Great Stay in Barcelona! Highly Recommend! I recently stayed at this hostel in Barcelona for 4 nights with my friend, and we had an amazing experience! The place was incredibly clean, with well-maintained facilities that made our stay very comfortable. The location was perfect—easy to get to all the major attractions, and there were plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we felt very safe during our stay. Whether you're traveling with friends or solo, this hostel is a great choice for anyone visiting Barcelona. Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a clean, affordable, and well-located place to stay in the city!

The location is good and the staff are friendly. It is nice that there is a kitchen available to use, although we didn't need to use it. The room, although small and with only a small window was as shown when booking.
The shared bathrooms could be somewhat better managed. Not everyone (properly) uses the mop to dry the floor next to the shower after the shower, which was slightly annoying. The room itself had a slightly unpleasant smell, that one wouldn't notice after some time, however I think this is nothing bad as to what could be expected at other accommodations in this price range.

We had the best time in Barcelona and in this hostel, the staff was amazing, especially Luca, the sweetest receptionist we have ever met! Of course the other guys were the kindest people ever as well, we could check-in earlier, and since our flight was delayed we could hang around after check-out and had a very good few hours with the owner of the place and Luca of course🙂 I 100% recommend this place, they really will treat you like it is your home, amazing location as well, I can’t say anything bad, thank you WOW Hostel staff for this amazing hospitality, we will never forget and definitely coming back! We wish you the best, the 3 girls from Budapest!❤️

We had a great stay at Wow Hostel! We were surprised how clean, well equipped and friendly is the place. The stuff was so communicative and friendly. The dog at the hostel, Luca, made our stay even more pleasant! The best way to relax after a full day of visiting, playing some pool at the reception and playing with the adorable dog! It definitely worth the money and I warmly recommend it!
Hard to think of something.

The staff was very friendly and there was always someone around in case you’ve needed something. The hostel is located in a calm & clean part of Barcelona. I’ve met interesting people from all over the world. The rooms had lockers for each guest & thanks to the curtains by the bed you’ve had enough privacy.
I didn’t expect more from a hostel but the room was furnished only with the bed and the lockers.

I definitely loved the location! We had a nice, comfortable and clean private room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The access to the kitchen is pretty convenient for a quick breakfast.
The room was advertised as having air conditioning included in the fee, but it's actually coin-operated — something that should have been disclosed in advance.

Location and facilities were great, friendly staff and free coffee in the morning, a comfy bed, clean rooms and common areas, good Wi-Fi connection, plenty of food options nearby and close to the downtown.
The price - it is quite expensive for a shared room, considering tourist tax and extra fee for towels. But apparently it is a new standard in Barcelona, so this hostel was actually quite a good option.

The hostel manager was very friendly and helpful, the location was great- just on the edge of trendy Eixample & lovely Sarria. The room was simple but for a hostel it was perfectly good and had everything we needed.
Being in an excellent location means the road is quite noisy, so if you're a light sleeper you need earplugs, but it was well worth it to be on Diagonal, between great neighbourhoods.

The lobby was really cool, we loved the big windows letting in natural light. And the reception was very friendly. There’s a lift to take you up to the floor so that you don’t have to climb all of the stairs if you do not want to.
