Superb location for using metro. Newly decorated rooms. Daily cleaned, staff super friendly at the reception. Accessible (yet in typical fashion a very small) elevator. Towels and soap given. Convenient stores, easy dine ins (local empanadas are fab, or coffee and more in 365)

if you are a light sleeper train noises is gonna may disturb you before they finish for the day. You can hear them at night and hear the shaking / but it didn’t bother me (similar to living near railway). Some of the decorating didn’t have practical thoughts in mind - like the light switches were too close to the pillows and can spontaneously turn on if you roll over at night. The shower head is fixed quite high with no middle ground.

We were pleasantly surprised, probably because the name Hostal suggests something less in Australia. Modern looking place with a clean and comfortable bedroom and a good bathroom. Wouldn’t want to stay in it for a week but perfectly fine for a couple of days.

Like so many Euro hotels, a kettle and tray of coffee/tea sachets just doesn’t come into their thinking.

The room was modern and well-equipped, with a powerful shower and a very comfortable bed. An extra blanket would be useful, as it was a bit cold at night. The hostel was quiet at night, though earplugs might help in the morning due to traffic noise. I stayed one night for work and would return. WiFi worked well, though I didn’t test video calls. There’s a chill area for working after checkout, which I enjoyed. A kettle is provided, but no tea bags. Plenty of breakfast spots nearby, and the train station is a 10-minute walk away.

What I didn’t like: one bed light wasn’t working, the shower door didn’t close properly, and it was a bit noisy, as expected. The cafeteria area is really nice, but adding cups and tea bags would enhance the experience.

We had a fantastic experience at this hostel! Everything was very clean and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable right away. The bed was comfortable and clean, and the room has shutter, so we can darkened the room very well. + There was always someone at the reception who could be contacted, The location was good — just a 15-minute metro ride to the Sagrada Familia, and the public transport in Barcelona is efficient and easy to use. Thanks to the great location, we also had the chance to explore some amazing local bakeries and pubs nearby, which added a lot to our experience.

If I have to say one thing, it's that the walls are very thin, so you could hear the street noise in the room.

Location is great and practical, two metro lines and couple of bus station right next to property! Hostel is really clean! Staff is great and approachable.

Wifi did not work in our room, but they were nice and offered a different room which we did not take because it was smaller. Also, there is no kettle in the room nor in the cafeteria, it would be really great if at least kettle was in the cafeteria so guests can make coffee or tea in the morning :))

Exactly what I expected, and maybe a little better. Clean, comfortable, with all necessary facilities. They provide good accommodation at a reasonable price in a good location. Two metro lines practically at the front door get you to the tourist hot spots in 10-15 minutes. Walking distance to Sans train station. Many shops, restaurants, bars convenient. My room had a/c and heat, although I needed neither. Plenty of plugs and very good lighting. My only slight reservation is that the walls are very thin…you can practically participate in next door conversations.

Thin walls.

The best shower I've had in a months traveling. Their concern for water saving. Their flexibility in combining my 2 separate bookings into one room so that I didn't have to move rooms.

The repeated request for days beforehand to precheck in , online, when it only took a few minutes to check in on arrival..

The area is good, located a few minutes walk from Sants railway, and with a metro stop just a few yards away. There are plenty of bars & restaurants nearby, as well as a main shopping street. 20 mins by foot to Nou Camp stadium. The rooms are small, but clean and well kept with clean white linen and hot showers The staff at 24h reception were helpful and friendly.

The shower curtain is a nuisance, as shower cubicles are quite small

Everything was good for the price. We'd definitely stay again. Desk staff was very helpful, stored luggage when we arrived early and gave us a room ahead of the check-in time. Our room was extremely basic, but clean, and nothing more was promised (no fridge or microwave, for example). Good location. Many nearby places to eat. Not a long walk (~800m) to the main (Sants) Barcelona rail station. Closer Sans Metro station had no elevator or escalator, only stairs, to reach the tracks Elevator was large enough for us and all our luggage in one trip. Room floor was rug-less, which we really appreciate because rugs are hard to keep clean/sanitary.

Toweling was the most noticeable limitation, just 2 full sized and 1 thin hand towel, plus a bathmat. Room description on Booking.com shouldn't have included "View". There was a large window by the bed, but it was obscured by a metal security screen, and there was a small window high up on the bathroom wall. These were great for ventilation, but not for a view.

Quite a large room with a great city view (and perfectly clean windows). Very clean, very friendly staff speaking good English. It has central heating, and after some other places in Spain it was surprisingly warm in the room. After the checkout we had a full day in Barcelona, they let us leave our bags in a locked safe room, and in the evening we could spend any time we needed in a cafeteria — large space with kettles for hot water, some vending machines, microwaves and no people, which was especially satisfying after a day in noisy city.
