    Noise at night, apparently there is a club in the building. Finding out the relationships of teenagers under the windows. Mosquitoes. The atmosphere is more sporty than comfortable. Poor sound insulation from neighbors

    Pretty good balcony view, beautiful old building. Work of staff and facilities was excellent. The room has a safe and refrigerator. Room is clean. The location allows me to walk to everything interesting

    My only concern was that there was no hot water the morning I left, so had a cold shower (no hot water) at 5.30am. Other than than I was very happy with the accommodation.

    At night was very noisy. First night we were so cold.. because they had an issue.. but the second night they fixed the problem. They gave us blankets. And also they borrowed us a hairdryer

    The hostel was very clean, they cleaned the room every day! This was the nicest thing about the hostel(even the shared bathrooms were very clean). And the staff is very nice and friendly.

    Only one chair. Microwave and kettle area didn't have a sink so limited value as a useful space.

    Good location very near the metro. Very helpful staff both on reception and housekeeping. Reception always open. Nice room, and communal areas. Fridge in room. Balcony.

    Good location just outside busy areas but very close to a metro station and only a reasonably short walk away from the sea as well. Staff is very friendly and speak perfect English. The room was clean and had everything needed for a short trip spent exploring the city.

    The room was a bit cold, and the wifi connection was somewhat weak. On the first day, I encountered a minor issue finding the hostel since there is no external label on the street. I suggest checking the location on your phone for better navigation and also pay close attention to the doorbell.

    I really enjoyed the hostel's convenient location and the friendliness of the staff. This was my first trip to Barcelona, and the location was truly excellent. It is within walking distance to many places, and thanks to the nearby metro station, I could easily and safely reach anywhere.

    What wasn't nice is some mess with heating. One person on the reception was acting like we were just bothering him. It was a very cold day, and we were promised that the heating in the room would be on since 6, but upon arrival back around 10 pm the battery was still cold. First he tried to convince us that everything is working and didn't want to take a look, but then he went 'to check' and the heating went up in a few moments. The next day the same story, but they gave us a heater that wasn't available before. And also the hostel needs to improve the soundproofing in the rooms. After reading the reviews I expected that it would be noisy, but didn't expect it to be That noisy. Yes, as someone said, earplugs is a must :)

    Very well organised hostel, a clean and big room. Usually I don't stay in places with shared bathroom, but in this case it didn't cause any discomfort. It was clean, tidy and enough for the number of rooms using it. The staff (almost everyone) were very welcoming and extremely helpful

    If you're looking for a hostel with the purpose of meeting people this might not be the right place. There are no common rooms to hang out, and people therefore keep to themselves. You can hear almost everything going on in the hallway which meant that we often woke up during the nights when people returned.

    In walking distance to the Rambla and close to the metro as well. We walked almost everywhere except to the bunkers and airport. Room and bathroom was nice and clean - and was also cleaned every day. Nice and private space if you're basically just looking for a place to sleep and expect to spend most of your days exploring the city (which we did). Staff is so nice and helpful!
