Liked: Very clean. Excellent for meeting people - party hostel! Good facilities and really secure rooms and lockers. Breakfast included!

Liked: Very friendly/helpful staff. The location is right next to La Ramblas and the metro station which is veryy useful! Although its about a 20 minute walk to the beach however its going past the port most of the way and so a very pretty view/ creates the warm atmosphere. The nights out with the hostel are also very fun which allows you to get free entry to big clubs and go to a bar together on the way.

Disliked: Nothing, it made the time I spent in Barcelona as fun as it was!

Liked: The staff was really helpful at every hour.

Disliked: Maybe the bedrooms were a little too small.

06 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great vibe, lots of fun.

Disliked: We got moved around and staff did not want to store our valuables when we had to move rooms which meant we had to check out of one room at 11am but not into another one until 1pm and leave our valuables not locked up or the day we checked out. But asides from that they were really nice.

Liked: I loved how safe it was, good area, the keys used for doors & lockers was cool. The common areas were good for meeting people. The staff were brilliant, some more friendly than others, but all nice & helpful. The cleaners worked hard, and were always polite. The tours recommended at the desk were excellent and the hostel-run excursions were brilliant, nice to not have to think about how to get to a place, just follow like a sheep for a change! When they ran out of bikes they recommended a great place for the same price for the day (but that place's advertising was wrong it was actually €5.90, but still cheaper than anywhere else!)

Disliked: It's a pity the kitchen was so small, it was a competition to get to the 3 ring hob. I hated the showers, having push button showers means it took twice as long to get the temperature right and be able to wash. The air conditioning wasn't turned on in the rooms for very long and when it was turned on, some idiots in my room opened the door, but that can't be controlled, annoying that if you're too hot in bed in the middle of the night you have to go all the way to reception (from floor 5) just to get them to turn the air con on, I wouldn't have got to sleep after getting up if I'd done that. While I loved the lockers, them stuck in the middle of the room was annoying, surely they could have been wheel out from under the bed style? Breakfast was a bit pants, not laid out well and mostly run out by 9.45.

Liked: I loved everything! It had such a great atmosphere and the people were awesome. They had a legit bar with cheap drinks for pregaming before the hostel takes you out to a bar to drink more and then to a club. Since you go with the hostel you get in without cover or waiting in line. Having them take you out in a big group makes the night really fun. I highly recommend you stay here if you plan on going out to clubs.

Disliked: Nothing!

01 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: - the possibility to rent a hairdryer and the girl working at the counter said, well, if you use it now, you do not have to leave money, bring it back to me when you have finished. - the location is good because the metro station is close and the metro line is a good one. you can go by feet to the harbour and the Rambla.

Disliked: - Value for money was good but as i stayed there in the high-season and for..9 nights, it was quite expensive for being a 4-person-room. - i did not like: the breakfast is from 8-10h in the morning, which is a good thing, but i stayed in the hostel because i was in barcelona to begin an internship and to search for a flat to live in from september, so i had to get up every morning at 6.45am to catch the bus at 7.45. when i asked one morning if i could enter the kitchen -which was closed before 8am- because i would like to put something on my bread- i was told by the employee that "if its closed, its closed." this was very bad and the next day, i saw a girl in the kitchen before 8am, which was even more disappointing. - that the internet did not work for some days and sometimes only on the basic floor, because i had to search for a flat via internet and really needed it.
