I had an amazing stay at the hostel! I went there with my friend and we stayed 2 nights, it actually exceeded our expectations.
The room was very clean, we chose a 6 bed female room, we had a private bathroom and a cute balcony.
The place had a computer room if you want to go study or work from it, a TV room for chilling, and multiple common areas.
The staff was really nice and friendly.
I met some incredible people from all over the world, it was a very nice experience.
The hostel is very well located, near to shops, restaurants, bus stations....
I would definitely come back again on my next trip to Barcelona, and I highly recommend it to anyone planning to visit this incredible city!

Staffed with fun people but not all are courteous or mindful of their duties while working.
Had two service failures and an incident where Gian Franco went out of his way to insult me. The bathrooms were not clean.

Firstly they have a system where the front desk has to manually turn off the lights at 11pm. First night I was there I asked them to turn it off as it was past 11 and also asked them to manage a situation where the girl in my room was vaping. They asked for the bed number which I provided but I received no reply on messages and no follow up on this matter.
Second night I had to go back to front desk again and ask them to turn off the lights. At that time I said you’ve failed to turn off the fing lights twice now it’s getting a bit annoying. At that Gian Franco asked if I could next time be less rude. When I asked him what he meant he didn’t answer. In my mind I was just using the fbomb as a matter of expression and not at all to put him down.
Well it escalates from here.

He chose not to answer and explain his view point but rather stated that this shows how my country is and how people there are uneducated. He furthermore proceeded to cut me off entirely and said he’s actually not working. So I asked him why did he offer to help me or why is he sitting at the front desk if he’s not working. No answer but he started to talk to someone else.
I was tired and blown away by this level of aggression, I mean excuse me for being tired and using a few choice words in the process of explaining things, but the personal attacks by Gian Franco was unacceptable.
I do appreciate that the management who I contacted at HQ saw this and refunded the rest of my stay. Needless to say based on this experience I can’t recommend nor would ever stay here again.

All the rooms are different, you have to keep that in mind. In our room there was no floor drain in the toilet, only in the shower compartment, so the toilet floor was always wet from shower spillage. The room was spacious, though. Room 404 is the most spacious one in the whole hostel.

The hostel closes the doors to all the terrace areas at 9pm because of the neighbours. So there's really no place to sit and relax after 9pm if you don't enjoy the chilly and overpowerful air conditioning in common areas and rooms.

The rock theme is really nice and the location is superb. The staff was friendly and helpful.

The lights go off in the rooms at 11 pm so that partying people won't bother you when they arrive late. On some nights I was alone and went to bed earlier than 11 pm and would have wanted to control the light myself, but I slept pretty well anyways. I don't mind the partying, one should not choose a hostel if partying people bother you.

Now, the only thing I felt was really a huge minus was the pool. There was some kind of a problem with the water, the pool was closed almost during my whole stay of 6 nights. The pool was one of the reasons why I chose this particular hostel. Would have been a 4,5 out of 5 rating otherwise.
