Great value for money. Sharing 6bed dorm, you know what you are getting and have to share. Lounge/dining room is amazing and bar is nice with good prices. Breakfast is plenty and also affordable. Really nice vibe and friendly staff.

The location is great, although in the evening, the area doesn’t feel that safe (at least to me that I get scared quite easily).

Andrea

Location was good. The staff were very nice and helpful. I liked the breakfast and the dinning room motif. The pizza was good. I liked the bar and the different venues they had each night.

Kate

United States of America

Helpful staff, nice clean rooms, smells like the vacation you’ve always wanted, comfortable beds, near bus stop for bus #47, great starting point for going to Sagrada, Boqueria, and Barceloneta. Walking distance to casa Mila. Within walking distance is the best churros (Xureria Trebol). Felt safe even if I was a solo traveller. Place is true to photos.

A TV would have been good for evening, even a radio for background noise. The Rooftop bar was shut so we didn t get to see the sights from there. There was no kettle to make tea, a communal tea point would be helpful ....
Didnt stay for the breakfast as it was 8 euros for continental and we could go next door to the bakery and get fresh coffee and yummy stuff for much less

“It was very nice and comfortable and well-priced.”

On Booking.com, it said this hostel was an 8-minute drive from the airport, but in reality it was about a 30-minute drive. I wish they would have had the accurate information listed because it makes a difference.
The bed was very comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. The staff spoke English and was very willing to help with any needs. There's someone at the front desk 24 hours a day. The other people staying there were also very nice. It is a comfortable place to stay for a low price.

Nothing to unlike really.
Everything. The best Generator Hostel I've stayed so far. The room was spacious, clean and it has a terrace which was a bonus for me. The staff were friendly and accommodating, the lobby was well designed. Found my favourite spot to chill actually. And the hostel is just close to the metro which is an absolute thumps up for me. My roommates were also kind and very sensible. The breakfast was delicious and can't help but amazed by the lights in the bar. 😍😍😍
