I liked a lot this hostel. I can reccomend it to every young person travelling with backpacks. I liked the structure, the rooms were not so clean but either too dirty, the bathrooms and shower rooms were clean and ok, and common areas were great. I loved the beds, really confortable. And the place were the hostel stays is perfect, in a perfect city like Barcelona! Enjoy! I only think that what is lacking there is social interaction between the clients. The hostel has the structure to offer nights with dinners to make people interact with eachother. And I know this is common in other places. This is the only complain I have!

It's nice, clear, calm, secure, perfect location and good price. There is very nice kitchen, places for free food and good organization in the kitchen. In our room we had french windows and nice view to the street. There is no enough places to put your belongings - in bathroom(inside the cabin there's no place to hang anything-there is outside) and also into the room(there is a place to lock belongings, but the locker is not exactly to your bed and everytime you want something you should cross the room and to disturb others for every little thing(especially early in the morning or late at night.

I have to stay in this hostel because all the hotels have been fully booked during MWC, but it turns great. The location is good, stuff is good. Have a very cozy environmental and you feel very much relaxed. There's no light control in the room I stay so I have to ask reception to shut the lights. The bathroom is very big and clean but it seems can't be closed from the inside.

Promising new hostel but poor execution. The hostel is brand new with a nice design and features. They had a decent sized kitchen for guest use and a nice lounge area to relax in. The beds were also really comfortable. The hostel didnt really avcomodate the needs of travellers, it seemed promising but wasnt well thought out. Some examples; no powerpoints in rooms, no light switches either (controlled by reception we believe but werent told this), no rubbish bins either. The showers are in cubicles with no where to hang your towel or place your clothes - there is no space to get changed either as the cubicle is the same size as that of a toilet so everything gets wet from the shower. There were no hand dryers or paper towel in the toilet room either so you had to take your own towel to the toilet each time. There were plenty of hand basins but they were placed right next to each other leaving no bench space to put belongings.

Localização e internet wifi muito boa. Meu quarto ficou sem limpar por 3 dias, tive que pedir para limpá-lo, havia reforma no hostel e esquecerem do quarto; Os recepcionistas não são simpáticos e não sabem passar informações; o banheiro é no andar dos quartos e os chuveiros no andar debaixo, nada prático.

前台英文挺好,对于各类规矩比较强调,例如23点之后保持安静等等,所以住的这几天没有被吵到。 最满意的一点是该青旅地处华人聚居区,如果从Arc de Triomf地铁站走过去的话会经过一个比较大的中国超市,里面应有尽有,买材料去青旅厨房做饭什么的都完- 全可行。而且居然还有卖营养快线啊!巴塞罗那真是一个神奇的地方... 每个人的柜子里都有万用插座,这样可以把手机锁在柜子里充电,挺安全的。 浴室隔间设计得不太合理,大概是为了节省空间做得比较简陋吧... 另外写的check in时间从12点开始,但实际上下午两点才能拿钥匙入住,因为要打扫房间,去早了就只能存包了...

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja - 5 minut na nogach z dworca Estació Nord, na który przyjeżdżają autobusy Barcelona Bus z lotniska Girona (Barcelona- Costa Brava); 100 m do marketu Dia%; niedaleko łuku Triumfalnego I Parku Ciutadella; wszędzie można dotrzeć na nogach, a w razie potrzeby blisko znajduje się stacja metra; łazienki są wystarczające dla przebywających gości - nie trzeba stać w kolejce do prysznica (ale brakuje w łazienkach koszy na śmieci - są małe kosze w toaletach - ale są za małe - można by dodać po 2 pod umywalkami); miła I pomocna obsługa - zna język angielski, a jedna z recepcjonistek jest Polką; kuchnia dobrze wyposażona (2 płyty grzewcze, 2 kuchenki mikrofalowe, piekarnik, duża lodówka, wszystkie niezbędne naczynia; w pokojach znajdują się solidne szafki zamykane na klucz - mieszczące co najmniej walizkę kabinową (może nawet 2 by się zmieściły) wewnątrz szafki jest gniazdko można więc ładować aparat / telefon nawet podczas nieobecności bez obaw, że gdy wrócimy go nie będzie; Brak kosza na śmieci w pokojach (brak dużych koszy w łazienkach pod umywalkami); brak półeczki albo koszyka na kosmetyki pod prysznicem; pokoje są dość małe - nie ma w nich żadnego krzesła; szafki są metalowe dlatego chcąc nie chcąc cokolwiek się z nich wyjmuje słychać hałas; klimatyzacja włączona na połowę swej mocy nie daje wystarczających rezultatów I w pokoju jest duszno, a na nastawiona na całą moc hałasuje (mi hałas nie przeszkadza, ale niektórym tak - w związku z tym było mi w nocy bardzo duszno)

工作人员人很好,厨房、过道之类的公共空间很明亮,房间也有大窗户,阳光可以进来,所以住在那里的时候心情- 很愉快,我住的是14人间,虽然人很多,但房间很大,所以不会觉得挤。总体感觉很卫生。周围5分钟的路程内- 有个2个中超,远一点的一个可以买到€2的凉拌鸡爪之类的东西!交通也方便,去马德里的汽车站大概10分钟- 的路程。

Excelente escolha, boa localização cozinha muito bem equipada, quartos confortáveis, wifi pega nos quartos e os atendentes são muito solicitos. A única coisa que incomodou foi que a para desligar a luz do quarto, tinha que pedir na recepção.

Es un albergue moderno, de diseño manteniendo el estilo del edificio. Con la comodidad de tener cocina con todo lo necesario: ollas, sartenes, nevera, etc... sala para poder comer. También puedes estar en el sofá con tele como si estuvieras en casa. Las habitaciones son espaciosas, cómodas y con taquillas. Estuve unos días con mi familia en la habitación con lavabo y fue fantástico. Por el precio disfrutas de unas instalaciones de lujo. Está muy bien situado y además es una zona muy tranquila sin ruidos, con aparcamiento. Lo recomiendo a todo el mundo. Muy limpio y muy amable el servicio.
