Very nice hotel, close to the beach. Its location is very good, if you are willing to walk 10-15 minutes to the town centre. Very clean, not at all noice an good breakfast. The metro station is 5-10 minutes.

Great location close to the beach, the subway and bus-stops. Quiet quarter. Breakfast is provided in the room, so you can eat when you want to, but the contact to other travellers is little.

Huge room like an apartment with everything you need even a little kitchen, but i found it really unsocial. I felt like i had to wake up at 10am every morning to make sure the cleaning lady didnt walk in on us too. Room cleaned every day new towels and breakfast! but the floor was never swept...

Close to Metro, Close to the beach. Clean. Fridge and laundry. I stayed alone but the room would be great for more people with the kitchen and stove. I also got to do my laundry! Nice place! Would stay again!

excellent location. About a 2 min walk down to the beach and a 10 minute walk to the gothic part of the city.... would recommend as rooms are nice and staff are very friendly and helpful, but if you want a party hostel environment this isnt for you.

Great place, right on the beach. Had difficulty finding it at first as the directions on hostel world were a bit vague. Once you come out of barceloneta metro, you simply walk to the gasNatural tower and go through the middle of it, rather than to the 2 big glass towers. The breakfast in the...

Depends what you're looking for. Not much community atmosphere here, but clean, well located and very comfortable. Good for couples who don't care so much about meeting other travellers.

For someone wanting to cater for themselves and to have a solid base from which to explore Barcelona and/or attend conferences, this place is ideal. Also there are excellent local food shops and a metro close by. Thanks for an excellent trip.

The hostel is located right next to a synthetic football pitch and we were able to watch a few club matches from our balcony. It is only about a 5 minute walk from the beach, but about 15-20 from Les Ramblas. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and a nice facility. Best hostel I stayed in during my 5 months studying abroad.close

This place is excellent if you are looking to do the beach. It is a metro ride to the city center, but beware, pickpocketing is plentiful in Barcelona, so if you are looking to do the Gaudi stuff and visit the downtown, I suggest looking for a different place. Very nice place overall though....

This is a college dormitory, so in the summer it was a quiet place to stay. Kitchenette and cheap laundry machines were useful. It's really close to the beach, but it's a little further to get to the city center.

We stayed in a single room with a private bath for 100 euro a night. The hostel and the staff were great, but we found out that we could have stayed in a decent hotel in a better location for around the same price.Plus the lack of hot water was disappointing.

We loved the breakfast and the proximity to the beach and the centre of Barcelona without having to listen to the riot of fun that Barcelona is at night. Recommended Tapas at Bar la Bombeta towards beach, 2nd on the right and also found excellent bakery along same street for cafe con leche and fresh bocadillos (sandwiches) to take out on trips with us. Free access to computers at Hostel never taken up, but probably will next time. Would certainly go back as fridge also good for chilling wine!close

Each room is self-contained so not very social unless you use the social areas. But I needed it for one night and it was perfect - a nice walk to the centre along the sea front, and very good quality for the price. Lovely staff.

We were really impressed with the size of the room, it was nice and modern, the beds were comfy, and the bathroom was nice and clean. The breakfast wasnt that nice it was a pre-packed croissant/pastry which is put in your room the night before. We still went out for breakfast in a cafe, as the breakfast wasnt sufficient. The hostel was nice and quiet too, it took us about 15 minutes to walk to the Rambla and the main parts of the city. Definitely would stay there again!close

The area has some great seafood restaurants and is perfect if you're returning to Barcelona and want to escape the tourist hellhole that is Las Ramblas. You get the feeling you're living amongst locals rather than vying for space with human statues. You get a breakfast tray every day, plus there's a gym you can use any time. However, room advertised on the website said double bed - however, there are only 4 doubles available - try and email ahead to book one.close
