I really appreciated the fact that the hostel was just a stone's throw away from the metro and bus stop that goes straight to the city centre. The hostel is also comfortably located near the Parc Guell so you can reach the place in 20 min walk. Taking into account this is a hostel, one shouldnt complain too much. The obvious disadvantage was the noise coming from the corridor and made other hostel dwellers (I stayed in a single room but the walls and the door were really thin). Another disadvantage was breakfast served in something that looks like a garage, without any heating on, in winter! Not very comfortable, but to be honest I don't have much experience with hostels! Hostel also located on the slope so better take a taxi if you take much luggage with you!

The location was excellent - right between Park Guell and La Sagrada Familia. We were visiting Barcelona for our anniversary and the room had 2 twin beds - not very romantic. The room itself was a very low-end, basic dorm room: a couple nightstands, a long table and shelf and some closet space. The TV did not work (not a huge deal), the refrigerator did not work (a small inconvenience), the hot water went out for 4 days (major disappointment) and the street was extremely noisy until very late every morning (very discouraging). It was simply a place to store our suitcases and sleep. I would look for a more soundproof room and better amenities if I were to visit again.

Great location, especially if you go there around 15 Aug during the 'Festa Major de Gràcia' Showers are definitely too small! (and sometimes with no hot water)

The staff is good. The lift often does not work. It's a little far from the metro. Moreover, there is a hill slope on the way to the slope.

Reception board is really helpful and friendly. Hostel was good for sleeping over. Location is quite OK. The room was dirty, but on the other hand it is not the problem of cleaning staff, but rather roommates. Beds are ok, although little bit noisy. One day there was no hot water in the shower. Breakfast was also OK, but time when it was served not always suited my needs.

There is nothing positive to say whatsoever about this place. Don't even consider staying in this place. The staff on reception have a terrible attitude. The whole place is dirty, tatty and smells. Your room and bathroom resembles a cell. (The fan was broken in my room.) You have to share the one shower on your floor. The students are noisy at all hours, crashing and banging doors late into the night. The meagre breakfast is awful. (There wasn't any cereal bowls when I went down, on time, and the serving lady told me there were no more.) The students leave the elevator doors open, so you have to carry your luggage up and down flights of stairs. It's not even cheap. Don't, whatever you do, stay here. It is completely hideous. Horrific.

If you are a young traveller , this is a good option. Free wi-fi and close-by metro station are really plus. I had read the comments prior to booking. I don't agree with people that claimed "no english speakers at reception counter" . whoever I saw (4-5 people ) in four days at counter speaks and helps as best as they can. The facility is actually a dormitory . PCs with free internet is annoying due to being too old . Breakfast selection is a bit poor. Enrich your meal with a little shopping from nearby supermarket :)

Well, it's really cheap and included a simple breakfast~ and a huge Gaudi fan like me Will find it really close to the park Guell , and it's a very quiet zone where u could see the locals walking the streets.. Like I said the zone is really quiet.. That's because there's really not that much too see.. The bathroom and toilet..well they are working but not comfortable at all~

A localização é muito boa com uma estação de metrô bem próxima ao hostel, os quartos são limpos, o café da manhã é bom e os funcionários foram bastante solícitos no atendimento dando sempre informações preciosas para os passeios. O banheiro (ducha) que é compartilhado e alguns aspectos físicos na estrutura que precisam ser reparados. Entretanto, a relação custo benefício faz da hospedagem neste hostel válida.

Ótimo atendimento dos funcionários e o quarto também é muito agradável. O banheiro é compartilhado com homens e mulheres, o que não é confortável.

Las instalaciones están viejas y descuidadas. Me quedé en una habitación individual, y el baño no tenía ducha. Para ducharte tienes que ir a las duchas comunes. La habitación en teoría tenía aire acondicionado y tv... pues del aparato de aire acondicionado ni rastro, y la tv consistía en lo que parecía ser un monitor con un sintonizador. Total, que no había ningún canal sintonizado y cuando lo intenté hacer yo no conseguí nada. El desayuno bastante pobre.

La habitación en teoría tenía aire acondicionado y tv... pues del aparato de aire acondicionado ni rastro, y de la tv solo había un soporte en la pared, en el que en tiempos mejores estaría la tv.En teoría hay un horario de duchas de 6:00 a 23:00 h, pero yo fui a ducharme pasadas las 6:30 y no salía agua caliente.El desayuno bastante pobre.

Apesar de ser distante, mais de fácil acesso de metro ao centro histórico e ramblas, era perto do parque guell, que é ponto obrigatório para quem vai a Barcelona. E ao redor havia muitas opções de bares para encontrar todo tipo de pessoa. O Café compensa, muito bom... Limpeza dos quartos deixa a desejar. E casa de banho compartilhado muito pequenas, apesar de haver outras opções de banho, mas muito disputadas.

Está muy cerca del Park Güel. El desayuno está muy bien. El personal te atiende rápido. No me ha gustado es la habitación en sí. Creo que no están muy cuidadas, sobretodo las puertas y los armarios. Las duchas no funcionan del todo bien. Sólo hay una mesa para comer en la planta baja. No hay fuego en la primera planta, entonces para cocinar es un poco lío eso de subir al segundo piso y luego bajar con la comida a la habitación.
