Great location! Comfortable, good value for money. Staff was nice and helpful. There is a space that you can use for preparing breakfast and shared fridge is available. Computer with internet available. Free tea & coffee in a hostel was also appreciated for waking up and in the evening, after city walks. If you are not searching for a luxury accommodation, but modest, comfortable & pleasant stay, this is a perfect place! I will definitely recommend it to my friends and come back again.

the location is quite good and in the very centre. However, if you want to stay in barcelona for days, you'd better book the sunshine rooms. the room we booked is quite small and faces the toilets. a little bit smelly.

This is an excellent place to stay in Barcelona if you are travelling on a budget. Perfect location, the airport shuttle is just around the corner and the metro is just outside the hostel. The places of interest you can reach by foot. Free wifi is a strong plus! Was dark in my room, but I did not care too much.

That place so close to Casa Batillo, my room was so small, but comfortable and clean. Service was super polite, speak many languages, I can speak with them english, spanish and even russian. Big thanks to a girl in reception Katya. Super polite, super kind, told me where to go, what to visit at that time and really is so so nice person. I can imagine who is the boss of hotel if they have such a wonderful staff! Big thank you for unforgettable vacation without any problem!

The location is great, you can walk to any part of the city easily. and they have a very good and fast connection wi fi. plus the staffs which are so friendly. i can surely recommend this hotel for anybody. the only problem is you can hear the flow of water if you have a room near the toilet. plus the rooms are a little smaller. but all other friends who occupied other room not near the toilet liked it.

Situation is so convenient. Airport bus shuttle stops near the hostel. Keep in mind that bus will not stop there on the way back to the airport. It stops at Plaza Cataluña. It is a noisy place so keep it in mind. Do not stay in a room close to bathrooms.

Free wifi Parking. I requested directions to the carpark reccommended but was told to come to the hostel first. There was no parking near and I had to find one nearby which cost more than the room for the night.

well room was clean , there was a fridge for the Hostel which we could use for storing milk or fruits , toilets were very clean and the owner "Marie" was very friendly and extremely helpful she talked us through almost everything in the city i regret that we checked out really really early and we didn't get to say goodbye she was a really great person. regarding the location is perfect you get off the bus coming from the airport about 300 meters from the hostel you have every type of shop around you restaurant , supermarkets,FC Barcelona official store :D anything. well i found the room had one single bed and one double i would have preferred to have three single beds but maybe i didn't check the option at time of booking but anyway it wasn't an issue i even didn't mention it to the staff till i left :)

i liked having a 24 hour staff that was eager to help you in your stay. The hostel was located next to Placa de Catalunya that was a central metro station as well as a direct stop off the aerobus from the airport. Good location . Missing a microwave and needed better coffee.

We loved the location. We were able to walk to all the sites we wanted to see. The balcony was nice and free internet use was convenient since we didn't bring a laptop. The plumbing was noisy.
