helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff, special thanks to Camilla and Camillo.
AustriaThe staff was really nice, they helped us a lot, the room was clean and the beds were comfortable , and the location was very convenient.
MexicoStaff was very friendly and helpful. They even drew on a map exactly which train stops we would take for the airport and Sagrada Familia and the best ticket to buy. Our room was very spacious and location was central enough while being in a quieter area. Will definitely stay here if we return to barcelona
United States of AmericaStaff friendly. Douglas is a nice guy that helped a lot. Good vibes from everybody.
BrazilThe location was excellent, very centrally located, close to Plaza Catalunya, and 5-10 mins walk. The front desk staff were excellent too, especially Andiya, Douglas and Mehdi. They all were very helpful and provided valuable information about the area and attractions.
United States of AmericaThe location is amazing and the room was quite clean! The receptionist Nicholas was super helpful and friendly!
TurkeyThe staff was very nice, friendly and helpful especially Nicolas. He was very friendly and ready to help anytime. We highly recommend and value for money staying in a nice neighborhood in the center of the city.
North MacedoniaStaff was great Especially Andian who was so helpful and responsive to all our needs. Love the view out our french doors overlooking the street. So many bathrooms, never a wait. Nice private room with sink, beds are comfortable. About a 10 minute wak to Plaza Catalonia, so easy to pick up buses for tours or to the airport. Would definitely stay again.
United States of AmericaAll the staff was lovely, very welcoming and chatty. The place is very clean and the room, though simple, was perfect for a couple of days' stay. The place is bang in the middle of Barcelona, and even though there was a bit of noise from the outside (unavoidable in the Raval) the hostel itself was quiet and peaceful. There was someone at reception 24 hours and they were accommodating with our requests. I'd definitely recommend it for a short stay if you want to be near all the main attractions.
United KingdomVery central and convenient location. We arrived very late and left very early so the hostel being right next to the airport bus stops was excellent. Good communication with the property and a solid basic hostel.
