First of all, it was my first time traveling to Barcelona and transporting to the hostel from Airport was very easy because of the central location of the hostel. Roberto and Angelica, the receptionists were so helpful, smiling and welcoming. They helped me with many things and take initiative about a problem with my check-in when they see my difficult situation. The hospitality was great since the beginning and until we left. Besides that, the room was so clean and bed was comfortable. Everything I needed was in there. I slept so well and I was feeling safe both because of the location but especially the trustworthy workers. Plus that, you can get coffee, tea and water everytime you need from the lobby and the Internet is powerful. They also have discount cards in the lobby for the museums and touristic places and thanks to them we saved 7 euros per person In Casa Batllo :)). The workers are willing to help and I think it is the most important part of the hostel choosing process because most of the visitors are foreigners and have minor and major problems. Since the place and people were safe, I wasn’t very scared about getting into trouble with my staying. Thanks a lot to the workers especially to the Angelica and Roberto. I will definitely choose to stay here when I visit the city again. -Zeynep from İstanbul, Turkey.
There is nothing I did not like about the property.

The bed was comfortable and I liked the view from our window. I liked the ample storage and how the shower had an interesting glass feature that allowed me to watch my child while showering. Their refreshment room was nice and I liked the green room too. There was a small kitchen with a sizeable shared fridge to keep food. I liked the location, being very near Poble Station and also surrounded by nice bakeries and eateries. The Receps and cleaning crew were wonderful and I appreciated their friendliness but only one was fluent in English but with Google translate, it wouldn't be much of an issue as the wifi worked beautifully.
The heating on the air-conditioner was not working and we had 2 of the Receps look in on it and one solved it but it went back to Sq 1 once we switched it off. They did manage to repair it by the last day of our stay but by then we'd learnt how to work the radiator and could rely on that. The beds were 2 beds pushed together. Lastly, the shower is small but for us it was fine, but those taller or larger may find it an issue.

Location perfect, next to metro stop just three stations from Rambla and Gothic quarter, on the other side a walk's distance from Monjuic, with lovely nature and views of the city. Also it has supermarkets, bakeries and pubs nearby. Staff are all very kind and helfpul, reception was always open throughout the day, we were also helped to leave our luggage earlier than check in and after check out due to late flight. Room was basic but very neat and clean, also it was tidies up every day which is phenomenal. Common area has a table with tea/coffe which is also All in all good value for money.
The only potential problem for light sleepers is poor sound isolation, it can be heard people walking or talking in the hallway, or the water running, but overall it's quiet and there was no noise in the quiet hrs.

The location was great and staff very nice. We spent 3 nights in BCN and as we wanted to see the city, the location was excellent, public transport on hand to the most visited areas and very close to the amazing port as well ! It was clean and quiet. There are many cafés in the area where you can have breakfast in the morning, too. For us it was very important that the place would be clean which it was. We were satisfied.
A con was a bit small double bed so we would just prefer two single beds maybe but my boyfriend needs more space everywhere. Anyway, we were ok and would come back just that in our case we would choose two single beds if we could.

We had a layover in Barcelona with an early flight the next morning, so it was a very convenient stay for us near Placa Espanya. The nearest subway/bus stop is just 3 minutes away. There are a few decent cafes/bakeries, 24 hour convenience stores and some Tripadvisor recommended tapas bars nearby. The furniture was basic and a bit dated, but overall it was clean and the windows did a relative good job of blocking out the traffic noise outside. The beds, towels, linens and shower were fine. Both the day and night managers were very nice and helpful.
basic and outdated furniture.

Great venue location and lovely staff, Perfect base to see all Barcelona has to offer from the big international attractions to the local markets, bars and restaurants that make the city so great. Strongly recommend visiting the local market at Sant Antoni for morning coffee and nibbles and the bodega down Carrer Blai both under 5mins walk.
My only niggle was the noisy pipes and thin walls, more than likely just the one or two rooms this effects, and as noted on other reviews ear plugs sorted this and the positives fair out weighted the negative.

For a basic hostal this was excellent, it's the second time I've stayed here as it is within walking distant to the stadium for concerts. The staff are bright and friendly and helpful. The rooms are small but equipped and the beds and pillows are very comfortable. All was tidy and clean. I will stay again.
It's a hostal so you get what you expect. There was nothing I particularly didn't like.

The staff is very friendly and helpful, Xiomara helped us each time we needed guidance and always with a smile, she is very sweet. The bed was very comfortable and the locations very clean. It is also very close to the metro station, which allows you to get everywhere very easily. I would stay again.
The bathroom was a little small.

It was more than we expected, room was cleaned every day Sheets were only cleaned every other day Room was clean, Airco and TV worked Nothing to complain about On top of it all, there is an excellente bakery just 2 houses away, to get a perfect coffee and/or breakfast
The shower was not so good because there was a curtain, so the tiled floor got flooded Water pressure was perfect though

For a Hostal it was great - comfy beds and pillows. The manager and cleaner were very smiley and helpful. The location was fantastic for anyone wanting to see a concert at Barcelona Lluis Company Stadium. Walking time was about 25mins but felt shorter. The metro is right opposite . I would stay there again.
The size of the room was very small and cramped, but then it is a Hostal so you get what you pay for, also it's on the main road so expect noise.
