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

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.

“Good stay”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group
- • Stayed 2 nights
Unfortunately, the first two rooms they gave us had not been cleaned. Maybe it was an update problem but the third room was clean and they were very apologetic about the trouble it caused. The only downside to the room is that instead of the double bed we requested, it was two singles pushed together making it rather uncomfortable to sleep on.
They had great communal facilities, like a pool table, swinging chairs, a little indoor market on the weekend, and a bar. The room we had also had a great balcony with an amazing view of the sangrada familia.

We were only given shower towels, no hand-towels. Air conditioning was very noisy, we had to keep it off which was fine as it was not needed. I can imagine in the summer it would be problematic.
We stayed in one of the premium rooms, view from the balcony was great and the room nicely decorated.

laundry room - only 2 washers and dryers for travelers who resided in the building. I had waited 45 minutes to use the machine and an hour to finish my task.
my likeliness were: breakfast was the first, room was the second, cleanliness was the third, location was the forth, tours assistance was fifth (although i did not join,) and city maps was choice the sixth.

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

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.
