19 May 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Great staff, nice clean looking place

Disliked: A bit far from Center but still worth it

17 May 2012 Ganna would recommend this property

Liked: I have so many amasing memories about this hostel! It's a nice place to stay. It's easy to reach by a metro (will take you 10 min from the center). The staff is nice and very friendly. They will tell you what too see in Barcelona, how to reach an airport, shops, public transport - you can ask for any help. It's clean. The music is playing all the time, so you are in a good mood:). You can cook simple food in the kitchen. And I hope you will meet interesting people in the hostel as I met! I had so much fun there!

Disliked: There are small drawbacks. But if you are simple person, they won't bother you. There is no cooker in the kitchen, there are only a microwave and a friture there. But we managed to cook some spaghetti in the friture :). Just relax and make things easy

Liked: It was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The kitchen was bright and clean.

Disliked: The location is pretty out of the way, it is close to the Metro but that's an added expense. The hostel outlined a free breakfast, which wasn't included.

07 May 2012 ashley would recommend this property

Liked: Great location to get a taste of the living in Barcelona. Close to the metro and a nice walk to Park Guell. Near enough to the center of the city but far enough to still enjoy the piece and quite, yet still central with lots of cervezerias and restaurants opened til late night.

Disliked: Overall I got my moneys worth and it was a positive experience.

11 August 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: It was easy to find and near a train station. People were very friendly to help us find it

Disliked: Because you can't wash ur own clothes the cleaner does it, it cost 8 euros which I think is too expensive. Also as the rooms were mixed we had a really creepy guy staying in our dorm, but u can get them anywhere

10 August 2011 GEMALI would recommend this property

Liked: I love staying there! Arian and his sister are really nice people. Unlike other hostels I've stayed in, here they don't offer you breakfast. You have to buy your food and there's a kitchen where you can cook it. But it's actually pretty cool, it makes you feel like home! The kitchen is more like a "common space" where you can meet a lot of ppl. I did... Gemali =)

Disliked: It's not exactly near down town. But it's perfectly reachable by bus or train.

11 July 2011 Pamela would recommend this property

Liked: We liked that it was quiet so we were able to sleep. It was close to a metro station and they gave us a map and even told us where to go.

Disliked: we did not like the hot plate that served as a stove. It was better than nothing and got the job done but it wad not the easiest to use.

10 July 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Friendliness of staff and other travellers

Disliked: Difficult to find a place to study sometimes.

06 July 2011

Liked: the kitchen was good so you may cook your own meals

Disliked: There are a lot of things that I didn't like about this hostel. First of all, the staff was totally unfriendly and rude, they have this hostel specifically for making money and not because they enjoy in it. Secondly, the internet was crap and it was available only in the lobby where they kick you out if they feel like sleeping in the only couch available. If you stay here, you will be warned many times not to be loud although the staff and the fridge in the lobby make more noise themselves. The rooms were really hot, there were only three plugs available in 16 bed room, "air-conditioners" were occupying two of them. And lastly, you cannot feel safe in this hostel and you need to carry your stuff with you all the time. Totally not worth the money, please avoid!

06 July 2011 mehtap would recommend this property

Liked: When i got off metro i just ask to first person i've seen on the way then it was very easy to get there. So it is bette to ask somebody after metro. I like the stuff and cleanliness. I really liked the room which included kitchen and rest room.

Disliked: I didn't like beds :/ not very comfortable and not very high bunk so be carefull not to crash you head. Also because of the noice in the kitchen it was hard to sleep. But after closing the window it is ok. I stayed in june so the weather was a bit hot to close the window.
