    It is a pitty that the hostel doesn’t have rules for disturbing the night peace. It’s really not nice to be woken up after 2am by a known person of the staff staying in the mix room turning on the lights in this room. This was more than rude. In addition, staff shouldn’t be accommodating person who also have breathing disorders in mix room (I am talking about one person, but we know…everything what happened…it’s life)

    Very good staff. The hostel is very close to Barca Sants(10min walk).

    Within better people sharing this would have been ideal. Great location if you’re travelling by train the next morning.

    Not within owners control, but the people in the room. Quite cramped room made for a lot of noise but the people were also noisy. There always seems to be that one person who wants the window open (if it’s you stop doing it no one likes you for it !!!) which led to outside noise. Also one person was smoking which was annoying

    Deliberately chosen to be near Barcelona sants for travel so very convenient. Owners were lovely people, facilities were nice and clean.

    Not very clean. The bathroom is particularly grim. The bed is not comfortable but you get what you pay for.

    Cheap and cheerful - you get a decent bed with a curtain to 'igloo' yourself in and private charge socket. It's a good location and the staff are helpful

    You can’t take the keys to the room with u but they let you in at any time day or night so it’s not a big problem it’s just a weird feeling knowing you yourself can’t get in the hostel

    - A/C was only on from 11pm-8am. I like to sleep early and check-out was at 10am, so I would have liked to be more comfortable during those times. I was only informed of these times upon arrival. - the ladders for the bunk beds were not very easy to climb. You need to be very agile if you get a top bunk. - additionally, you don't get to choose a bed so if you are less physically able and get assigned a too bunk, I'm not sure if you have the option of changing to a bottom bunk. - although we had lockers, we had to hand the keys to the reception anyway, so someone else always has access to your valuables if you keep them there.

    - A/C - 24H reception - curtains for privacy - toilets on every level - very clear information - good location

    The rooms are too tiny to fit 3 bunkbeds and 6 people; the lockers are under the lower bed, not practical, so we all leave our stuff outside... more mess. The showers are on the underground floor, and breakfast begins at 8, too late to take early trains

    Very close to Sants train station, and quiet quarter. It is a fully renewed house, all tidy and very clean. The staff are the grandpa and grandma, which is curious. it is a familiar bussiness, that i like

    room is near the lift which can be quite noisy at night, the door is also just a sliding door so doesn’t keep and noise out. very hot in summer before the aircon comes on at 11pm. showers have good water pressure and temperature but we’re not draining very well. only a very small kitchen, fine to keep things in but not for cooking. the hostel is fine but not as nice as some you can find these days.

    good location, close to the metro to get to the Duomo but the also the area around the hostel was very lively and had lots going on in the evenings. the hostel itself is down a side street so is not too noisy from the street. there is aircon which works well but it was only turned on from 11pm, before that the rooms were very hot! (not sure if this was just a new thing due to all the energy issues going on these days). toilet and bathroom were kept relatively nice and clean for the number of people staying.
