Great little apartment. Dishes and some towels were a bit dirty for us but the overall apartment was pretty clean. The man who checked us in was very nice...but we never saw him after that first day! The location is very good right around the corner from La Rambla, and the security is so good... more Great little apartment.

Perfect location! Room was large & clean with a kitchenette, but bed wasn't very comfortable. Staff was very nice, but it's inconvenient that they are only there a few hours per day.

NOT a drinking/party backpacker place on last day, we left luggage & went out, were given keys to come back for our luggage, as reception closed at 1pm. they gave us wrong key and couldn’t open the front door!!! luckily we had their business card with a mobile number, someone came & open door in 15min. was in hurry to go to airport..that said, security is excellent, you need 4 keys to get in your roomclose

Really NICE room, i mean, it's REALLY NICE! though the wi-fi service couldnt cover the entire place, anyway, what you could ask for, it's FREE! That's more than enough. Plus, the location's jus excellent! would come back again in my next visit to BCN!

Only negative would be that would be good to have breakfast included in the price like other hostels in Barcelona. Apart from that, we had a great time.close

Hostel was really nice once you had got past the dodgy looking front door!! Rooms are exactly like the photos - clean etc. We had a private room and cleaners came every day and towels were changed every day which was all included in the price. Location was excellent - 5 min walk from Las Ramblas....

Being able to cook and store your own drinks was great but with the deli shops all around and great selection of restaurants in the Bari Gotic there wasn't much desire to stay in. The room was simple but functional with a small step out balcony that overlooked the narrow walkway that has constant foot-traffic. There is little opp to avoid noise from the street unless you get one of the rooms with private courtyard balconies. I think I'll opt for that next time I'm in Barcelona. All in all is was a very good experience highlighted by the Agustin and his friendly, helpful staff.close
