Very Good
KKotaJPI had emailed in advance to let them know I'd be staying with a friend, but upon arrival, we were assigned separate rooms. I was told that since our reservations weren't made together, we couldn't be in the same room.
If they had informed me of this when I first emailed, I could have canceled our separate bookings and made a single reservation for both of us.
Eventually, Trip.com helped us out, and we were assigned to the same room for one night. However, since both my room and my friend's room had empty beds from the very first night, I'm still puzzled as to why we couldn't have been assigned to the same room from the beginning.
I was also surprised that a €50 deposit was required to borrow a hairdryer. When I actually tried to borrow one, all the hairdryers were already lent out. Since I had already paid the deposit, I think it would be better if they checked hairdryer availability before asking for a deposit.
Regarding the other guests, it's a dormitory, so I suppose it's to be expected to some extent, but my impression was that the quality of guests varied wildly.
On the positive side, the dining area was spacious, the coin lockers were very secure, the location was excellent, and the cleaning staff were very kind.
Thank you.
GGuest UserThe location is quite good. I stayed in an 8-person female dorm, which had two restrooms, two shower rooms, and two washbasins. Each person gets an individual locker; you'll need to bring your own lock or purchase one at the front desk. There are two tiers of lockers, four on each tier. If you can't lift your items up, there's space below. You can wash your clothes downstairs and dry them; hanging them in the dorm is not allowed. There are three breakfast options, choose according to your needs.
GGuest UserLocation is subjective, the location worked well for me and at the price, I think you'd be hard pressed to do better in Barcelona. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everything was clean, the other travellers where all nice, it was quiet and my stuff was safe, staff even lent me padlock. 100% recommend this hostel.
GGuest UserThe old-fashioned elevator was really charming. The quad room was great, with spacious bottom bunks that you wouldn't bump your head on. I booked for three days, and everything was good except on the last day I found some small bugs on the bed. They didn't look like fleas or bed bugs. I forgot to take a picture.
GGuest UserGreat location! It's a short walk to Gaudí's three famous buildings, the metro station, and a supermarket. I opted for breakfast, which was decent. I didn't try dinner as 9 PM is a bit late for my schedule, but I did notice the food quality looked quite good. The wardrobe in the room was incredibly spacious and held a lot.
GGuest UserI rarely write reviews, but this place really impressed me and I just had to praise it. First off, the hostel's location is super convenient; you can walk to everything. The staff were also incredibly kind. On my first day, the lovely lady at reception saw me struggling with a lot of luggage and let me check in early 🥺 which was a huge help. Plus, the entire hostel, everywhere you go, smells wonderful! My dorm mates were also great, and the dorm area was always quiet. I could easily take a peaceful nap during the day. The air conditioning temperature was perfect too; I wasn't cold at all at night even with just a sheet. All in all, it was fantastic.
GGuest UserThe location is excellent, with many restaurants nearby, and both the subway and bus stops are very close. The kitchen provides breakfast every day, and even simple bread, coffee, and milk are delicious. There's also a large garden where you can relax and unwind. The front desk is 24-hour, so there's no need to worry about late check-ins.
GGuest UserThe service was very good. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic. They recommended tourist attractions and restaurants to me and cared about me as a traveler. They also had a pleasant chat with us. However, the room was very poor. There were about three rooms with 12 people sharing one bathroom and toilet. The quality of the roommates was average. The bed was very hard. There was a strange smell in the room. I didn't sleep well all night.
CCHOW LONG HANGThere is thief in this hostel!
I almost lost my phone but luckily the police find it, it is hide somewhere else in the hostel, but there is no direct evidence to charge that suspect, all the hostel can do is to kick him out. Another Korean women are that lucky as the police couldn’t find her phone at last.
The staff are really helpful when dealing with this issue and I really appreciate that. The staff did warn all guest to be careful for their own things and make sure to lock all of them in the locker the night before. The owner of the hostel also offer me help immediately during the whole process. Thank you again.
About this hostel, the location is really convenient and with a fair price in the city centre. The kitchen is a bit small but it is acceptable. The shower room is okay for me and the shower room is clean in general.
However, for the bed-set & towel you will have to pay 3 euro for it. Else, you can only sleep with a pillow with no bedsheet during your stay. If you pay card & the amount is less than 120 euro, they will charge extra 5% fee. So you better have some cash.
Like all the other hostel, you should be aware of your own valuables and lock them up in the locker.
Overall, I would recommend this hostel despite the sad incident happen on me.
