30 April 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice modern building; dorms and toilets were clean enough; the common area was very nice with sofas, tables, bar, flat screen TVs, free internet access with wifi or hostel computers free to use, even a table tennis table! You could rent a bike for cheaper than bike rentals; staff was friendly enough. The wristband magnetic key that gave access to building, rooms and your locker was pretty cool as well.

Disliked: Dorms were a bit small, you could barely walk your way to your bed as the lockers left a very narrow space. It was forbidden to wash things in the bathrooms, you had to use the laundry machine (which of course weren't free), so I was glad I didn't have the need to wash anything which needs to be handwashed. A couple of my things went missing, but luckily nothing of value.

28 April 2011

Liked: the wrist band lock for room key and building entrance and locker key, I thought it was very cool and handy. The hostel staff was helpful to search a special direction of a bus for me.

Disliked: Location. There are far much better location hostels in the Barcelona city center, I have learned after this hostel, I wish if i had gone other hostel from the beginning, even though this hostel is decent and functional and sort of OK. Within its walking distance like 5 minutes from this hostel, there's nothing touristy or pretty. So, if you are so tired in the evening that no energy to take a metro to go to the touristy area, you get stuck in the ugly nothing special boring neighborhood (just local people's daily life area) or the inside the hostel. Their breakfast contained orange juice, which was made of artificial orange colored powder and water, and it tasted so terrible that I had to discretely throw away after the first sip. I couldn't believe there are people who still drink such unhealthy cheap fake juice. The artificial powder was a fact since I saw the staff making it.

Liked: If you are looking to meet people and socalize, this place will be great for you. They have a nice hangout area downstairs. They provided everything as advertised, so I knew what to expect when I arrived.

Disliked: Our stay here was okay. The rooms are tiny and difficult to move around in. If you are looking to get some sleep, you're at the wrong hostel. After staying at a few other places on our trip, I learned that there are better hostels

25 April 2011 Kristina would recommend this property

Liked: chip key when enter the room and safe lockers, location, just 1 metro stop from La Rambla, we were in the centre of Barcelona

Disliked: 2 people from staff was not really helpful, others were excellent Last day we left before breakfast (our flight was in morning) and 1 day before we asked for opening kitchen - (it is locked from 11 pm - 8 am every day). They opened the kitchen - I just boiled the water for coffee and they started to shout to me, cos I could take my staff from fridge only, not to boiled water. This thing we did not like at all - you can not enter to the kitchen from 11 pm-8 am - even if you have own food in the fridge.

22 April 2011

Liked: Location was good. Rooms a bit pokey.

Disliked: Not sure why this hostel is so highly rated, we stayed at anothen hostel in Barcelona that had a much lower rating but was much better. Great locations but think maybe some noisy travellers in our room ruined it for us.
