Liked: Martin & Hector!! They are the most excellent people: funny, kind and extremely helpful...morning chats, leaving breakfast out late, sightseeing recommendations, late night assistance, and other really nice things! The two of them alone would make my friends and I return to this place...(we are sad that martin only works weekends)...It is also a very clean hostels. Prime location at la rambla, close enough to the beach. Nicely decorated and full of good, warm vibes. If you stay here it is easy to make friends if you want... Stay here!!! No complaints!! My friends and I love this place!!

Disliked: If the hostel is full, getting a shower may be difficult. fee for leaving bags at hostel.

Liked: It had a good location and offered all the amenities you'd expect from an average youth hostel - lockers, warm showers, kitchen with public fridge. It was honest with it's description too. You have to rent sheets, but get a towel free.

Disliked: It was simply average. For the money it was a decent stay in Barcelona, without any serious drawbacks. The staff was kind but not extremely helpful. There wasn't an excellent atmosphere to hang out and meet other people, but you could sleep through the night without people being disruptive. I'd stay again but only because it was a decent place to come back after a day in the city. They did run our of sheets for us and only offered us blankets for the same price.

Liked: Very close to Las Ramblas and easy enough to find. The staff were helpful and very nice and welcoming. The kitchen is well equipped and almost always neat and tidy. Good atmosphere - its a relatively small hostel so people are more inclined to talk to each other. Lockers in all of the rooms for valuables. Great value for money and would recommend as a great place to see Barcelona from

Liked: i really enjoyed to be in this hostel! the staff is very nice and they all speak english and give you the information you need. me (and more 2 friends) we stayed in a room for 6 people. i never stayed in rooms like that before, but i really enjoyed it because it allowed me to meet people and make some friends ;)... the location of the hostel is really great, close to la rambla and close to the beach and you can easily walk to most of the places (they give u free maps); but...you shoul be carefull because close to la rambla there are many pickpockets...so, is better for you to carry only the necessary and boys: put your wallet on the front. is the only thing! the rest is absolutely great!! THANK YOU BARCELONA, we really had a good time!!!
