The hostel had a nice ambience and decor. The bed was really comfy. Location is just a few blocks walk to the subway. I got my own room and the terrace had a nice view of the city.

The place is modern and fresh and there is a lot of attention to detail re what you need if your travelling. There was even a hair dryer in the room. It is in a perfect position for sight seeing. I was on the 5th floor and it was really quiet and black out curtains for a good sleep.

The layout of the rooms were not as well designed as Madrid Generator. Generally, not as comfortable as Madrid. Found it annoying that guests are allowed to store multiple large suitcases in the room taking up most of the free space.
The staff both reception and security were incredibly helpful and kind.

It is hard to believe that there are no computers available on site.
The breakfast was really good, but I think there should be a refund if you don´t have it. Also, I reckon it should be possible to have it until 12 am.

“Great location: basic accommodation: spacious communal areas - contrastingly very compact bedrooms!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 3 nights
I would say that the Hostel's maintenance schedule is falling behind as lots of little repairs here and there; thinking bathrooms / shower hoses etc. I felt the cold-water only washbasins in the unisex shower rooms and just one toilet were wholly insufficient with maybe up to sixty persons per floor I was on Floor 5..and in summer the rooms would be full. I think the basement breakfast room (for those who self-cater) did not have enough equipment e.g. no cooking ranges only microwave...but that's my personal take on it all. Noise from the ground-floor located dj was so loud that even on the 5th floor and with ear-plugs I cld feel the Bass when in my bunk. The wi-fi was poor in my view and rather irritatingly kept requiring me to log-in repeatedly with my iphone also: nowhere near enough charging sockets given the dependence on devices these days.. I found a local workiman's Catalan bar a few minutes walk away with great internet and cheap 'cafe solo' & croissant...
Location:, location location! Cliche but it's true...Staff were generally very helpful too; the shared 6-bed hostel room was, thankfully, under-occupied being as it was a few days after the New Year but I would not have fancied it in high summer with a full complement of six as the in-room w/c & shower wld have been under severe pressure not to mention the heat and proximity of others which was not at all dissimilar to a Naval vessel i.e. very compact! Bunk Bed-frames, bedding and mattresses appeared to be in very good overall condition with sufficient storage (buy a lock for 5euros from the Reception). Again, unless you're used to Hostels the idea of living in such conditions at physical close-quarters with others may be challenging as even the existence of external unisex shower rooms on each floor is optimistic (i.e. three showers but only having just one toilet, cold water only sinks so you cannot shave and nowhere to put anything a design tactic one imagines). In terms of accessing Barcelona's Metro you have a choice being that the Hostel is situated @ 377 C/ Corsega within a few minutes walking distance between either Diagonal and Verdagauer Metro stations.. For example, if one wishes to visit Mt. Tibidabo as an interesting digression from the intensity of the city itself then turn right on exiting the Hostel and one can walk to Provenca in around ten minutes or so and catch the L7 direct to Av. Tibidabo where a taxi ride will take you up along the winding roads arriving near the summit (pay between 12 - 15euros max). Unfortunately, the Funicular railway is undergoing reconstruction so its either a taxi or walk the 8km. Public transport in BCN is diverse and affordable so if you are planning a week's stay then buy a T-10 travelcard for just over 11euros.. On my departure I opted for an easy life as heading for the EasyJet Terminal T2 @ Aeroporto El Prat...

Very small bathrooms. Lockers for all under the lower bed are a bit difficult to operate. Bunk beds feel a bit crammed and a bit claustrophobic. Room lighting can be improved.
Good location. Well maintained. Hygienic. Helpful staff. Reception is open 24x7. Breakfast available as an add-on.
