Actually only the breakfast, it was one of the best (hostel type) breakfast buffets that I have experienced among hostels in west and east europe. The rest not so good, for 8 Euro more I found two days later a 3 Stars hotel thousand times better than this hostel. The Value for money it outside any ratio for this hostel, the amount of people, the noise, the bed distribution are not worth its price. Additionally you have to pay for everything there, everything...sheets, blankets, everything for additional money although one bed at a 12-person room costs already 17,50 Euro. I do not recommend this hostel, better look for something else for the same price, and believe me, there are better things for this price around the corner in the gothic neighborhood in BCN.

I liked how the hostel was placed in the Gothic precinct, as it's a unique area where you can wander throughout the cute little shops that are so close to the hostel. I also liked how the staff were quite friendly, e.g. I had asked where the best spots were to explore and they told me all the ideal locations without hesitation.

I absolutely loved staying at the gothic point hostel. There is a roof top terrace and ''chill out'' room along with the downstairs lobby that makes it really easy to get to know people. I shared a room with about 10 other people but the curtains around the bed gave me A LOT of privacy, it was like having my own private room. It is a very fun atmosphere and the free breakfast is really nice to start the day with. The location is right next to a metro stop and a ton of bars, shopping, grocery stores, sights. I don't think I would have stayed anywhere else. I loved my visit to Barcelona!

The location is perfect, i wouldnt have wanted to stay anywhere else. It was in a safe area walking distance to many things. I wish that it was so expensive for a single room though. travelling alone i would want my own room beuase the dorms are loud full of ppl but they make it as expensive as a hotel so really... whats the point right! however they did make a mistake on my booking and i got a free upgrade to a single room and it was GREAT thanks you guys :) I would go back there again :)

The breakfast was good. fruit, toast, cereal, coffees, juice, muffins. the bunk beds were so unusual but pretty spacious - nightlights and power plugs. crappy showers, but didnt stay too long to have to worry about that. only stayed for 1 night, but 2 tours (flamenco/tapas and gaudi) were both cancelled. pretty nice in general. not many faults.

An excellent location. Great dorm rooms with plenty of privacy! Showers leave much to be desired.....very little water pressure! Breakfast good to keep you going on a day of sightseeing! Staff very friendly! Do not stay here if you want a quiet place to stay. Good fun for explorers.!

Awesome location, awesome facilities, awesome bedrooms. The best hostel I've ever stayed at, hands down. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Lots of privacy and lots of lockers for security. Really clean as well.

The location of this hostel is unreal. Right in the heart of the Barri Gottica and the Born areas. Across the street from the metro. Could not get any better. Also, the rooms are very nice; the one we stayed in (102) had amazing lofts and each bed had a curtain, bedside table/locker, outlet, and light - it was like having your own mini room. The privacy was great. Also, the bathrooms and showers were really clean and you could see the staff visibly cleaning the floors, beds, and bathrooms everyday. In addition, the hostel had really great artwork and awesome atmosphere, as well with flyers everywhere of fun things to do and sights to see in Barcelona. It was really helpful. In addition, the staff was really helpful. I would absolutely recommend this place.

Has everything on offer, great location, kitchen, internet, breakfast, big dorms with privacy curtain- only down point are the floor boards as they are very noisey to walk on. Staff we're great, very helpful. Security was the best have seen yet- they check ID´s on entering each time.
