It was a great place, safe and quiet. Only a few minutes from the metro and we were able to walk to most places, even to the beach! The place was also clean and had lots of room to put our stuff in. The kitchen area also allowed us to buy food and cook so we saved some money that way. There´s also a grocery store only a couple of minutes away. Definitely would recommend it.

This place is a clean, college dorm. The facilities are nice and new and we enjoyed the kitchen in the room. However, the rooms got a bit hot since there's no AC and the computers are outdated and s...l...o...w. The staff also seemed reluctant to help at times.

It has a great location, and the rooms are clean and the locks are very secure. There are lockers available if you wanted to store your passport, etc. although we didn't think it neccessary. It is nice and quiet, with lots of sofas around and a large computer room, pool table and football table. Very near to a supermarket, and the kitchen is fine, although no oven or microwave, so we had to fry some croissants! The only problem we did have, was that the rooms were extremely hot at the time of year (August), and we had a fan in the room which wasn't particularly great, so I would suggest booking an air-conditioned room, which isn't much more expensive. All in all, a great stay!!

Excellent place with outstanding value for money. Included in our rooms were kitchen facility and en suite bathroom.. and all for the price of a hostel room elsewhere in the city! Reasonably large supermarket nearby means you can pick up some local ingredients and make a meal at home should you wish. Also, excellent location for those needing to be close to Barcelona's north bus terminal. All in all excellent value for money, and would definetely stay there again.

It´s a calm and nice people, very well located. The only thing not so good, in the summer, is that the rooms can be very hot.

This university camp is close to bus station and it is located between two parks. In every room there are kitchen facilities so it is possible to buy half-ready local foood in nearby discount market and prepare the meal by yourself. Cheaper and taster. However it is about 25 minutes walk to Ramblas so the main atractions

The main asset of La Citadella Residence is its location. It is very easy to get there from the airport by train - just jumping from the airport train to the other going to Franca railway station. The hostel is in a close neighbourhood to numerous city attractions which can be explored from the place on foot. For those who want to travel to other destinations in Catalunya, the neigbouring Nord station is a start. The other advantage is the kitchenette, however it is time to replace the old kitchen utensils by the new ones. As the window must be open at night because of the summer heat and the lack of the airconditioning, it happens to be too noisy sometimes. All in all, it is still a value for money.

Great place to stay if you are travelling with friends and would like your own room. For the price of a dorm bed, you get an ensuite and your own kitchen in these university halls. It did get very hot at night, but I personally did not find this uncomfortable. If you are looking to meet people, it's not so great as you're not sharing rooms / facilities. It's within walking distance of the beach and the barri gothic. 5 minutes walk from arc de triumf metro station.
