Great hostel, with good and confortable facilities... The staff is extremely helpful! The location is good, near two metro stations covering all the important lines.

I really liked this hostel, especially because I met many great people. It was different from all the other hostels I stayed in before, it had a really friendly and open atmosphere. The staff is excellent!

I've stayed at a lot of hostels and the staff here were the friendliest and most helpful I've come across. They help create a welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to meet people. The location is great. It's right near the subway and is walking distance from the city centre. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this hostel!

Honestly, this is the best hostel I have stayed in anywhere in Europe. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. Its great for solo travelers and groups. The staff do a great job of facilitating interactions between different groups of travelers (meaning, they help you make friends). Its super chill and relaxed, very clean. Its kind of like staying in a home, but way better. They give tons of information about places to go, what to see, how to get there. Stay at Mambo Tango, they're great!

I enjoyed my stay. Nice atmosphere, helpful staff, close to Rambla, the sea :-) The only problem was a very small kitchen and cooking facilities.

I loved this hostel! I've stayed in so many hostels before and I can safely say this has been the best. It was very cheap because I stayed there in the winter, but the cold weather didn't stop the lively atmosphere. The staff are EXCELLENT! They make you feel at home straight away and I felt like I had become friends with them by the time I departed. A very clean and comfortable hostel where you felt at home and at ease. Highly recommended!

Had a great time at Mambo Tango! The staff were friendly and funny, I met some great people, and the facilities were good. And the staff has great taste in music. If you are social - and even if you're not - Mambo Tango was a great place to meet people. I will make sure to stay there next time I'm in Barcelona!

Best hostel I have ever stayed at. AMAZING staff, so friendly and welcoming. The hostel was clean and offered cheap drinks, free sangria on some nights, free wifi, free hairdryers... Really, the best thing was the friendly atmosphere. They really make it feel like home.

One of the best Riad personal and friendly staff. Room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Hostel was welcoming, safe and relaxed. Located just off the Djemaa el Fna square Riad Fantasia is positioned ideally to soak up the architecture, art and ambience of Marrakech. Breakfast served everyday, free internet services as well as organised tours and local recommendations. Try out Riad Fantasia and see Marrakech for a real taste of travel. Thanks again to the Staff

Beautifully designed hostel, very nice and cool stuff, totally clean and I was surpriced how calm it was at night in the sleeping rooms. Even the party people where very respectfull and calm when they came back from the fiestas at night. I didn't wake up. This Hostel has a very good energy. There is only one Minus: The showers have no flexible shower heads, means: the water comes only from up and this is a problem for the girls if they really want to become clean.

One of the best hostel experiences I've had in quite awhile. Daniel and Igor were absolutely the best. They make you feel at home right away, and make sure you make the most of your time in Barcelona. I would HIGHLY recommend Mambo Tango to anyone looking to enjoy themselves in Barça!

It is a wonderful place for students to stay. The stuff is very helpful. The atmosphere of this hostel makes you fill home and not in hostel. Good location... very easy to find even if you are first time in Barcelona. I highly recommend everyone to stay in this hostel

This was a great hostel in a great location. The staff were incredibly fun and helpful. They are always around and always helpful. They have plenty of amenities (printer, computers, maps, towels, showers, bathrooms, etc.) The place was clean and warm with nice lockers to keep your stuff in. Great hostel!

The beds looked like the children's bunkbeds from Ikea... otherwise, can't say much else. location wise, I got pickpocketed but that's pretty common in Barcelona, I hear.

the staff at the hostel were truly wonderful and deserve a commendation on thier character and helpfulnes, they made our stay truly great and i would not stay anywhere else in Barcelona thanks to them. The decor was good and the rooms nice enough, the only criticism i have is that the internet was temperamental and slow.

I have travelled a good amount & stayed in endless hostels, the 2 things that stand out most about this hostel are the AMAZING staff & the cleanliness! The staff are very helpful & friendly and will do almot anything to help you. Cleanliness wise the place is spotless! including the bathrooms/bedrooms (everytime I put something in the bin it was empied!) The only downside - the kitchen could have a few more bits in it, also be careful of Barcelons'a pickpockets late at night/early morning!

I stayed in an 8 bed mixed room. It was a nice hostel and had good facilities. Unfortunately, some of the people in the room never locked the door (and usually never closed it, as it was wide open many times with no one inside). Make sure you keep your valuables locked or with you at all times, just in case.
