Liked: The rooms were dorms but you still had your own private section with a curtain and little boxes that you could put a lock on. Female and Male toilets in each room. Clean. Showers were in a different room and were pretty small. There is a kitchen so you can cook your own food and the beach is a 5-10 min walk away. REALLY nice beach too, definately worth the walk. La Rambla is nice at night time. Staff were really nice and you had to show your key before they let you in so you felt pretty secure. There is a free walking tour too.

Disliked: The top bunk rooms are really high!! hard to drag your suitcase up!

Liked: Location.

Disliked: Internet at the hostel's computers is free just for 20min, than you have to pay. Not safe - stealing. Very poor breakfast - no toasts or bread - insteda of this you get crackers. More beds in the room, than mentioned on the webpage. You have to climb up the ladder to get into the bed - your feets really hurt. Not worth a money.

Liked: I loved being at this hostel because of the people I met, the recweptionists were all very kind and helpful... the way everything is well organized makes you feel at home. The rooms are nicely equipped and because of the walls between beds and the courtains you get to have your private space even if you re sharing the room with someone else... I have been to many hostels in my life from many different countries and this was defenitly one of the best... I m lookin farword to coming back!!

Disliked: the only 2 things that should be improved concern the air conditioning system that is sometimes too powerful and the floor on the 2nd floor a bit too crancky (noisy).

Liked: The terrace and location are good.

Disliked: The downstairs dorm rooms were so old and had fixed bunk beds which were very high up compared to standard bunks. The room was quiet but you could hear all the street noise. I've stayed at Centric point twice and other equity point hostels and was very impressed with them but this one was disappointing so I only stayed one night out of 2.

Liked: great place to stay in BCN. right in barri gothic, next to the big shopping streets but also in walking distance to some attractions! picasso museum, parc de cuitadella, triumphal arch etc. very clean facilities, and i liked the curtain by the bed, so you can also have a lot of privacy, if you want to. you have to bring your own lock and they only give you one sheet, so it was good that i had my own linen sleeping bag with me. over all i would definitely recommend this place to everyone who wants to have a nive stay in BCN! :-) it was awesome!!!

Disliked: they didn't serve bread for breakfast.

Liked: Every bed had it's own private section so even if you are in a 14 bed dorm you feel like your in a private room! Great airconditioning although sometimes it was a bit too cold! Good atmosphere and organized activities. Social area meant that you could meet lots of other travellers.

Disliked: When they make aircon too cold you have to pay to rent a blanket. They only give you one sheet when you check in.

Liked: Very clean, friendly and a safe and secure place with plenty of lockers

Disliked: Was in a bunk on a "mezzanine" level and was tiring to climb up the ladders with a big backpack etc. Would have preferred a bed on lower level or even a bunk bed.
