Nice staff and hostel, use whatsapp

The hostel was clean and felt fresh. The staff was super friendly and really sweet. One problem was the communication before the trip, it took long for them to answer on the hotels app and email. However, they did answer pretty quick on whatsapp, so would definitely recommend whatsapp.

A great hostal

I enjoyed my time at this hostal. Friendly and helpful reception, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, no street noise and effective air conditioning. The location was great for exploring Barcelona - close to metro and bus stops.

Great place for a short stay.

Great place for a short stay. Very clean, close to everything. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The beds were relatively comfortable. The choice of pillows was not that great, but that can be a personal preference.
