Easy access to internet and friendly people. Great place to know new people and go out on foot, since it is very central. The guys that worked there were all awesome, only the morning guy was a bit more rigid with all the rules and so. Would definetly recommend it.

Rick, one of the staff there is excellent and will give you tips on where to go and is very friendly. The location of the hostel is good as it is near Las Ramblas and there are nearby available amenities such as a super mart and the metro.The hostel is rather clean and the draw curtains of the beds provide privacy when u require privacy.
Probably the timings of the usage of some of the facilities, especially with Barcelona being a city with night life - however, the staff are not overtly strict and will allow some excess usage.

The hotel offers great value for money, with affordable prices that won't break the bank. The attention to detail is commendable, with clean rooms and private external bathrooms that are cleaned daily, ensuring a comfortable stay. The location is a big plus, situated in the heart of the city center, making it easy to explore all the attractions Barcelona has to offer.
No negative aspects mentioned, everything was satisfactory.

beds have curtains so you have a little bit of privacy. it's quite clean.
woman's bathroom have serious lack of shelf, you have no place to put things you need - around mirror as well as in the shower cabin. it's very uncomfortable. also, you can see quite a bit of mold in the corners of shower cabin, as the ventilation in the bathroom is very poor.

The whole place is very clean. From the toilets to the bedroom. Curtains on each bed gives travelers a sense of privacy. It has everything a backpacker needs. Pretty good location too.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in the city center! The location was perfect, with many attractions within walking distance and a nearby metro station. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the basic amenities provided were great. The rooms and bathrooms were cleaned every day, and I especially appreciated the better air circulation in the rooms with three beds. Additionally, the breakfast offered was delicious and satisfying.
All was fine during my stay at this hotel.

Do not go in this Hostel! Do not be fooled by the price: it's cheap but not worth it, is very unpleasant! I do not like anything. 1) The room is very noisy inside the room we can hear the street noise. The sun enters the room very early and there is no curtain. Nobody sleeps after 7 am. 2) At dawn, the employees make noise, they talk loud, they disrupt sleep. 3) The hostel makes extra charges without prompting. They warn some things by mail, they do not meet the combined, they ask for more money. 4) The clerk Marcelo is thick and arrogant. And discriminated me, using the fact that I was a foreigner. 5) They charge an advance payment and therefore they think they can offer a bad service. 6) The location seems good, but the street is very dark and deserted at night. I was robbed on the street this hostel!

I loved that beds had private courtains, always clean and great colors in the design. Staff was really nice . The place was easy to find and walking distance from almost anything. It is new and clean and the pictures won't fool you as other hostel's do. I will definitely stay here again.
