I have the most positive experience of staying at Mambo Tango! First of all, it was thanks to the super friendly and helpful administrators available 24/7. The hostel’s location is great, close to metro, cable car, within a walking distance to the main sites. The bed was super comfortable and neat, and you could have privacy and uninterrupted sleep with the curtains that make your bed your completely personal space. Air conditioning worked perfectly. Showers were probably quite small, but it wasn’t a big deal. There’s a large living room to hang out and a kitchen equipped with literally everything downstairs from the reception. You can have a coffee/tea/water any time; and filter coffee was sooo good! Moreover, they serve a complimentary “small” breakfast every day which is more than enough - coffee, milk, toasts with jam, fruit, various pastries… I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back!

Just one thing to add - would be nice to have place to hang the clothes and towels to dry

Cosy rooms, curtains on beds give privacy, locking drawers, lamps and little shelves above each bed, AC keeping the room fresh, free breakfast, tea/coffee with different types of milk, kitchen, laundry room, little courtyard, friendly and welcoming staff always at reception, nice location

Cleaning of bathrooms is not bad but it’s not great either, some hair was stuck on the shower door a few days in a row. Also the shower turns off almost every 10 seconds (due to drought in the area), so it’s really hard even to put soap on yourself before the water shuts down again. I understand needing to limit the water but I think 10 seconds is insane, should be at least a minute or 30 seconds as a bare minimum, it’s impossible to wash hair. Also would be great to have a little shelf on the bathroom wall opposite the shower, not just the hooks (to put your telephone, etc)

Thank you for hospitality, Mambo Tango @mambotangobcn ! I enjoyed each second! Great hostel, many tourists attractions are located on a walking distance (okay, I walked daily an average 30 km lol however nearest metro 2 minutes walking for non walkers, clean bedsheets, clean towels, free coffee & tea, good shower rooms, clean toilets, cute small delicious breakfast, very comfortable resting room with variety of games and great music, very helpful employees at the reception, safe and secured place with the same safe neighbourhood regardless the time of the day or night, comfortable female dormitory where each bed has curtains - electrical plug - lamp - secured luggage place, especially grateful to your amazing receptionists for supporting me after I returned very sad from Barca Vs PSG game...I am giving you 10 stars from 10! Moltes gràcies! 👌🇪🇸♥️

Very helpful staff, especially Abraham from the reception. The number of bathrooms is enough, hairdryer available, small breakfast and tea/coffee available in the morning, you can rent lockers to the storage space under the bed and towels. The localisation is great, with metro station nearby and relatively close to the beach and attractions.

The facilities look old and could use some renovation, the beds in the room I stayed in were metal and produced noise easily. On the side note, people I stayed with in the room constantly opened the balcony for the night and the placement of my bed made the cold air from outside flow despite having the bed curtain shut, so I caught a cold, luckily only on the last day of my stay.

Conveniently located near the bus line and the metro, with plenty of affordable restaurants, bars, and grocery stores nearby. Rooms were very clean and the common area was comfortable and had a fun look. The free breakfast was a nice surprise as well. The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. My towel blew off the drying line outside and the staff washed it for me and loaned me a towel for free while it dried.

If you are in one of the bunks close to the door, it's a little tight when people are coming in and out and you're using your storage drawer. It was also pretty warm in our room overnight (we stayed in early May) and we couldn't agree on keeping the balcony door open because of the noise from the neighbors. A small tower fan might solve this?

Good service. Nice people in general.

Last night I had was my only horrible night at Mambo Tango. I had to catch a flight in the morning, but 5 young guys checked in the 6 people sleeping hall I was in, who were kinda loud, smoked weed at the balcony, just kinda annoying in general the whole night. I didn’t do anything about, I just led Them have their “party” and was just happy not to spend another night in the same hallway as them. I just wish they could have got a room for them selves, but maybe that wasn’t an option. I will feel sorry for the person who checks in to get my bed.

Mambo Tango exceeded expectations! The reviews were lower than some of the other hostels in Barcelona so I was hesitant but it was better than all the reviews made me expect. We had a really nice private room that was clean and the bed was comfy. The continental breakfast was great and unexpected because the listing didn't include breakfast but the continental breakfast was as nice as the breakfasts we had at places that listed breakfast included. Also the location was perfect! It is a 2 minute walk from a really cool restaurant lined street and right next to the smallest bar in Barcelona! The staff were very nice and accommodating.

Everything went so smoothly! Nothing I didn't like.

Location of the property was great, near lots of public transport making it easy to go sightseeing Was a quiet hostel my room wasn’t filled only had four other girls in which was great. Free WiFi works amazing from room three and staff were lovely giving recommendations and felt safe at all times there. Great as a female solo traveller.

Metal frame of the bunk beds very loud, storage locker is underneath the beds this would be useful having these separate as they are very loud opening and closing and can disturb others. Room can be very hot at times and we had a little door you could open for fresh air, only issue with this is neighbours are noisy at night think. Better solution like a fan or air on would be useful as it was only May can’t imagine the heat in the summer.

Outstanding cleanliness. The friendly environment, the reception staff and the management are worth mentioning: they pay special attention to the guest's comfort and provide excellent care for their needs. As a returning guest, I am very grateful, and I wholeheartedly recommend this place to acquaintances and strangers, which is not 5*, but 10*! Thank you... I'll come myself, although unfortunately I don't know the time yet.

...maybe it's just that I was only able to stay there for a short time. A little bit expensive in season. It's hard to get a seat because it's almost always full, so popular😅❤️

Location is awesome: close to the metro, with a supermarket, a fruit/vege shop and lots of eateries nearby. A really popular tapas bar is only a few doors away. The staff are really nice, helpful and welcoming. Our room was private with an ensuite shower and toilet, it is down in the basement so was very quiet. Breakfast was a bonus, there was juice, tea/coffee, croissants, toast and butter/jam options, and even apples. Great facilities for the money!

Being in the basement, our wifi wasn’t great, and the laundry next door was louder than we would have liked. The private room opens onto a small courtyard and a common lounge/ kitchen, you need to be careful that your travel companion doesn’t open the room door when you are changing or coming out of the shower.
