26 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great location- and breakfast and dinner is included! Very easy to meet people.

Disliked: No comfortable living space. Bar music too loud during the day and no plugs except on the main floor. Could not relax in the hostel and as a woman traveling alone- did not feel particularly safe .

Disliked: If you are looking for somewhere quiet, this is not the place.

26 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location couldn't have been better, and the atmosphere was great. It's bio on hostelbookers didn't do it justice, there was so much more included then what was stated. We got a free walking tour, and free dinner! I've never been to another hostel that's done that for us. It was nice, and super unexpected.

Disliked: It could have been a little cleaner.

24 November 2011 Nick would recommend this property

Liked: Its a party hostel so expect it to be noisy. We booked a 4 person room but were given a double which was nice. Breakfast is good dinner is better if you get in line first as its first in best dressed. The nights out were good as well as its good to go out with other travellers. Make sure ur around for happy hour - well worth it

Disliked: we had to wait an hour to check in at 3pm when there were 4 people waiting behind the desk not doing anything.

23 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This is the perfect hostel if you are looking to go out and party. There is a very open atmosphere making it easy to meet other people and it is in a great location. That said, with a party hostel comes people throwing up, smoking, and having sex in the room. All of the above happened during my stay. Choose to stay here only for your party nights and not your whole trip in Barcelona. Also, the pub crawl is only 7 euros ... and is only worth 7 euros, I reccomend skipping it.

Disliked: see above.

18 November 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Loved the atmosphere at Kabul= the staff interact with everyone staying there, Pub crawls are organised every night and also free dinners. The common area is set up so that everyone has to mingle which is great for meeting new ppl. Very much a party hostel with a great vibe.

Disliked: The only downfall is the beer on tap at the bar is awful and there is no other drinks available, but we snuck in some of our own, although they dont encourage this.

11 November 2011 Kevin would recommend this property

Liked: Free Breakfast & Dinner. Bar staff was entertaining and funny. Nightly club is always free w/ ur room key, solid clubs and saving about 15€. Really easy to meet people and have fun if your a single traveler.

Disliked: Mon pub crawl was quite worthless for 7€ to empty bars. Sometimes sketchy people wondering the hallways of our floor, but Barcelona is supper sketchy in general.

10 October 2011 Luis would recommend this property

Liked: It's so bad that was the second time I was there and I can promise you that whenever I stay in Barcelona, I will not have doubts in choosing this hostel.

Disliked: Nothing... The Hostel is completly lovely.

05 October 2011 David would recommend this property

Liked: Great location.

Disliked: Bed cleanliness is a bit sketchy. Beds are very short as well (ie. not great if you are 6 feet and over). The staff seems completely cynical of working there and not very willing to be helpful. And for some reason, the bar-loungy area really plays the worst music ever. From 80s soft-rock to questionable reggeaton to backstreet boys and spice girls marathon. You may find this to be an upside though. It's not a bad hostel, it's functional and well located, but there is definitely better in Barcelona.

04 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing for meeting other young travelers. Great place if you like the party atmosphere.

Disliked: You only get 30 minutes of free internet a day, and the rooms are a little prison-esque.
