  I recommend this hotel! Location is great, 7 min to plaza Catalunya, everywhere is near, rooms are clean. Bathroom is on the corridor but that was not a problem. Stuff is really nice and helpfull. You can rent a bike.

  Excellent place if you are on a budget and looking for a place just for sleep near La Rambala

  23 Dec 2019

  Location (One reason why I booked this space despite limited facilities ) . Excellent location (La Rambala- 10 Mins walk , Metro- 300 meters , Barcelona cathedral and most of the attractions - Around 10 mins walk , sagrada familia - Walkable distance\or 10 mins metroReception :- Really good (I remember the italian lady and English guy , third lady I dont remember) . We had an issue with bed sheet (not sure if its bed bug or som other allergy) , But on request with in few mins they solved the problem for us . And also they were there for us for suggestions or help :)Breakfast :- I''m not saying its mind blowing . But Not sure for this price you will get a breakfast for a couple anywhere in Barcelona :) (Bread , eggs , croissants(more like bun though), milk juice, cheese\Ham)Kitchen :- Full equipped kitchen and they provide all utensils and basic grocery which was very helpful (rice :) , pasta , salt . pepper , oil and basic seasoning/ masala. Really thoughtful :)Note :- over all if you are on a budget and you just need a place to sleep in night , 100 percent recommended (Area near La rambala is repetitively expensive for obvious reason). If you look for a comfy place to sleep and spend lot of time in your room , they look else wise :)

  Had to sleep first night on a hard kitchen floor

  16 Aug 2019

  My visit was ruined by miscommunication about my arrival time. When I originally booked in March, I noted that the reception closes at midnight, so I began to cancel my reservation, but was contacted by the staff (Sandra) who assured me they would wait for me until 1 a.m., since my flight would arrive at midnight. I provided flight details at that time. My Hostelworld booking showed the 0100 arrival time. Their computer records showed 2200 on their screen.I ended up having to sleep the first night on the hard kitchen floor of the commons area, using a laundry bag for a pillow. If not for severe thunderstorms, I might have left and tried to find another place even at 2 a.m. Although I was able to get into the building by a helpful neighbor, and into the commons area of the hostel because that door was left unlocked, no one was present, and no note was left for me explaining what to do. I called and texted the hostel phone starting at 1 a.m., but got no answer.To be fair, the hostel had tried to send me a couple of emails and even to text the day of my arrival, but the emails got lost along with 500 others in my spam folder while I was on vacation, and the text (ATT service) did not arrive until 2 days later. I had emailed them with a reminder the day before my arrival, but my message somehow also did not get through. The hostel did provide a 20 Euro discount, but no amount of compensation would fix the worry, inconvenience and discomfort of that first night.Good features: a generally good location, about 5 blocks from public transit, with busy car traffic by day, but the street seems a bit abandoned at night. The bathrooms and rooms were spotlessly clean. I did see one roach in the kitchen, but in a humid, hot environment and old building, that is not a big deal. Wifi worked well. Breakfast was sufficient, including a boiled egg, a packaged croissant, cereal, milk, juice, jam and tea.Bad features: no air conditioning, which makes the rooms practically unusable for sleep during the 90 degree weather of August. My pillow became a soggy sponge. Hot water was uneven in the shower. Not much interaction in the commons area, which is small with hard chairs.

  Value for money and centrally located

  28 Jun 2019

  The hostel was centrally located near Placa Catalunya, walking distance to Casa Batlló, La Ramblas and Mercado de La Boqueria, etc. It is situated near 2 subway stations, Passeig de Gràcia and Pl. Catalunya. The staff at the reception was very helpful and speaks very good English. Free breakfast is provided - boiled eggs and some toast with jam and packaged croissant with coffee. We stayed here for 2 nights and noticed the rooms and toilets are very clean. I would stay here again next time I am in Barcelona.
