  gross, no privacy & not safe

  03 Sept 2024

  I will be honest, I am a pretty tolerable traveller but I urge everyone not to stay here if you value safety or privacy. We had to check out early…. There is no window to daylight, the room will remain dark until there is artificial light. The female shower door doesn’t even SHUT let alone lock. Two showers in one room and that was it. No privacy at all. Would have to take off all your clothes in the shower with the door shut if you wanted any privacy. Which was all waterlogged (including the floor). Not even enough room for all 4 people in one room to be in there at the same time if they’re not literally in bed. The communal spaces all close relatively early so you would have to just go to bed. The worst bit, is there are no real lockers. All your stuff is in a drawer under the bed with only a mattress protecting it (which can be lifted up). There are massive grates and I could fit my arm in it down to my elbow. Could have pulled anything out easily. If someone wanted to steal something, they would. Meant you had to have everything on you at all times which is not ideal in Barcelona. Not to mention, it was just dirty in general. Chewing gum on the bunk beds, flies everywhere and stains up every wall. I would really urge anyone not to stay here especially if you’re a female. There is no monitoring of who is staying there, anyone could walk in.

  Extremely unkept and tiny space

  19 Aug 2022

  I stayed in this hostel a week ago with 3 of my friends. When we arrived, we were shocked to see our room. A tiny bedroom with two bunk beds and no space for four us to stand together. Bedsheets we’re dirty along with the mattresses. The lockers seen in the pictures are not there anymore, only a huge roll out drawer underneath the bunk beds. Staff didn’t seem to know how to deal with issues or complaints. Was told the “boss” would come the next morning to attend to our complaints and never did. The “outside terrace” was run down and closed at 9pm along with the kitchen closing at 11pm. I understand noise at night can be annoying, but you don’t automatically become full at 11pm. Toilets were tiny, shower was fine. Had to ask for air conditioning to be turned on multiple times, and we returned one night our bedroom door unlocked when we triple checked that it was locked before we left. The nice window/balcony seen in the pictures we’re not apart of our room (which we had expected), we only had a glass door/window that led to buildings on either side and had no natural sunlight or air. If we had left the window open during the night, it was accessible from the bathroom, anyone could come in. Hostel is located at the bottom floor of an apartment complex and the door to the hostel was always left open. Felt very unsafe and unclean staying at this hostel and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone to spend over €300 on this place, or any money at all.

  Perfect location for a trip to the city. You are within walking distance of most locations. Excellent measure were in place during COVID-19. extra care taken to ensure guest peace of mind. The hostel staff go above and beyond to make sure you feel welcome. It is situated just outside of the busy gothic quarter so you can get a decent nights sleep in what is the second loudest city in europe! In a residential area so if your looking for a party hostel you'll be disappointed

  Cosy place in the heart of Barcelona

  28 May 2019

  I've been traveling to Barcelona and I stayed in this lovely hostel. The patios are charming, staff friendly and it's good value for money. Location central and you can easily walk everywhere. It was clean and easy to make friends
