Liked: It's a nice little cozy hostel to bring your family or girlfriend, it is about 15 min walk to placa catalunya and 3 min walk to first metro station. Staff is very friendly and helps you if needed. Hostel has a free wifi (now-days it's very important)

Disliked: If you would like to party or meet people this is not place for you, walls are very thin (and you can hear couples enjoying their trip :) ). there is no lift so you have to climb very steep stairs with your luggage

Liked: The location was not bad, within short walking distance of metro and Plaza Universitat and Catalunya. Clean and spacious shared bathroom. Friendly and helpful staff. Safe place to stay as there are several doors to go through and someone is there 24/7. They ask you for your name before they give you your key. The neighborhood is not bad with lots of shops and restaurants around. Safe to walk at night. Good internet connection.

Disliked: Our room was very tight. 2 single beds, one sink, one fan and a TV: that's all there is and that's all there's room for. No air-conditionning! Difficult to sleep at night when all you have to cool you down is an old fan. No elevators (annoying to carry your heavy suitcases 3 sets of floors)

Liked: Great hostel and I think that really get your moneys worth however there isnt a community feel so you would want to already know places to go out and drink if thats what your looking for. Also note that there is no kitchen so becomes a bit more expensive not being able to cook meals. Great location though and really quite and clean rooms. Good for couples or backpackers that might somewhere a bit quiter in a very busy town!

Disliked: A kitchen could be nice but not everything is always going to be perfect!

Liked: great room with a big balcony and even a tv (which we didn't use). Clean

Disliked: Fire stairs outside of the balcony made it a bit unsafe to keep the balcony door open for v entilation when we left the room.

Liked: Location

Disliked: The rooms are divided between 'superior' and 'economic' class, with only the 'superior' class rooms seeming to meet the standard as suggested by the price and two-star rating. For an 'economic'-class room, with no private toilet or shower, no fan or airconditioning and a downstairs internetconnected computer that can only be used at an extra charge, the price seems to me too high.

Liked: It is very central (aprox. 8 minute walk to the Rambla, but also close to the less touristy small streets with nice bars and good food. Close to metro and bus. 2 stops away from the beach. Very helpful staff, very clean rooms with a fan and a balcony, this is not a loud party hostel, but not empty or boring either. I really liked it and would definitely recommend it to my friends.

Disliked: nothing to dislike here..

Liked: This was the best hostel I have ever stayed at. Great location, easy to find, the rooms were better than hotel rooms with air conditioning, flat screen tv, amazing shower.... Towels were changed every day and staff were extremely helpful. I couldn't recommend a hostel more!!! Totally worth it, specially with the price.

Disliked: Not to say nothing, there is no breakfast or option to have it in the hostel. Which is no the end of the world once there is a bar nearby that serves lovely morning Spanish bites.
