Great location, right on the main road. Breakfast wasn't to bad either. Only negative thing was that you had to pay extra for a towel and blanket.

Got the 6 bed private bath. Bathroom was clean, room was clean, etc. Front desk was nice and informative. They have some pretty good tours throughout the week. Enjoyed the Flamenco show. Had to pay for blanket... 2 euros. Free internet and breakfast. Very nice and reasonable place for sure.

Excellent hostel! In Passeig de Gracia right by the Casa Batllo. Out of the seediness on the Las Ramblas area but still close enough. Loved it, would go back.

This was an excellent hostel in the perfect location! The facilities were great and we had an awesome time! I wouldn't go on the guided tours provided though... they weren't worth the money we paid. Definitely recommended though.

is a nice huge hostel - great location - decent breakfast and facilities - met some nice people and had a great stay - just take your own padlock for the lockers and be aware you pay extra for top sheet and blanket.

This Hotel is well located, not to far away from Plaza Cantolonia, a few of Gaudi´s works. This Hostel is a party hostel with large crowds. Not exactly the easiest place to meet other single travellers, but it can be done. The tapas bar tour was quite good. Showers were a bit small to my liking it´s like the size of a refridgerator box, slightly bigger, but livable. Very secure in my opinion if you have to show your card and magnetic key in to your room. I would go back again if I ever make it to barcelona! Oh, and the Bus Tourismo drops you practically in front of the hostel.close

The guys at the reception desk were always in the worst mood you can imagine. Instead of answering my doubts about the hostel and the city they were always sarcastic and unpolite. If I had experienced that only once I wouldn't mind at all but the thing is that they were ALWAYS like that with NO EXCEPTION. I got really disappointed about this hostel.close

i did not realize that because i was going to pay the remaining amount of money for my stay on my credit card, i would be charged an extra euro per night per person, they told me it said it clearly on my conformation email, however it did not, so bring cash or try to pay everything up front.

Staff were great. Hostel is quite central, but not near cheap food or drink places. There's no alcohol allowed in the hostel, so people don't congregate there as much, which means it's harder to meet people. Lots of breakfast food though, and that's the place to talk to people.
