My friend and I stayed here for 4 days, we booked a private room with shared bathrooms. Very cozy hostel with nice staff, the only problem which is kind serious was that there was no air conditioner!!! We got two fans when we asked but it was 26 degrees at night still.woke up in my own sweat.overall nice hostel, but don’t book when it’s so hot at night.
The best location for first visit of Barcelona. Located within 1 km to Sagrada de Familia and Gaudy Houses.
The atmosphere and design of hostel is giving you an experience of classic Spanish houses. Staff is very friendly and helpful
The hostel offers a bag storage service which I used while I was exploring Barcelona.
They were very welcoming and although I was only storing bags, they made me welcome and gave me WiFi access and access to coffee and water. The building itself is beautiful inside and rates are reasonable. I would definitely stay here.
I finally stayed at this hostel after waiting two years (Covid) to use our credit. I had a private room with a private bathroom. Overall, I had a good stay and I liked the aesthetic/ decor but there are definitely things that could use improvement.
1. My room smelled like a sewer. When i finally complained, the manager cane into my bathroom/shower with his shoes on, poured some draino down the shower drain and said, "we have to run hot water in 30 minutes." Which meant I had to run hot water as I never saw him again. He told me the smell was due to the age of the building but I have stayed in nothing but old buildings in tve three weeks I have been in Spain and not one smelled like this.
2. The kitchen is really nice except it seemed to be as much for the staff as for the guests. One staff member cooked elaborate meals first thing in the morning every day. Not only am I vegan but I don't think most people want to smell frying chicken as they eat breakfast.
3. Most of the front desk staff were great but some had such an attitude.
I have noticed that if anyone says anything critical about the hostel, the policy is to say: "thank you and we hope to see you again" rather than addressing anything which is really bad form.
The hostel is super located in walking distance from La Pedrera, Sagrada Familia and other walks in the centre. The metro station is 3 min, so you can make trips easily. Also it is easy to reach from the airport. The hostel is clean, very nice atmosphere and friendly stuff.
