Liked: The staff was really friendly and helpful, and everything was clean. For security everyone gets these chipped wristbands which key into the main door, your door, and your locker. It's kind of cool. The hostel is really close to the Paral.lel metro station, however, walking around Barcelona isn't that difficult and it is actually quite nice.

Disliked: There is no oven in the kitchen, so making frozen food was a little difficult, but it wasn't a huge deal since the kitchen is stocked in every other way.

Liked: fun and friendly staff, looked enthusiastic even though it was mid-january and i didn't expect much to be going on. didn't have breakfast but liked having the option and it's cool that they don't charge for sheets and WiFi, that always comes off as somewhat greedy

Liked: The staff was unbelievably friendly! Forgot the name of the guy but he offered us so much information and was extremely helpful. He basically made our stay in Barcelona unforgettably awesome. There was free breakfast and free computer terminals for the usage of internet. You could also check out a headphone with a mic in it at the reception to use with the computers. There were only 3 computers available for use though and the hostel always had a lot of people there... especially at night so expect to wait a little while for the computer. Free WIFI is available though. It was clean and there were lockers in the room that were provided for us with locks. Luggage storage was available. You wlaso had the option of doing laundry there if you needed to. I think it was something like 6 euro for laundry.

Disliked: The first night we were there wasnt any hot water in the showers for some reason. But I think it really just depends on the shower that you choose so choose wisely or else youre going to be taking a cold shower. It was one of those kinds where you had the push the button every 30 seconds or so to keep the water on which sometimes got a little annoying.

Liked: Awesome place to meet People. Extremely helpful Staff (To that End, this goes to the Girls from the Hostel who showed us the nightlife, Ka. and El.), Fantastic Front-Desk Support who tirelessly put up with my questions and provided me numerous maps on demand. They have a common area for all to get together, with a Bar, which Serves Drinks in the Evening before the Night-Outings. Also the Manager, Danielle, is exceptionally hospitable and kind. Easily the best Hostel that I have stayed so far.

Disliked: The Music in the common are was repeated over and over and over and it became a torture after awhile if You decide to sit there and not tune out. However, they have the option of changing the Music, which depending on who´s @ the Front-Desk they may or may not do.

Liked: There were lots of things to like about the hostel! First of all the security, one of the most secure hostels I've been so don't be afraid about the shared rooms. Their common room is also fun as they have books and games. The shower also communal is very clean though. Just a problem with the heater because some didn't work. Staff is also great! They would really you with any questions and would even give great advice! Very very food for its value! Cheaper than most too!

Disliked: Just the heaters not working sometmes

Liked: Very nice, modern hostel. Friendly staff, and very clean. The staff arrange nightclub trups and day time activites to those that want to take part. The security is good with every guest being allocated an excellent locker, and a wristband key that opens both your dorm door and your locked. The hostel bar is very cheap, at 3 euros for a litre of beer or 2 euros for a sangria. Location is fine, next to a metro stop or 15 mins from Las Ramblas on foot.

Disliked: If you stay in the 8 bed dorm on the first floor, it can be quite noisy up to midnight as it is right above the bar. It is quiet after this time as most people go to nightclubs or bed, and the hostel bar closes.

Liked: I liked how helpful the staff was. If you asked where you could find something then they would know the best priced place to send you. I also like how each night they would take a group of people out to enjoy the night life. A great experience if you are travelling alone.

Disliked: The fact that you had to pay a 3euro rental for a small towel and that on the 4th floor washrooms only one of the showers was running hot water.
