  Simple but nice hostel in a very central location

  18 Aug 2016

  I travelled to Barcelona with a friend and we were really overwhelmed when we were looking for a hostel to stay, with so many options available. But we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived to the hostel. Our room was clean, bright and simply, but nicely decorated. It was not the most spacious room I have ever stayed at, but it was enough for us, as we only were there to sleep, walking around Barcelona during the daytime. Admittedly, the AC wasn't working, as other reviewers have pointed out, but that didn't bother us too much, as it wasn't extremely hot in our room. We didn't have any problems with the WiFi in our room. The reception staff were very friendly, helping us out with anything we needed. The location is very central, which was one of the main reasons we chose it, next to las Ramblas, la Boqueria and very close to metro stations. If you are looking for a simple, comfortable and affordable accommodation, I would really recommend this hostel! If, however, you are looking for a place where you would spend a large part of the day during your stay, maybe this wouldn't be the best choice for you.

  cheap and close to ramblas

  expect a really small room and tenuous air conditioning. The location is close to Ramblas but also close to one of the dodgiest streets of Raval. Staff is really kind and wifi is working pretty good. Desk open 24 hours.

  Cheap, and there's many reasons why...

  Great location. But room infested with moths, no air contionning, noisy patio with rude tourists, and very poor sound proofing. Staff doesnt really seem to care.Price is quite cheap. Might be interesting if you're not planning to have a good sleep.

  In the heart of La Rambla

  15 Sept 2015

  This hostel is clean and located in the heart of La Rambla. Many restaurants and souvenir stores nearby. Walking distance to a metro line, the Aerobus (airport bus) and Hop on Hop off bus stops at Placa Catalunya, Paseig de Gracia, and the coastline. The only negative feedback is the walls are thin. The guy above me had his music playing and the beats could be heard. This could be a problem for light sleepers.

  Good, but no air conditioning

  02 Sept 2015

  Very nice staff, rooms are clean and the location is perfect if you are visiting Barcelona (literally one minute from the Rambla). However, the reason I only give two stars is due to the centralised air conditioning. I stayed at this hostal in August, but they turned the air conditioning off so during the day I couldn't have a siesta due to the heat. I find it ridiculous that in mid August they didn't turn on the air conditioning ng even though it was 35 degrees celcius. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUMMER!
