Basic clean hostel in a great location close to La Rambla.
Only issue I had is that they advertise free wifi in all rooms which is also posted on the wall at reception. Which was not the case. There was no wifi in my room.

Review of Be Mar Barcelona Hostel
Reviewed Oct 22, 2016via mobile
We stayed at this hostel for 3 nights. It was just ok, nothing special and for the price the quality of the rooms, showers, and amenities was lacking. The staff on the other hand was very helpful and extremely friendly. The area around the hostel seems a bit sketchy, but is always busy. We did not feel unsafe, and it is just a short 10/15 minute walk from most of the major sights in Barcelona.

Stayed here for one night as it was a good location (5-10 min walk from las ramblas) and cheap for Barcelona. Most of the staff were really friendly and helpful, and gave us lots of advise for going to the airport. The common room could have been comfier but we're still able to meet other travellers there. Had a pretty well equipped kitchen, just a bit on the small side. Wifi was reliable and available throughout the whole hostel. Good security with decent sized lockers and someone always on reception.
Downsides were the dorm was really cramped and smelt funny. Also they charged extra for towels, extra sheets etc and it wasn't cheap.
Would maybe stay again, but only short term

We arrived early but not allowed to check in until 12am but allowed to left baggage in a secure room. Me and my sister stayed there for 6 nights. They have free walking tours both in the morning and afternoon but we haven't tried it. They also have pub crawl for 15€, boat party for 70€ pub crawl included, mojito party for 3€. Our room was fully airconditioned though we had a bit of problem with the key card system and also the plug is far from our beds and is only 1. The common area is really hot no aircondition and also no TV but they have 2 sets of computers that guests can use. Really near to metro stations Parallel also near to almost everything.

We were a couple who booked a week at Be Mar's apartments which were perfect to us. It was small, but with a kitchen and own bathroom and toilet. There was clean and very good service, nothing to complain about. It's about 200 meters away from La Rambla but there was a bit far to the beach. We used the metro to get there and it was very easy and fast. We will recommend this apartment if you want to stay in Barcelona close to centrum for not that much money.

We found Be Mar to be our favourite hostel that we stayed at in Barcelona (we stayed in 3). Mainly due to the friendly staff, great common area which provided a place to meet people, and the location (being right amongst the interesting Raval neighbourhood.)
Although we didn't use it, the kitchen also seemed better equipped than other hostels.
Only downside was that the rooms could have been cleaned a bit better.
Would highly recommend participating in the free walking tours provided by the company that partners with the hostel, particularly the street style one as it revolves around the area of Raval.
