Liked: Nice hostel, friendly stuff, clean and safe. Good location (Barcelona is not as big as it seems) and you can easily be in the centre by foot in 15mins. Good that you have breakfast included aswell!

Disliked: Although there was a common space, people didn't use it as much.

Liked: Good secure wristband for front entrance and secure lockers in room. Front staff could be friendlier to travellers, seems standoffish at times. Although the bar person Chad was helpful and friendly. Enjoy the party nights, they have each nights. Staff actually bring the group to the club, with free entrance from hostel. This was a great idea for people travelling alone to mingle.

Disliked: Had to pay for bath towel 4 Euro, this was not even mention during check-in. Shared bathroom showers could use some work, doors in one bath stall did not locked properly, had to jam doors.

Liked: From the moment you enter the hostel you feel welcome, staff is absolutley awsome - helpful and with good knowledge about the city, what to do and where to go. Nice and clean, good atmosphere and I liked the fact that you had your own locker in the room.

Disliked: The only thing I didn't like was that there were'nt any bed lights! Since people don't go to bed at the same time, and sometimes need to check in or out in the middle of the night, this was really frustrating.

Liked: goooood times. good location. briilliant lockers in rooms. excellent facilities. internet was also fine.

Disliked: Maybe more information about local gigs and concerts, cos apparently Jose Gonzalez was performing in Barcelona on Sunday and I would have LOVED to have gone. Obviously I should have done my research....but a little more info on bands and stuff performing would be greeeeeeat. :)

Liked: Staff is excellent - they work very good and are kind to interact. Safety was very good. And in general we are satisfied with what we got.

Disliked: -We liked the breakfast itself, but coffee not that much:) is it something wring with the coffee maschine? :) -There was an gym in option, but we did not use it (and would suggest to change it into some water-linked project (pool or bubble bath:) - only a suggestion)

Liked: Possibly the best Hostel I've ever been to, and I've been in loads, from Berlin to Prague to Madrid to London. Amazing staff, very friendly and helpful, Tejs and Chad are 2 cool lads, great for any advice or tips, and for taking the people on a night out to all the clubs :D Place was VERY secure, never felt that any of my property was ever at risk

Disliked: If anything I'd say the rooms were a little on the small side, but one should remember that you don't go to hostels to sit in your room all day. The common area downstairs is excellent, just use your bed to sleep.

Liked: It's location is really great; only two metro stops away from the Ramblas. The hostel is absolutely safe und is in an area where even travelers on a tide budget can afford a beer in a bar. The staff was really helpful. And finally not to forget the litle choco-biscuits that you get at the free breakfast ;-) I definetly would choose it again!!!

Disliked: You get to meet your neighbour even if he is in another room.(Really thin walls that seems to amplify the accoustic) But due to quiet ones that wasn't a problem at all.
