8/10 Very good

I got a private room and it was alright! The lock on the communal bathroom door was broken and I asked about it but it didn’t get fixed. The location is great and I loved the rooftop. I thought the private room was overpriced for what you’re getting but from what people told me this is normal for Barcelona. Cleanliness was good for a hostel! Near to everything

Disgusting Bunk Beds

Good for the price and good location but the bunk beds are too low and you cant even fully sit down when you're at the bottom of the bed. Not even have a chair to sit down coz you cant really sit properly on bed and me and my children's head always hit the top of the bed. Bunk bed is okay but at least you could have been able to sit down properly.

No bathroom lock

Room didnt have curtains as all the photos showed. The door to the bathroom inside the room didnt lock and the guy in reception said i was not allowed to use another bathroom. In general not very clean. But the people in reception were very nice!

The hostel has a different name and the dorm room didn’t look like on the picture. No curtains like on the pictures. No toilet on the same level as my room, it was out of service. No plug to charge my phone at my bed. Really basic hostel.

Its in an ideal location for the centre, close to metro lincs. Theres a lot of noise at night outside on the street. I was in a room for 6 women and it was very safe, I was solo travelling and even went out with 2 of the girls i met who were from Germany! There are lockers but you need your own padlock. The only possible issue was the toilet was accessible from the corridor and the lock from the inside was falling off :( Our balcony door was broken one day and once reported it was fixed by the next morning! Very good service!

The staff was very friendly. The room is pretty bare bones, but ours was updated and comfortable. Towels and blankets are an extra fee. This isn’t the place to be if you need quiet. That said, you are so close to everything, it is a really good spot!
