Was clean and quiet, and had a range of different guests, but it reminded me of the big brother house - colourful (literally) with cliques of giggling, teenagers/young adults who were all too cool for school (including the staff). Best for the young-uns and groups.

Amazing hostel! the rooms are very good and clean but also a little small. The staff is very nice. Love the breakfast. The location is good enough, only 10 min from the ramblas and two minutes walking from the next metro station. Loved it!

Large bar/common room on ground floor, also exercise room and chill out room. Friendly helpful staff helped me reconfirm flight. Women's dorm for 4 was fine. About a 15 minute walk from Las Ramblas, but right on metro line to both Ramblas and train station, and from there to airport train....

A very modern and fun hostel. The staff were very friendly, helpful and gave good advice on travel information. Very social atmosphere. Great security and super clean rooms. I wish the showers didn't have water timers. But otherwise highly recommended.

This is a good hostel. Not the best party hostel in barcelona, but if your looking for a good location, with good services, and good security this is your place. Stay at kabul if you want a party hostel.

This hostel is a little far from main attractions in Barcelona and is in a little bit of sketchy neighborhood. However, it's really nice and secure and cheap. If you don't mind the walk to La Rambla or other places then its worth it.

Great location asn Security. However bunk beds were not very confortable and would shake a lot. Staff was nice and the meeting room downstairs was great. I would recommend it.

a little bit out of the city center, and they accidentally let two big guys into our 4-bed female dorm with keys. otherwise a great place to stay. staff friendly, breakfast was corn flakes, breads and pastries with jams, nutella, and butter, and coffee and tea. fun place to meet people at night,...

The floors in the bathroom are very slippery when wet. Make the bathrooms co- ed. Put rugs in the hallway women with high heels make a lot of noise at night walking back and forth

Gives wrong information on public bus schedule going to airport and will cause you trouble or delay of flights. After complaining via calling front desk, never admitted their fault and never apologize.

It was a great hostel for what you paid, however the showers run by pushing in the buttom and the water only runs for approx 1minute and then yu have to push again, there is no temparature control which is hard in October when you would like the water warmer. The breakfast is great and the staff...

Free luggage storage the day of check in and check out and free lockers are definitely a plus. Breakfast is a little weak, but overall I really enjoyed the hostel.

My friends and I stayed here for a weekend and the staff is very friendly. They were all very helpful about what to do and where to go. There was a bar and lounge area in the hostel which was really nice bc it gave us a good area to hang out in. The rooms and bathrooms were nice and clean.

It's a very nice place to stay and meet new people at the bar to go out with. The breakfast is quite good for a hostel and they have big lockers on the rooms. The beds could have been better but overall it's a great place to enjoy your time in Baracelona!

One of the best hostels I have ever stayed at. Showers could be improved slightly (be a little more private) and bike tour was a little expensive but aside from that good fun and great people. Would definitely stay again.
