It was not that cheap considering other cheap hostels in barcelona, but it was worth it. It's definitely the best hostel i've ever been with extremely comfortable facilities. I didnt like that i had to pay to store the lugguage and to use the computer, but i'd like to recommend the place to stay.

Staff was very friendly and helpful, location very good for us. I traveled with two friends and we stayed in a 12 people mixed room. The room was not full and we didn't have problems even 12 person in a same room is quite a lot. Breakfast was really good as far as considering what it included, but if you went there around 10, you may needed to wait a lot. Also for as breakfast and check out times could've been an hour later.. :)

If you just need a bed in a clean place with a good breakfast, and in a great central location this is for you. But don't expect any social atmosphere nor particularly warm staff. Very good value for the money.

Not good for a party atmosphere or if you're traveling without friends. Other hostels in the area are better at VIP parties. Otherwise it's cheap and provides breakfast.

Very new, extremely close to the centre and metro station. Nobody seemed to clean the room during my 5-days stay so the floor got quite dusty. I like the breakfast because the staff refilled frequently anything that ran low in supply. That did not happen in St.Christopher's Paris. Maybe it's low season, but I'd rather like to credit the pleasant experience to the staff.

Pros: great location, near La Rambla; the bar is great, nice music, good deals on drinks and foods. Cons: you have to pay for lockers; breakfast is continental, dishes are all dirty; staff is most of the time with a bad mood and don't really try to help you.

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed. Great location, extremely close to Plaza Catalunya and the biggest street in town ( Ramblas), very clean rooms and bathrooms. Also has a great staff and an excelent breakfast, besides the price is amazing! Would definitely recomend for everyone that want to go to Barcelona!

I really liked how the beds had their own curtain so you had privacy and I also enjoyed that the locker was one that slid in and out from under the bed.

The staff was very nice and very helpful. I found it a little annoying that I had to pay to use the public computers. I loved that each bed has a curtain to block out the lights in the room. That's genius! Best night's sleep I've had in a hostel yet!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your opinion. We're glad you enjoyed your stay with us and had a good nights sleep, not so common in hostels usually :) Sorry about the computers but we do provide free wifi! Hope to see you next time! St. Christopher's Team

AMAZING location! AMAZING price! Clean and has GREAT facilities (individual light, individual plugging place) Breakfast includes a fruit. The two downsides are 1) baggage lockers are quite pricy 2)breakfast is not prepared at the start of the breakfast time. The staff seems to start preparing from the suggested breakfast time. Still, very very recommendable.

Hello and thank you so much for rating us so highly! We do appreciate it. I'm sorry you found the lockers expensive, however they are insured and there's no safer place to leave your luggage in Barcelona! :) Regarding the breakfast our staff starts preparing it at 7am so it should be all set up by 7.30. I'm sorry if it wasn't the case when you were here, we'll have a look into it. Thanks again for taking the time to leave us your opinion and hope to see you again soon! Kind regards, St. Christopher's Team

The hostel's location is unbeatable..right in the heart of Barcelona. The staff were really friendly and the facilities were excellent. The breakfast was really great with quite a selection. The value for money in this hostel is also great. The only thing that I could maybe contrustuctively criticize would be that the bathrooms could have been cleaned a little bit more. Otherwise, everything was great! I would definitely recommend it and would definitely return :)

No kitchen. Great breakfast. Nice atmosphere at the bar. Hassle with checking out and so: extending the stay should be easier

Thank you for your additional comments - we really do use these to try and improve our offer for you. We do provide a microwave for our guests and 25% discount in Belushi's on all food as we know that when we travel on a budget, we need to get the most for our money. We are really sorry that extending your stay was complicated as we genuinely don't like people leaving !! We will be looking into our systems to see how we can simplify this. Hopefully you will be able to vist us again soon and experience the changes.
