The facilities are good and new except the shower. Besides, it will be better if there is a small table for everyone to put some stuff on it.

I felt the staff were not very friendly or helpful. 2 out of my 3 showers were stone cold and the lights in the shower and toilets were very touchy and always going out, even though they were motioned censored. Location was brilliant and i like the fact you got 25% off food in restaurant. If I was going back to Barcelona I would consider staying there again, but only if I couldn't find somewhere else with such a good location.

The atmosphere was very cool and relaxed. It felt very comfortable staying there, almost a homey vibe. The food and drinks were excellent and the prices were beyond fair especially with the discount. The staff was very friendly. Definitely will stay with them again.

It was amazing! perfectly located!! right next to La Rambla and within walking distance of everything else we wanted to see besides Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, but the staff told us how to get there easily with no trouble! I would definitely recommend it to anyone (:

Although with the reviews here I knew what I was getting into, it was still pretty crummy. Very American clientele, very corporate decorations, mediocre breakfast, and pay-by-the-minute computer usage. However, the rooms were clean and restrooms were too.

St. Christophers was great - love the blinds on the bunk beds! It was a little difficult finding people who wanted to socialize - seemed like a lot of people came with larger groups. Not a small hostel filled with character, but a good place to stay. Most of the staff was friendly - just be careful. There's one girl who works nights and another who works breakfast - they'll basically call you an idiot if you ask any question whatsoever. Besides those two, everyone's nice.

The hostel is really good, amazing location, confortable beds, really nice bar and great staff. I would suggest the hostel to provide a fridge for the guests and a microwave....is always necessary so you.dont need to always go out to eat...the breakfast could be better too. The rooms are quiet and the bar has really good drinks and music.

Hello and thank you so much for leaving us your review! We do have a microwave for our guests to use on the 1st floor common room, so sorry you weren't made aware of it. Regarding the fridge, considering the size of our hostel (we have over 400 beds!) it would be very hard to manage so many people using a fridge, which is why we don't have one. Thanks again and hope to see you again in the future! St. Christopher's Team

Spoons and dishes could be cleaner in the breakfast time.

Perfect! Very central, yet not too noisy, easy to get to (airport bus just 2 min away), a beautiful old but renovated building, clean, beds with your own lamp, plug and curtain for some privacy, key cards, so everyone can only get into their own rooms, very helpful and nice staff, relaxed atmosphere, free wifi and breakfast. This must sound like I'm paid for my review, but it's yet another excellent St. Christopher's hostel! Go to the one in Paris as well, it's the best you can get.

Hello and thanks for taking the time to leave us your comments - we do use this to improve the service to our guests. We did have a problem with the hot water while you were staying here, we're really sorry about that, we took care of the problem straight away though and it was fixed by the end of the day. Regarding your problem with the light basically our rooms have a small light that turns on and off automatically whenever someone enters the room and this is only to avoid that guests keep turning on the main light late at night and bothering other guests. We'll have a look into it though, maybe we can make it turn off more quickly. We're very sorry that this ruined your stay with us, if you do decide to stay with us again we'll do our best to make it up to you :) Safe travels, St. Christopher's Team

It was one of the best hostels I've stayed in this journey! It is so easy to find, they give you a keycard and the security will be good. The problem was that when I stayed there, the shower room and toilet had problem. There was no hot water one day, so I couldn't take a shower in that cold weather.

The hostel is fairly good, the beds are clean and comfortable. But the bathroom gets a bit dirty since there are so many people using it. The bed is cheap, but they try to charge you for everything! I paid €5 just to use a locker for a couple of hours, because the machine doesn't give change, and it costs to weigh your bag. And there were no kitchen facilities to encourage you to eat in their restaurant. The included breakfast was very good though. Overall. It was ok.

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your comments! I'm sorry if the bathrooms weren't clean enough during your stay, we do clean them several times during the day but we'll have a look into it and see what we can do to improve :) Regarding the lockers it states clearly on them that it does not give change and you can always get change from reception or bar. The scale to weigh your bag is just an extra we offer and doesn't belong to us but to another company. And yes, it's true we don't have a kitchen as it's stated on the website but we have a microwave and a kettle and you get 25% discount on all food in Belushis, meaning you can get a massive burger with fries and salad for only 6€! It's not a bad deal ;) We hope this didn't ruin your stay with us and hope to see you again in the future! St. Christopher's Team

Perfect Location! Very thoughtful for every possible detail(ex. clapboard for toilet requisites or dry clothes in each washing room) Suggestion: for the free breakfast we need hot milk sometimes..
