We liked almost every thing, except that it seems there was a maintenence job right outside our room that stopped around 1.30 am. Made really difficult to sleep for 2 nights. Also, we didnt find shampoo or soap in the shower (we normally find it in all hostals). Finally, the dinner was only pizza, no more options in the menu. Otll be great to have more options. Other than that, the place is great.

Cute hostel, a bit out of the way of Barcelona but on a direct line which is easy. In a pretty area with lots of green which is refreshing after being in a big city.

it was a pretty decent one night stay, it was about a 7 minute walk from the train station which was convenient. however getting up the steep hills with suitcases was exhausting. it’s also kinda sketch at night since it’s near wildlife/forests. so when we came back from the main part of barcelona we saw a boar which was kinda scary but it’s fine. we get provided towels and thin sheets as blankets which were fine for one night, but if i were to stay there longer it wouldn’t be ideal. our room and bathroom were clean, the “ac” was a fan that took a little to cool the room but wasn’t bad. we also only had 1 night so we couldn’t really explore the rest of the property such as the pool and the dining/restaurant area but i’m sure if we got the chance it would’ve been decent. the front desk guy also spoke good english and was very helpful. mid stay ngl

The staff forgot that we ordered lunch so we have sime difficulties because son is celiac and then afterwards they wanted to charge us more than it was agreed. At the pool there was very noisy and crowdy - full of disabled children (I don’t have nothing against them but some of them were very loud and some did their big toilet needs just in the pool, so it was not apropriate to swim there). It is quite an uphill walk from the trainstation to the hostel, especially if you have luggage.

Economical for a price
I checked in quite late and the woman checking people in was quite overwhelmed. She was managing the cafeteria as well as check-ins, which is truly a 2 person job. The location was lovely, although there’s nothing nearby. You have to walk up a steep hill to arrive that’s about 12 min walking from the train station. I shared a room with some of my colleagues for our masters course. It was fairly clean, but there was an awful smell that came from the bathroom and every time we showered the bathroom flooded. I probably won’t stay there again but it was cheap so it was fine for the occasion.

Pleasant time spent during my stay with freindly staff and most could communicate in English which was usefull. Hard work commuting via the train station as very steep hill getting to the hostel. Difficult with luggage. But enjoyable stay. Food was of a good standard but didnt like donught and sandwich as a choice fot breakfast.

Thank you so much for your stay Barry. Tain station is 10 minutes walking form our hostel. We are in a Natural Park so there is a 10 minutes walking hill. We hope to see you back soon.

Not bad - be mindful of the hill!
The rooms were clean, but the walk up the hill was exhausting! Especially with luggage. Be prepared to spend 10 minutes walking up a somewhat steep hill. There’s also no AC, so if you go during warmer months it will be hot. Otherwise, it’s very clean and we had no issues with the staff. Free parking is a plus too

Idyllic hostel surrounded by nature
It was my first time staying at a hostel, so I have no idea how it compared with similar structures. The location is idyllic, set as it is in the hills/mountains outside Barcelona. It's relatively easy to get to because there's a train/metro station right below the hostel. Getting to the hostel from the train, however, is a trek up a long, steep hill, so it may not be for everyone. The rooms themselves seemed decent. Some have wooden bunk beds with lockers incorporated, which were very comfortable. Other rooms had metal beds, which seemed a little bit less comfortable. I went in July, so it was pretty hot and the only air conditioning I saw was in the reception area. My room had ceiling fans and the temperature at night was bearable. The majority of the staff had special needs, which is a commendable enterprise. They were friendly and hard-working. The bathroom facilities were suitable and clean. The pool was great, well-maintained, clean and surrounded by nature. It also has a wheelchair ramp, which is awesome. On the whole, this place is lovely and I enjoyed my stay very much. Watch out for the wild boar who roams the structure!

the hostel is the best hostel i ever seen. very big compound very whitish clean,the hostel have big space for any one to enjoy with out disturbing one another and relax up to what ever time he wanted, the bed room is very clean with big space and clean air. the rent is very reasonable . as the hotel is in the mountain its a bit far from the train station and climbing is a problem especially for elder people, beter if the hostel find means of transportation. some of the staffs are not cooperative to print my boarding pass the language is a bit difficult to understand.

Ended up only staying one night. It was too far from any train or bus. We had to walk uphill and back down just for change for washing machine ( one washer/dryer for entire hostel). Towels and sheets had to be rented, the prison showers delivered either freezing or scalding water, other guests had on very loud club music until 2 a.m. Some guests had such bad hygiene that we lost our appetites during breakfast.

It is what it is cheap and cheap
Had a great time in Barcelona first time in a hostel so didn’t know what to expect it was very cheap but I personally needed a bit more comfort. Didn’t see a pool like in pictures. The hotel restaurant staff were hilarious in a basil faulty kind of way quite angry to serve you anything and talked to themselves funny experience and for 12.50 a night can’t complain

Close to train
Nice hotel with nice staff. Free breakfast was great, very close to train station which was CONVENIENT. Only downs were we had some ants in the room, it was a hike to get up there, and WiFi only in the reception area. But when in Barcelona, you end up not caring too much. Great hostel!

Some love it, some leave as they arrive.
If your expectation is a desolate a 250 bed not-for-profit hostel run by a bunch of "special" or mentally challenged people you will still be surprised. I think it is an organiced scam. It's impossible to get there after midnight unless you taxi. 9 euro for a frozen pizza while credit cards not accepted with less than 10 euro. 2 euro for bottle of water. It was nice though and I had a good rest.

An excellent retreat, great for longer stays
This beautiful hostel, situated in the mountains, is excellent for a long, peaceful stay near Barcelona. The train station being at ten minutes descent from the hostel means that you can get to the city-center in 15 to 20 mins max. There is a bit of a hike from the station to the hostel which made it hard for me to drag a 30kg bag, but without the extra weight it's not difficult to manage. The staff were very polite with us. The gentleman at the reception was very nice and also the cleaning staff whom we briefly interacted with in the morning. One of the most plesant experiences was the breakfast in the morning at the resturant; the place has a great sense of community and warmth, which is rare. Come here if you're looking for something different.

If your budget is very low go for this hostel
Liked the peaceful location, was 20 mins away from the city but since it is close to the train station it works well, staff is very unprofessional especially the lady during morning hours, very rude interaction and bad treatment as if we stayed for free. overall hygiene is 50%.

Hostel with a difference
Run by a not for profit organisation aiming at social integration by employing differently abled persons. The result is great facilities at an excellent price. Situated In the Corserolla national park , you get a splendid view of the mountains and a serene place to stay, only 30 minutes from Barcelona's city centre. Recommend INOUT hostel to any backpacker seeking a great place to stay with the added bonus of supporting social integration:)

So far away
I got in to Barcelona around 11:30pm on a Thursday night, so naturally I wanted to go straight to my hostel and put my stuff down to go out that night. That did not happen because this hostel is so far out of the way. I took a taxi from the airport to Plaça Catalunya where my friend's hostel was located and then had to take another taxi all the way out to what I believe is a National Park outside of Barcelona. Luckily, taxis in Barcelona aren't too expensive, but it was still around 20 euros to get there from the city center. The service here was fine, the rooms were very unassuming, and the air conditioning was nonexistent. The next day, I discovered that the metro rail passes also work for the train (like an actual train, not just the subway/metro) that, fortunately, runs from Plaça Catalunya to the stop close to the hostel. The walk from the train stop to the hostel itself is almost 10 minutes and is uphill and gets very hot during the day. Overall, the hostel was tolerable, and I have no complaints with any of the amenities, but the location is just bad and extremely inconvenient.

Expectations exceeded...
This hostel is excellent if you're looking for value and peace. The breakfast is good and included in the price. The staff is very helpful and kind. You will get some exercise if taking the metro, but the convenience is still there. If you don't like the hustle and bustle of the city, but ready access to Barcelona, this is a haven. For the money, this hostel can't be beat.
