Diagonal House

There were lockers where you can put your stuff for free, the staff was understanding and patient even when I had trouble with payment. There was also a travel toothbrush dispenser next to the sink which I thought was pretty clever. The people I met there were respectful, and weren't too noisy, that really affects your stay at hostels and it depends on luck. Also, it was close to the metro station, Sagrada Familia, and famous houses which were convenient.

My bedsheets seemed to be stained or weren't cleaned thoroughly. The room is also divided by a closet which I didn't notice at first, but it makes sense because in the part I was staying at there were 6 beds and I signed up for more I think.

By far, location of this hostel is the greatest perk of living here. Most walks are under 30 minutes whether to Montjuic, the beach, or Sagrada familia. The farthest walk is to Park Guell, but that is farther away from the general tourist region. Price was another excellent benefit. Service is very friendly and accountable when they are there. The bedding is comfortable, contrary to what other reviews may say. The rooms can be cold, but there are blankets provided by the hostel which I did not use.

Wifi could not be used for work. Luckily, there are plenty of cafes available with great service! Baggage service hours started at 10:00 am and an early checkout means you won't be able to leave your bags for the day until you leave. Toilets were very crammed. The shower experience was alright but the bathrooms and toilets are housed in separate locations. Doors to rooms do not lock but everyone gets their own locker and key combo.

Great place for discovering Barcelona! Metro stations just 4 min of walk or nice 15 walk to Placa Catalunya. The first night we had a problem with the heater, but staff promptly answered my messages and solved the problem. Bathrooms were clean and the kitchen + dining room were really convienent as we mostly prepared our own meals. Really good place to stay.

Nothing was a problem, but maybe there could be a bit longer intervals for the light staying on in the dining room. Also the hostel is situated on the first floor without the lift, so be aware of it if you are traveling with large suitcase :)

The beds are comfortable, the staff cordial, the amenities in the kitchen and common room at par with other hostels. The toilets are clean and the shower pressure is wonderful. The location is ideal for a perfect walk about town.

The only reason this isn't a 10 on 10 review is because the lights in the shower area are motion sensing on the outside of the cubicle. So if there's no one outside while you're showering, the lights turn off in 30 seconds. Either you end up taking a shower in the dark or you have to awkwardly step out semi wet to get the lights on for every 30 seconds. This is an easy fix. The rest of the hostel is great.

Location was great, close to lots of bars and restaurants and transport options. Check in and out was easy. Shared bathrooms were fairly clean and we never had to wait to use shower or toilet.

It was very warm at night and only one small, mounted fan was in the room. We asked if there was an extra portable fan we could use and sadly there was not. We had to move my friend's bed so the air reached her and even then it was not a great solution. I can imagine in mid-summer months this would be even worse.

The location is perfect if you want to discover Barcelona on foot. You can walk to the Sagrada Familia, La Rambla and the Park Güell in under 30 minutes. The staff was also very nice and always responded quickly via WhatsApp. The bedrooms are large and equipped with an AC, so it doesn't get too warm. Kitchen, bathroom and showers are simple but offer everything you need.

The showers and bathrooms are very small, so not for people with claustrophobia.

Excellent location. Very, very large shared female room. Big lockers. Comfortable bed. Fully equipped kitchen is very convenient and you can save money by not eating out all the time. Toni is an excellent host. Homey atmosphere, very quiet. It’s like a large home in a stylish building: you get a key to the building and the front door, and you come and go as you please.

There was a very friendly dog called wilson who belongs to the staff. The staff service is very good and I book this accommodation in haste to get away from another accommodation and the staff replied me at 1am immediately. We like that the space is spacious and there is a little table in our room. We got the whole room for 6 even though we only paid the price for 5. The place is very clean and the location is near many food places, attractions such as Casa Mila, Sagrada Familia and Casa Batllo. The owner is very nice and told us we can deposit our luggage first in the morning because the room is not ready yet.

There could be bedside lights and a little table for glasses

I really recommend staying at Diagonal house, it is easy to move from this point, very close to the city center by walking and also a lot of bus stops and metro stations nearby. You get a locker included in the price which is perfect to have your things safe! There’s a kitchen that you can freely use if you want to cook or let something in the refrigerator, nice and friendly staff. :)

The reception was very good, warm and really nice! I was told all the information needed regarding my stay. It felt calmed, had a good rest, lockers in the room, excellent location, affordable prices and no problem at all.👌🏼

The building and facilities are kinda old, bathrooms are mixed and there are only 3. You need to pay at the reception around 7€ for the blankets if it's a 2 day stay, and towels not included, nor bath gel.
