Good location, was right in middle of city. Hotel had your basic needs. Was newly renovated within the Gothic area. Free WiFi.

The hostel is in a great location. And considering for where it is, priced reasonably. It's a functional, small, no frills kind of place. Best if you do not have large suitcases, there's no room for those. The breakfast area was modern and nicely set up - again, clean, compact with a large window onto Las Ramblas, nice treat.

The landing to the Reception, it was not the easiest to go up to the stairs specially if you have a big luggage. The rooms are sound proof from outside noise but the rooms to each other was not. I can hear the footstep of the other room and the upstair rooms.
The breakfast was amazing, it was only a few steps away from the train station and a lot of food place around the area. The room was cute and practical.

No facecloths. The beds were very firm. Needed more pillows. Smokey smell in the room.
Breakfast choices were excellent. Location was fantastic. Staff were very helpful! (and the curious tour book was great) There was a room for 4 with 4 separate beds.

I really liked the hostel and i enjoyed my stay .. however you should know some issues to be prepared - the room is really small ... contains only a bed , tv & some shelves ..so if you like specious rooms you won’t be happy - the hostel is in the 1st floor & there is no elevator to the reception but the hostel itself has an elevator .. so be prepared to carry your luggages to the reception

There is 4 flight of stairs to get to the reception. If you have big suitcases or bags it is very difficult. Being a hostal there is no porter to help you with the bags. But i was lucky at checking in & out the person at the reception help with my bags.
Area was very central to everything.

Nice small room good for three People. The only minus was the Window was only a small one and not very enlightened as it was a Window to an small inner yard. As We had the holiday in octomber and not in the summer time i believe We would have apreciate the Window different for the shade în the hot summer days.
Nice location in the center of The City, close to the metro station, close to Boqueria market and the gothic quarter. Nice complete breakfast, good Coffee and fruits, along with local jamon and salami.

Bed was really small. I didn't face any problem even in Japan but those were really small. Towel changes and daily room cleaning would be better. Since it's on La Rambla street, you should be ready for 24 hours noise and vibrations of the subway. But it's not hotel's fault of course.
Location was great. It's just on La Rambla. Breakfast was good. You may find many kind of food in breakfast. Staff was really helpful. Always helped us friendly. There is a computer as well. They give you a free drink for welcome.
