To get things started, let me explain who I am. I am a 21 year old solo female traveler. I have been to 14 countries and counting. I have stayed in friends homes, apartments, hotels (3 stars and up), hostels, and B&B's. I really liked my time at this hostel because it has an excellent location and dinner was FREE every night! Yes, you heard me! There is a flyer on the community board that directs you to ask the reception desk for a dinner voucher to go to the Travel Bar and get a good, hot meal. You are entailed to as many dinner vouchers as you like. The only catch if that you have to pay for your drinks and it is only accepted between 7pm-9pm (all f this is written clearly on the voucher). It is very close by and I really enjoyed my time at this bar. One of their branches has excellent happy hour specials so you can hang out for happy hour (5pm-7pm) and then enjoy a free meal! There are free walking tours that leave daily from this bar as well; which I suggest you take advantage of because the guide I had was well informed and friendly.
The location is perfect because it is a few minutes off La Rambala so you are away from the loud, tourist trap center. The street which you walk to take you to La Rambala has a metro stop at the corner to take you all around the city as well, in case you want to go visit Park Güell and Sagrada (do it). You can walk to the beach without a problem and you have a food market right next door to the hostel, so you can pick up cheap meals here. The breakfast deal served here is AMAZING! SO delicious and cheap. There are very few restaurants in the Barcelona city center that are not rip offs. Besides the food market, I only found two good restaurants (both in food quality, quantity, and price) thanks to some friends I made who are locals. But there are many quick places to grab a bite to eat that are fairly priced if you look hard enough.
In addition, the room itself was not that memorable. There was just a double bed, a sink, a mirror above it, a wardrobe, and a nightstand. It was pretty small but had a window (to the interior space between the buildings- which is common in Europe). The bathrooms were very clean and there were so many of them! It was a good value for all that was included and the location is perfect. I would definitely come here again!
