Very good location and safe location. Bathrooms and wc were cleaned every morning. Floor in the room was also cleaned every day. Stuff was very helpfull and friendly. Organized trips to local nightclubs, free entry to the clubs was also included. Breakfast was very, very nice. Dinners was included also, but "first comes first served"."Livingroom" is nicely decorated with dozen of pc with fast internet connections. Lcd televison and wall projector was also there. ertc, etc. Really nice place and definately worth the money. If I ever come to Barcelona again I'm definately going to stay at Kabul Hostel.

Kabul was in an awesome location it was right in the centre of town and was a 15minute walk to the beach. However, the room we stayed in was a 4 bedroom and was right next to the boys toilets our room stank and it was very noisey in the middle of the night when people were constantly go in and out of there. There was no restrictions on noise so pretty much people could do what they wanted whenever they wanted. Not good if you actually wanted some sleep. The rooms were very small and were air conditioned. There was no where to charge any electrical appliances in the room and you had to hand it in to reception to charge overnight. They did have a free dinner deal where you could get a simple free dinner if you were there by 8:30 and it was first in best dressed. The staff werent that helpful as we had to wait 1 hour and a half to check in as the guy in the desk wanted to finish off his paper work... Then proceeded to be quite rude and abrupt when we asked him to check us in. Everything was done on a ticketing system and in order to get anything like sheets, drinks, use the luggage room, use the washing machine you needed to have the correct change before using the ticket machine. It just created confusion and more hassle than it was worth. I would not recommmend this hostel, especially for the amount of money that you pay.

Las Rambas can be very dangerous at night. Be very careful at night for pickpocketers. The hostel is very loud but you meet a lot of people. They take you out every night and it's fun. However, I don't think I would ever come back. I like a little bit of peace and quiet sometimes.

Excellent location, very good breakfast and friendly staff. Good place to meet people, but like almost every hostal in Spain - no windows in rooms, actually there are windows but with no sky :)

free breakfast and dinner fantastic! but there was no consideration for anyone who didnt want to party all night every night. some people, as boring as it might sound would of liked to sleep well enough to get up and enjoy barcelona. people sat shouting in the rooms and corridors at 4 am every night for a week was poor and this should be addressed by the hostel.

Very good location. Nice breakfast + good and free dinner. Friendly staff and nice guests. The big rooms are very noisy and people can be very drunk and annoying.

good lockers. bar staff really friendly and out going, good trips organized each night (although mainly RnB - would be good to mix it up occasionally). behind the help/info counter they were less so, hot and cold, sometime very helpful and sometimes slightly intimidating liked the free meal each night, also the common room / bar it was served in had a really good atmosphere, good place to meet people liked the free 20mins of email per day really great roof terrace but closed at 8pm cheap beers but only beer, would be good to have some spirit mixers / wine really enjoyed the stay over all.
