It was a small safe location and family friendly. Very clean and easy to walk around since everything is very accessible. There was a weird musty smell from the restroom when the ventilation was off. Overall, it was a nice, safe and clean place.

Overall, good stay for 3 people. Very close to metro, and walking distance to many sights. Can store luggage at the reception, however reception staff do not speak English. Hot water was very inconsistent which meant we could not have a warm shower. Also the drain was partially blocked so the shower would flood unless the water pressure was very low. Room was noisy throughout stay, with noise coming from upstairs.

Excellent location. Lots of local restaurants. There is a Street full of tapas bars almost right next to the hostel. Great place for what I paid. Able to walk to everything including train station, bus to airport, beach area, old quarter, even the castle up the hill.

Cheap and clean room
The room was small but very clean! Shower was hot and strong enough. Good place to visit sightseeing spots. Very reasonable price. Maybe minimum price for one room hostel in Barcelona. Negative points: the wall between next room was very thin. You can hear voices from next room. There was a strong smell of chlorine from the disinfection to prevent covid at the first day of my stay.

AMAZING STAY IN BUDGET
Great location, pocket friendly stay with supermarket just below the stay. The receptionist was really helpful even though she could not speak english fluent, she always found an amazing way to communicate with us. We had a train at 10 PM and checkout was 12 noon, they also allowed us to keep our luggage for free.

It is a nice, clean hostel right across from the metro. Exceptionally clean and safe. Having said that its no Ritz-Carlton. It was adequate for sleeping one night. I don't think I would have been happy staying here for a longer duration.

Fairly basic room but acceptable and clean. It was nice to have tea/coffee/fridge/microwave facilities available for use. Its a very central location, right by tube and bus stop, which really is the only justification for the relatively high price. Staff were friendly and welcoming to us.

A hidden hotel, almost hard to find, but extremely well located a few steps away from a subway station that connects easily to anywhere in Barcelona. But as a consequence it is located on a busy street on the first (second for north americans) floor and as a consequence is quite noisy all night, forget sleeping with an open window, even when the air conditionning refuse to work and nobody at the reception can figure out how to make it work. A small common area is provided with some snacking options, but you have a choice of multiple delicious bakeries and cofee shops just outside, so why bother. The room (the exact same one as the picture) was clean, with a nice size bathroom, but not much space in the room itself. The bedding is extremely firm, and tranfer movement easily from one side of the bed to the other. Air conditionning, when working, is helpful to sleep during Barcelona nights. Be sure that you have the remote control when moving in. All that said the staff was always very helpful and we always managed to communicate in spite of their limited english, and my own limited spanish and absent catalan.

Correct pour les court séjours
L’emplacement est très bien tout près d’un métro facile d’accès de l’aéroport et pour se rendre aux endroits touristiques. Le personnel est très gentil, toujours un beau sourire et sont serviable. La chambre est petite et désuète. La douche coule dans la salle de bain et le lit est comme une roche mais c’était très propre et pour le prix c’était correct considérant que c’était pour 2 nuits seulement.
