We booked a room for two single beds, and our room had enough space (1 double and 2 twins) so we enjoyed it. The pantry was a bit far at the end of the corridor but it was good we could use the microwave and electric kettles. The reception staff often changed, but they were helpful with everything that was needed. The location was nice, with all good places to eat, but there were lots of constructions going on and you sometimes suffer with lots of luggage. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

Nothing bad to say. This is one of the cleanest, well looked after prosperities I have stayed at. The staff and facilities are great and although we had a shared bathroom, it still felt like our own given how clean and spacious it was.

Excelente Hostal (pousada), proximo a zona turística de Barcelona. Fica a uma quadra da estação de metro Paral-lel, na avenidade de mesmo nome. Da para ir caminhando, tranquilamente, até o Monumento Colon/Porto, Las Ramblas, Mercado La Boqueria e Bairro Gótico. Quarto muito confortável, limpo e renovado, com frigobar e ar-condicionado. Banheiro privativo com box/chuveiro. Camas confortáveis. O prédio conta com elevador. Recepção/staff gentil e solícito. Região com varias opções de restaurantes, bares, cafeterias, trasnporte público. Tudo o que um viajante precisa. Excelente, nota 10/10.

The staff was great, hostel was clean, etc. Only issue was that it is located next to a large club that blasts music until late a night 3-4 days per week, which can make sleeping very difficult.

We were very pleased with our large open room. It was very clean, great furnishings and not what I expected for a hostel. There is major construction infront (Aug 2025) which did not allow taxi drop offs but a short walk from Parallel Street. Staff were very friendly, extremely helpful. Short walk to the metro (3-4 minutes) Would highly recommend if looking for a budget friendly option.

Nous savions en réservant qu’il n’y avait pas la climatisation mais un ventilateur Nous avons eu une chambre donnant sur une cour fermée en pleine canicule. Aucun air dans la chambre qui est montée à plus de 35 degrés !!! Nous n’avons pas dormi de la nuit et nous sommes parti à 5h30 du matin L’air était irrespirable il faisait beaucoup moins chaud dans la rue ! Seulement l’accueil était bien sinon je ne recommande absolument pas cette adresse Payer plus de 100€ la nuit pour une cage à lapins sans air c’est inadmissible

Easy to find from the Parallel metro stop. We were greeted by the kindest hostess – such a treat after a very long journey! The design is cozy, the bed is comfortable, and the small terrace is charming! It's the perfect home base as it's close to Blais Street and Montjuic, and it's relatively close to the Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta, and the Sagrada.

The big construction outside did not disturb our sleep. We got a double room that were bigger than aspected. Really nice room with good air conditioning. Big construction on the street outside was not a hassle for us. Some small problem with the toilet but it was fixed directly by the staff. Hands down for the nice staff. God value for the money.
