Liked: This Hostel is great - it's right in the centre of everything, and although there were 5 girls staying over the New Year period we didn't find the area to be unsafe at all. It's right near La Rambla, the beach and a metro station so everything is easily accessible.
Disliked: The 'common room' was lacking in atmosphere and amenities a bit, it could be made to be a bit more social.

Liked: The hostel is clean and the location is quite ok. The only bad thing is the female receptionist. She is the only bad staff. Some people from the other room did not respect others by making noise at late night. The area is a bit noisy.

Liked: I really enjoyed this hostel's friendly atmosphere! It had a great common room, with a tv, wifi, computers, travel guides and a well equipped kitchen. It was a great place to make friends but was also very secure and I was never concerned about my belongings :)
Disliked: Nothing comes to mind that I didn't like about this place..

Liked: Had an informative lobby area and nice common area in the basement. Free breakfast was nice.
Disliked: The dorms were a bit on the small size. Having one shower and one toilet for a floor is a bit ridiculous.

Liked: the neighborhood was cool. lots of Turkish and Indian places. and the hostel was clean--showers worked perfectly and all that. it was also close to the waterfront which was cool.

Liked: The atmosphere was really nice, I met a lot of cool people at the hostel. Also, it is right between La Rambla and Paralel so it is actually in the middle of everything. It had great food right next door, and the lockers in the rooms were a nice surprise, very secure!
Disliked: The only thing I didn't like was, despite being in a great location, the actual street the hostel was on is kind of shady. I didn't llike having to walk home by myself, but nothing bad ever happened.

Liked: I loved be hostels sound. The rooms had great lockers and were very secure. The bathrooms were great and the rooftop was amazing. The coco krispies at breakfast were a hit and the toast and juice was lovely. The workers were so nice and sweet. You really could go to them with whatever problems you had. they were all very knowledgable about the town and how to get places. I loved them the most. P.S.You have to be carfeul on La Rambla (street near hostel) there is alot of picpocketing there but if you keep your stuff close you will be fine. Fellas no wallets in your backpocets and ladies get a purse that straps around you.
Disliked: There was smelly starberry soap in the bathrooms. It was good that there was soap to wash your hands but the soap was not a pleasant smell. I would suggest bringing your own hand soap in your bag if you are big on hygiene with your hands.

Liked: The service was quick and efficient. Extremely clean, and great location across from the police station. The staff was also very helpful.
Disliked: I was new to the 8 bedroom situation, and the fact that there were much older patrons in my room. But nothing happened, so I got used to it... But it was still uncomfortable. I would've liked to know the current dynamics of my living situation once I'd gotten there. Also, there was no Wi-Fi in my room and not enough plugs either. It was really inconvenient to keep coming to the lobby to find service.
