94%Mambo Tango

Absolutely Loved Mambo Tango, Mariana and Toti and the rest of the staff really make you feel like family - a very trusting environment. Next time I'm in Barcelona this is where I'll be staying.

Hostel was great. This isnt the place to go if you want to party in Barcelona. They dont like drunks and it says that on the front door. Awesome staff will help with anything.

Er wordt ook regelmatig voor gezamelijke activiteiten gezorgd zoals de avondwandeling met prachtig uitzicht over de stad. Dat alles maakt het een gemoedelijke omgeving om mensen te ontmoeten om Barcelona te verkennen. Gemiddelde leeftijd ligt wat hoger achter in de 20 en ouder. Een echte aanrader!close
