Friendly and respectful staff. Central and in an excellent location, rooms were kept very clean before and during the stay.
Hot water was inconsistent. Walls were too thin, so the noise was too much sometimes.

I was genuinely surprised by this hostel—in the best way! I booked one of the rooms with a private bathroom, and given the price and central location, I was bracing myself for something more basic, like other hostels I’ve stayed at in Spain. But this place totally exceeded my expectations. The room was simple but spot-on. The bed was super comfy, and the bathroom was just right. The shower, in particular, was a standout—with proper hot water and excellent pressure. Such a treat! What really made it for me, though, was the balcony. It was spacious enough to pull a chair out and soak up the afternoon sun as it set over the street—just magic. And bonus: not a peep from other guests at night. It was incredibly peaceful, and I had the best night’s sleep.
Absolutely nothing

It was cleaned every day, bed was great and our room was looking towards the street (it had small balcony that was lovely) :) Tv worked and we had a small fridge that was useful. It was the room closest to the bar downstairs but it never bothered us because they had to layers of windows and music stoped around 12/01h depending on the day
The only thing was that Pictures of the room that we booked showed the room that was looking to the backyard and not the street so we expected that but nevertheless room was super

The room was quite small but clean. The building is old fashioned and not to fancy but it was close to the centre. The staff was super friendly and there are lockers where luggage can be stored before and after the check in and check out (they recquire 1E in cash to lock the luggage so have coins)
The drainage pipes are outside of the building and it is possible to hear other people flushing toilets/showering very loud at night when the windows are open...

The team is genuinely friendly and welcoming, making our stay very pleasant. There's a lift in the building, so no worries about stairs. The location is perfect—right in the city center with easy access to public transport. Most tourist attractions are nearby, and there are plenty of great food options around. Couldn’t have asked for a better spot!
The rooms are a bit compact considering the price.

Amazing location in Barcelona, room size was very adequate for 4 people, bed size was average for 2 people and we did not feel cramped at night. It was amazing to come in to fresh towels and our room being tidied every day after being out and about. Check in/check out was a breeze, helpful staff. Overall very good.

The room met our expectations. I like that it was not a typical hotel room you can find all around the world but had its own touch, very specific to Barcelona! Transport connections were good. Staff really friendly and helpful. Kettle and microwave oven in the hall.

Everything was as in the perfect photo and with many facilities nearby. I was only 4 minutes away from Sagrada de Familia by car. I am very, very satisfied with the service. I recommend it to everyone who wants an unforgettable experience in Barcelona. I personally will choose this hotel again when I visit Barcelona.

The most impressive part of our stay was the staff. We arrived before the room was ready, so they provided a lockable cabinet and put out big bags in a secure room. Everyone was helpful. When our room was ready a young lady carried a heavy suitcase upstairs for us. The evening call to reserve a taxi to the airport worked perfectly.
The view. However we were there to sleep so the view made no difference whatever!

The Place was Amazing, and our room was really nice and comfortable, the shared bathroom was immaculate and the staff at the reception was really kind with us and made a real effort to help us even if we were really early for the check in. It's in a really good position and with a twenty Min. Walk you're at the Sagrada famiglia, passing near Casa Batló and Casa Milà A lot of nice places to eat near-by!
