Liked: Good kitchen and 24/7 check in which was helpful
Disliked: Staff very unhelpful and charged my card the day before we arrived and then asked for cash when we arrived. This situation took over 24 hours to solve and I was around £13 out of pocket at the end because of the way that the hostel charges a card without your permission despite no wrong doing on our part. We were also shouted at whilst showering for being in there for too long despite only taking 5 minutes each.

Liked: Very helpful staff, clean rooms, nice showers. Close to the main train station (Barcelona Sants) and the Plaza de Sants metro stop so access to the centre was easy.
Disliked: Rooms were very hot as air conditioning only works if the windows are closed which we weren't aware of on the first night.

Liked: We needed something cheap and close to Sants station so this was ideal in that respect. The room was clean enough, and the shower was good. There was also 24hr staff at reception, and no way anyone could come in unseen, so we felt secure. The Internet was fast. And although we arrived early they let us put our suitcases in the (yet to be cleaned) room.
Disliked: I thought I had read that the staff spoke English but when we arrived an older lady was on the desk and we really struggled to communicate with her. We had very broken Spanish, and she spoke in long, fast and complicated sentences. Often including a lot of detail.There were 3 of us travelling but we booked 4 beds in a 4 bed dorm so that we had the room to ourselves. When we got to our room there were 6 beds, so we offered another 2 friends to join us in the room. Adding the 1 extra person caused a lot confusion because of the language barrier.The tap water was also scalding hot. Otherwise it was all fine.

Trip Type:
Beach / sunbathing, City break, Events / festivals, Partying / nightlife, Sightseeing & culture
Liked: If you're looking to get away from the touristy bits of town, this place is perfect - still with loads of interesting sights nearby, and close to a subway line if you want to be right in the thick of it, but otherwise nice and relaxing. It was clean, and the caretaker - a little old lady who spoke no English - was still very accommodating when we showed up at 4 and 5am on subsequent nights. Free lockers in the bedrooms too, which isn't always the case, and cleaned daily.
Disliked: Despite the welcoming caretaker, it would've been nice to have our own front door keys so we didn't have to wake her all the time (she seemed to be the main member of staff). The rooms were also only partially separated from each other - if you were on the top bunk, you could see into the other room - but this wasn't so much of an issue as it wasn't that busy anyway.

Liked: Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The receptionist even accompanied us to the nearest restaurant when we arrived around 11 pm. The room was very clean, everything is new. Nice showers. You can make coffee and tea for free anytime you like. Only a few steps from the metro station. 24h reception.
Disliked: A little noise from the street. Be prepared with earplugs. The hostel itself is small and peaceful. The room may get a little warm during the sunny days.

Liked: Location: close to Camp NouStaff: 10 out of 10!!!! They were very accommodating (allowed to leave my luggage before and after check in/out, allowed to order a parcel to be delivered to the hostel, offered free coffee). Many thanks! Made me feel like a valuable guest.Fast WiFi (free)Area with TV and sofa
Disliked: Walls were quite thin, you could here people from the nearby rooms quite well, luckily for me those people were not noisy or anything like that but if they were, earplugs are a must.
