“Not for families and not great value for money”

The best

The location is very central. When you go in, the hall is rather impressive. The room I had was reasonably clean and had a sink.

The place is just an adapted apartment. The rooms are tiny and rather gloomy. If you are taller (say 190 cm), you probably won't fit, as the distance between the walls in your room might be too small. Acoustic isolation is non-existent, so you can hear people snoring, talking, coming back late in the night etc. The external bathroom and toilet is tiny, too. The toilet itself makes a noise like a starting jet when you flush and everybody in the hostel can hear it. The shower was tiny and covered with a disgusting curtain. I chose this place, because at the time, 94% of places in Barcelona in my budget were taken already. This one was not and it was it's biggest advantage. I can only say it's passable for solo travellers needing a place to crash at for one night. Definitely not for families with kids!

“Location, location, location!! 2 minutes walk to Cataluna Square and 5 to Rambla. This is basic accommodation - a bed, bedside drawer, private bathroom and a pretty decent fan. It doesn't promise to be anything more so on that basis I've rated it accordingly. My mattress was super comfy, bedding and towels clean and fresh, staff really friendly and I felt super safe. It was so quiet, I slept well. There's a lift to the hostal but if you don't like lifts its up a fair few stairs. I stayed in the single room with ensuite, but I took a peak at the balcony room which looked lovely and overlooked the leafy square. · Cons: Nothing. Would just recommend a fresh paint.”
