    Great value, very safe and clean. Very friendly staff. It’s like living in a home so yes you can hear through the walls but that’s to be expected! I was very comfortable and really appreciate the air conditioning and the refrigerator/kitchen access. Very walkable location!

    Air con is very weak and despite being adjusted to the lowest temp possible (16C) it still couldn’t cool down even a tiny room, which remained warm and sticky the whole time.

    Excellent central location; complimentary tea in communal area (with an amazing selection of teabags including herbal infusions).

    Staff were friendly and helpful, basic room and bathroom, very clean. Location was very handy for buses and metro.

    Ok, so I am disabled and stairs are not my friend. There is a big flight of slippery steps to get up there. In both rooms we had (2 nights before a cruise and 1 night after) there are weird steps in the bathrooms and shower. My husband (not disabled and early 40’s) said it was pretty dangerous for anyone much less me. It was a very strange set up.

    The location was great for exploring Barcelona! It was worth the other stuff just for that!

    There was too much noise from the road at night hard to sleep. There was chemical smell in the closet couldn't use it for fear of smelly clothes. Space was too tight.

    It's proximity to metro. Nice mattress, absolutely great shower pressure. Cleanliness.

    Nothing.

    A very convenient location in a lovely neighbourhood with easy metro access to the airport and key tourist spots. The hotel borders the old city filled with pintxo bars and restaurants. It’s nice to stroll around the areas. Very good value for money considering how expensive Barcelona accommodation is. The two receptionists we engaged with have both been very kind and helpful especially as we do not speak Spanish. Even though the room and bathroom were small, they were practically laid out so that there was sufficient space for luggages.

    The only downside is that the walls are not very sound proof and we could hear all the noises from the other rooms, the hallway and the street.

    Very nice and welcoming staff. Neat and tidy room. Quite central position with metro station just a few minutes away and area served with many restaurants and stores.

    The only drawbacks are a small noise from the street, because the windows overlook the road. But generally tolerable.

    The hotel is nice. We had a room with a bathroom. There is not much space, but there is everything you need: comfortable beds (we had beds connected, because I was with my husband), a large wardrobe, a table, a shower, a toilet. Everything is very comfortable. I was glad that there was a kitchen where you could drink tea for free. We were also given 2 coffee capsules as a gift. The staff is very friendly. They speak English well. They met us, told us everything in detail and showed us. The room was clean and comfortable enough.

    Maybe the fact that there was no heat, except the air conditioning, which made the air a bit too heavy and not so fresh. But that is a general thing in Spain, they don’t really have radiators or so.

    The room was clean and the beds were very confortable. Its position is very good, right next to the Poble Sec metro station and 15 min away by foot from the beach or center. The staff was very friendly and helpful. It was a nice and convenient stay!

    Our room was little but it was okay. At nights because of the windows it was a little bit cold and loudy.

    We really liked the location. It is close to metro and in a very centered area of Barcelona. It was very easy to find the hostel. The personnel was nice and welcoming.

    Cheap location in the Barcelona centre. Near Stadium wich we were looking for initially as we went for a football game. Clean and tidy, staff very polite and kind. We weren't looking for luxurious place wich isn't, we were looking for a decent place to sleep. Worth every pence. Recommend.
