Bathrooms were very dirty and every possible extras had to be paid (including the locker for leaving your luggage after checkout). I would not recommend this hostel to a friend.

Great location and clean facilities. Dorm rooms have beds with curtains and own reading light and power point which is great. No problems with the staff. Would stay here again.

There was no noise control in the public lobby. Many hostel visitors made very obnoxious noises by playing beer pong very late at night.

We only stayed one night but it was clean and nice. I loved that each bed had a privacy curtain so you could sleep without getting woken up from the light being on. I would definitely stay there again

Thank you so much for your awesome rating!!! The curtains around the bunk-beds make it easier to catch your beauty-sleep, no?! ;). We hope to see you again one day!!!

Great hostel. Staff was maybe not as professional as could be and the bathrooms were kind of dirty during the morning rush, both things are totally understandable and wouldn't deter me from staying there again. Location is close to a subway and Las Ramblas. Would recommend.

I've stayed at the St. Christopher's in Berlin, Amsterdam, & Paris, so the facilities & atmosphere were similar; however, just the like the rest, I don't like that you have to pay to store luggage. It was right off Placa Catalunya, which is the starting point of Las Ramblas. Staff were OK, bathrooms could be cleaner, good food. My friend didn't like how loud it was in the room, but in most cases, you never know what kinds of roommates you'll get. Good overall experience

The Hostel is in a very good location, because is very close to placa de catalunya. The rooms are very clean, but a little bit muggy. I was there at the beginning of May and i think the air conditioning wasn't already switched on. The price was very cheap, considering also that the breakfast was included. Furthermore the hostel has a pub with some interesting promotions on drinks at some time bands....anyway not so interesting as in some pub in Barcelona... I had a very good stay!

Good hostel but for the sake of the size I had to pay to keep my luggage when i arrived before the check in time and there is no kitchen we can use so I had difficulty to cook because my budget was tight. And also they put many beds in one room so I felt uncomfortable a bit.

Great hostel, lots of fun, very clean and fantastic food and drink deals in the bar! Would stay there again when in Barcelona!

Uncomfortable rooms and beds, very noisy, very expensive to the poor service they provide, poor breakfast. They do not have pub crawls. Bathrooms are not well cleaned. Automatic lights and showers should be programmed to be on for longer time.

The rooms and facilities were really clean. Curtains around the beds provide a lot of privacy and personal power outlets are great. Yet our reservation got messed up, so we had to stay in different rooms. Staff tried their best to solve the issue, but didn't succeed. Also staff was not very helpful in terms of recommendations for local places etc. Atmosphere was good, but not very personal - it is a huge place. Breakfast was better than expected. Would stay there again!

Great place, very clean and modern. I loved the beds and the curtain/light fixture for every bed. The swipe card system was great for security and very easy to use. The check-in line took far too long, i think they should have a third person working during peak check-in hours to speed that up. It was hard to ask questions/get help when the lines were so long. But great value for the money, loved the location at Las Ramblas and would've enjoyed staying longer. The free breakfast was also great.

great location, good place for meeting other people. But if you want to find to quite quiet place to sleep, hotel is better choice.

Great location and some of the staff were lovely. I primarily booked this hostel as it was supposed to have a kitchen. It had 2 microwaves and a kettle. It wasn't user friendly. Was also very disappointed in the security. Twice during our last night someone (not staying in our dorm ) was able to access our room. The staff member I told didn't care. Also the large window in the room did not close.

Very nice place to stay! Awesome value for money! I will return to your hostels chain! PS: only the breakfast item, sometimes the missing item took to long to be replaced, it could be faster.

Thank you for your awesome rating! Also our other hostels are right in the center and have good deals, so certainly see you back again! Sorry you had to wait a little at breakfast time; at rush-hour it's difficult for our staff to fill your hungry bellies fast enough! We hope you didn't leave hungry ;)
