83%Gothic Point Hostel

Great hostel right in the centre of Barcelona. Stock up at breakfast for sure. Packed when we were there, great bustling atmosphere. bring some earplugs if you want some sleep though.

My idea of "linen included" usually covers some kind of blanket/doona, not just a pillow case & base sheet (that doesn't fit the mattress). I would rather forsake 20 free minutes on the internet for a doona.

Services were low. There were no blankets. I've never stayed in a hostel where a blanket wasn't included in the cost.

Additionally, though they knew we'd been in the same hostel the night before, and even though we had a reservation, we had to wait about an hour to check in on Friday. It was ridiculous. Breakfast was good.close

Check out is at 10 am. They came in our room at 10 am to wake us up and turn the lights on after we had been out till 6 the night before. Other than that there's really no complaints. Staff was pretty helpful, great location, a little hard to find so its worth taking a cab there at first....

Loved this hostel. Good location. Dorm set up is awesome- you get curtains around your bed. The people who work here are so lovely. Plus you get free breakfast!

Staff was not tremendously friendly or helpful. You can get a blanket and towel...if you rent them for several Euro more. Beds each have a curtain around them, so you are offered a little privacy if you would like.

You can get a blanket and towel...if you rent them for several Euro more. Beds each have a curtain around them, so you are offered a little privacy if you would like. If you are looking for a decently clean place close to Las Ramblas and the city center, and you don't mind unhelpful staff and renting blankets/towels, then this will suffice. I would personally look for another one, though. Hope this helps.close

Wicked location in the heart of the old town close to everything. Good breakfast and comfy bed. Bit of a climb into the top bunks tho! Staff were helpful and the flamenco night was great fun.

Great Hostel. Excellent vibe, and good location to the Metro, local city park, and Picasso Museum. I would stay here again. Staff was a little clueless at times and gave me the wrong time for a tour, but they refunded my money promptly.

I think that this hostel is okay, except the bathroom. The staffs are really nice, breakfast is nice, the room is ok and the location is perfect. But I really couldn't stand the bathroom. Whenever I went to take shower, I had to stand smell. And the shower booth wasn't very convenient. But... more I think that this hostel is okay, except the bathroom.

The rooms were clean enough, but the bathrooms were extremely dirty and smelly. The towels and linens were also not very nice. The staff was not very friendly or helpful. The location, however, was convenient.

The hostel is pretty good actually. The room`s are very spacious and you have like your won reserved bed which I thought was perfect. The only thing there they should pay more attention is to the shower area. It`s a little bit unconfortable and it was always wet. In the rooms you have 2 toilets...

The rooms were a very bizarre layout with cabin style beds with very high ladders and curtains. The rooms were therefore not very social and did not facilitate meeting people.

Nothing special except for the location (10 minutes to the beach, 5 to La Rambla/different sights, next to a metro station). The breakfast was bad (instant coffee, no ham/cheese, no bread, just toast) and the rooms were lacking athmosphere (big separate boxes with curtains).
