Guests like the communal kitchen and lounge, lockers, and available A/C, and several note late check-in. Mattress comfort varies, with some beds hard or extra beds poor, while private rooms feel more like a hotel. Expect a budget-friendly, sociable base with simple comforts and a few trade-offs.

We were arriving in Barcelona very late from our flight and needed somewhere with a late check in. We found this hostel and were very surprised how nice and clean it was. Highly reccomend staying here and dont let it being a hostel turn you off. We have a private room and it was great.

Pro: Good location. Kitchen has all needed utensils. Working air conditioner. Clean bedsheet and guest toothbrush. Contra: worst matress ever on the extra bed (in 3 bed room) and very small room for 3 (quite okay for 2 people). Uncomfortable and not so clean shower and bathroom and the room itself full with dust. No soap in the bathroom. Asked to keep for 5-6hrs our luggage (3 medium sized backpacks and 1 hand luggage) and were charged for it, which would he totally okay and even good option untill i witnessed more than 1 person kept their bags and luggage(more than 1 and for longer than 2-3 hrs) and they were not charged anything.

女性4人部屋に宿泊。・清潔さや設備は一般的。・ロール式の仕切りがあるのでプライベート空間がある。・1人ずつの大きな収納があり、全長158㎝くらいのスーツケースも余裕で入ったので安全も保たれる。鍵は自分で用意したほうがよい。・タオルを借りるには3ユーロ支払った。・最寄りの地下鉄へは徒歩10分。やや遠いが大きな問題はない。バス停が徒歩10分以内のところに約3 ・周囲は観光スポットではないが、地元民が暮らす治安のよい雰囲気でよかった。有名なスーパーのmercadonaやコインランドリー、カフェやレストランも近い。地下鉄で1駅でカタルーニャ広場などの主要なタオルを借りるには約3ユーロかかる。

Hostel tem uma localizacao muito boa, porém a infraestrutura da acomodacao deixou a desejar. O ar condicionado estava quebrado, foram informados por todos os ocupantes do quarto, a temperatura dentro da acomodação estava em torno de 26⁰C. Foi solicitado o reparo, informaram que o reparo seria feito somente na segunda feira. Nao foi oferecido outra acomodação, pois disseram que o hostel estava cheio e nem outra alternativa de hospedagem.Tive que antecipar o meu check out e ir para um hotel. Não obtive ressarcimento da diaria paga a mais, somente a taxa turistica de 5,50.

My First Hostel Experience – A Complete Nightmare This was my very first experience staying in a hostel – and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room. As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation. What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. I’m still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel. To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.

For just one night, the hostel was ok. However, the room was very small for 6 beds. It was impossible to use the drawer under the bed if there was another person in the bed opposite. The bathroom sink was also very small with a cabinet above it that made it difficult to use the sink. The room next to the kitchen was not very quiet, as people were socializing there, which is to be expected. However, there could be a time limit. People talking loudly almost midnight is not nice. Despite being small, the facilities were clean. The staff were very friendly.

This Hostel was clean and comfortable, and quite most of the time I was disappointed that, at almost 70 years old and having requested a bottom bunk, they were unable to oblige with this. The other difficulty I had may have been related as all communication, emails mostly, was done in Spanish, so I was unaware at times what they were trying to tell me. Now, that's largely my own fault, but they might consider using English as well, as this language is spoken world wide.

Rooms

Rooms and pods are compact with limited space, though bed comfort is generally acceptable and privacy curtains help. Noise from corridors or nearby areas and variable mattress quality (including hard or poor extra beds) are mentioned; private rooms feel more like a hotel.

En principe je devais habiter à l auberge . La veille de mon arrivée on m annonce que ma carte bancaire nest pas valide ce qui est etonnant puisque c'est avec cette carte j'ai payé par la suite ma réservation. On me propose une chambre privée dans un appartement a côté de L auberge qui coute 10 euros de plus. Une fois dans l appartement ,on me donne la clé pour ma chambre, la douche est normale, dans la chambre une fenetre a côté du lit qui donne sur un balcon ou tu entends tout le temps le bruit des voisins. On me donne un petit ventilateur qui un jour plus tard ne fonctionnent plus ,le frigo qui fait tellemrn de bruit que j ai du le débrancher. Pendant mes trois nuits j ai pas pu dormir correctement car il faisait tres chaud ,pas de ventilateur et je peux pas ouvrir la fenetre car beaucoup de bruits. Je suis rentré en France très decu de mon hébergement où jai payé 208 euros. Jai pas eu le minimum de sommeil tranquile .
