Close to major attractions and shopping we found our stay there very pleasant. ##### Francis Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### James Aug 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location. ##### James Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katrina Oct 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Due to recent reviews we almost booked else where and I’m very glad we didn’t. The room was great and spacious with a private bathroom and small patio. There was even a fan put in the room for us which helped at night. The location was great ##### Katrina Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### shashank Oct 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Amazing stay ##### shashank Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Philip Jun 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Property conditions & facilities This is a very well located, friendly, clean hostel. The prices are high for what it is, but that is Barcelona prices for you! Surprisingly quiet given its central location ##### Philip Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debbie Apr 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping.

Staff are friendly, rooms are clean, location is very convenient, on a side street near Rambler. No air con, can be quite hot in summer. Rooms are on 3rd floor, no elevator. Not an ideal location for seniors or family with small kids. At night, the area is a bit noisy and you might not feel 100% safe strolling around. ##### Mei Chi Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erica Aug 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a great stay. Room was clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again. ##### Erica Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jason Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again. ##### Jason Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ella Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wouldn’t return Had a weird smell from walking in the door, very run down and no air con (not ideal in summer). The street it is on smelt like urine. ##### Ella Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Danny Sep 8, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We did not stay. The hostal's front desk is on a 2nd floor, no elevator but the escalator was acceptable. To go to the room we were assigned to, there was a narrow and uncomfortable escalator. There was no A/C in the room and no bathroom either. On top of all these inconveniences the area was bad an extremely unsafe. WE DID NOT STAYED AND ENDED LOOSING THE MONEY ##### Danny Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Tero Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities The location was great and the staff were very nice, welcoming and helpful. Reception was open 24/7 and cleaning was comprehensive. The room was quiet, clean and kinda small but works very well for two. Bed was large but kinda hard. Overall we liked our stay and would recommend this hostel for Barcelona visitors. Only minus side is there's no lift, so if it's hard to climb stairs you should reconsider, but if not, please go to this hostel! Greetings from from Finland! ##### Tero Stayed 5 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### SM Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Overall great for a few days of stay, but the water leaked through the wall and onto the room every time we showered. Other than that everything was great ##### SM Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Li Mei Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service, amenities It is situated in a continent place, easy access to everything, the metro station is just around the end of the alley,and the staff are friendly, showed me the way to get around to the bus stop. ##### Li Mei Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katie Feb 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Clean, good position, friendly A clean guesthouse in a good position just off the seaward end of La Rambla. The staff were very polite and welcoming. Even though I cannot speak Catalan or Spanish, and they did not speak English, we managed to understand each other! ##### Katie Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul Nov 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities It was very close to liceu metro 2 minutes walk 2 minutes to the ramblas and shops kfc and mcdonald's was 5 minutes walk the ramblas was very safe plenty of police walking about ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### David Apr 23, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Noisy until 4am ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Markus Nov 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Good location, only 3 minutes away from the Ramblas and just 10 minutes away from Plaza Catalunya.Clean place, good price ##### Markus Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingibjörg Oct 29, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good Good for short stay near the Rambla.

Didn’t even end up staying there because didn’t know if our room was even still available or could get a late check in. No communication. ##### Robin Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Brent Oct 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Room and washrooms were kept very clean.
