I felt that my things are securely locked in the hostel.Also entire hostel was well secured. Place was clean and tidy, with good atmosphere and excellent localization. Common room is well organized, same as little library with books in spanish and few other languages, same TV and DVDs, magazines, all is helps in case of rainy weather. Nice, clean, safety place to stay and be recommended to other travellers.close

This place was great: great atmosphere, great breakfast, a great staff that is genuinely concerned with helping you out, etc. I definitely recommend this hostel. One thing: they provide bed linens, but bring your own towel (or rent one for 1 euro).

The owner's description is true to what you find there. It was a nice stay overall. Average for fun means we were not interested in a party hostel.

Only minor gripe is that it was difficult to find outside - needs a bigger sign. Would certainly come again.close

The only problem is the noise: starts early in the morning when people are having shower or breakfast (which starts at 7:30!). Location is very good, only 10-15 min walk to Las Ramblas.

The staff was very helpful, and the hostel had a nice feeling to it, very easygoing. The nearest metrostop is Girona, not Catalunya (as it says in their directions).

Not a bad hostel generally, but try to avoid booking 6-beds room. The room's window is facing the main street, very noisy, can hardly get a good night sleep.

The restaurant opposite the hostel is fantastic - a must visit! The hostel is close to the underground rail and walking distance to the main strip. The staff are helpful but don't speak English too well.
