitely one of the best hostels I stayed. I do recommend this place to everyone who has the backpacker way of traveling. If you are looking for a quiet place to sleep, this is not here.

The hostel is great for young people and ppl traveling by themselves. The best thing is that breakfast, lunch and diner are included! The bad thing is that there are no plugs in the rooms, AT ALL! You have to go to the lounge if you wanna charge anything, so.. BRING YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES FULLY CHARGED! Despite of that, my stay was great!

Excellent stay in Kabul! the only flaws: rooms are poorly lit and the policy about not having sockets in the room is not good, there should be sockets next to each bed, that's how it works perfectly in other hostels.

Had a great time, was a bit cold in the dorms at night, but I find this typical of the region/season. Definitely a good party hostel!

Great hostel with lots of activities organised. It is VERY noisy at night to bring earplugs if you want to get some sleep!

We had a great stay at Kabul hostel ! The location is amazing, placa del real really cloth to the ramblas. There is a free diner which is cool cause there is no kitchen. This is definitely a party hostel !! If you wanna party in barcelona all night long and meet people this is the place to stay.

A really good place to live the party. If you are looking for a place to take a rest, this is not place. If you are looking a place to meet people, have fun and live the party I cannot imagine a better hostel than this. The location is excellent. And the staff is always available to help you.

If you want to party, you definitely should go there. There´s a bar inside, they take the people to the clubs and everybody is in the mood of drink and party in Barcelona. The locker is great, but the room not so much. There´s no plugs in the rooms and it´s always noisy. It´s a place to party!

I had the most fun I have ever had on a trip at Kabul. The staff are funny and always making sure everyone is having a good time and included in the activities. If you are boring and don't drink...stay out of this hostel. Beware the 20 bed room is for professionals only. Ladies plan on having the pick of the litter here because it's a sausage fest!

It was a good experience. However, I was surprised by one thing. What about the charging point for mobile phone, mp3 players and laptops. We come from abroad, so it is obvious we bring some things along, right? Probably, there could be a socket (hole) going through the locker for charging in the room itself. This is a BIG DRAWBACK. Other than this, I think it is good value for money, keeping in mind that (amazing) breakfast and dinner (something) is provided! Graci'as!

I spent four days at Kabul solo, two days before meeting up with family and two days after. It is by no means luxurious, but it was an amazing experience and I would absolutely go back. It was full of young travelers looking to hang out with other people. I was never without friends to explore the city, get some food, or go out at night.

This hostel was crazy-good value for money; free breakfast and free dinner all for £5 a night. Stayed in a 24 bed dorm and the only complaint was that maybe it was a bit too squashed because I couldn't stand in the aisle next to my bed at the same time as the person opposite me. Asides from this, everything was perfect. The free club entry was amazing as well, and it was so good that something different was organised every night. Some of the staff were a bit moody.

Absolutely horrible. I will never go back. The staff were rude and didn´t seem interested to have people at their hostel. I am a low maintenance guest, and have stayed at my fare share of hostels. This was the worst.
