Free Hostels Barcelona

Friendly staff, clean shared kitchen, quiet, nice neighbourhood which isn’t too far from Sants train station

The location was good and the staff and facilities were lovely

I stayed at Free Hostels Barcelona for one night. I chose it due to its proximity to Barcelona Sants station - it was only a short walk away. I stayed in a private room with ensuite. It was a cheap place to stay, so my expectations were not high. I would note however that walls were not particularly soundproofed - I could hear people taking in the the adjacent room as I was trying to sleep.

Convenient location and friendly stuff

This Hostel was clean and comfortable, and quite most of the time I was disappointed that, at almost 70 years old and having requested a bottom bunk, they were unable to oblige with this. The other difficulty I had may have been related as all communication, emails mostly, was done in Spanish, so I was unaware at times what they were trying to tell me. Now, that's largely my own fault, but they might consider using English as well, as this language is spoken world wide.

Very convenient, and clean. Good service too!

Nice staff! The rooms, sharing areas and bathrooms were very small but everything was clean and comfortable.

Nice hostel , absolutely lovely staff especially the Spanish girl on re

We enjoyed staying at Free Hostels Barcelona. The staff were very nice and helpful. Definitely recommend this place!

Really kind staff , very clean hostel

Staff was very friendly and location is decent. Bathroom #5 needs some love as often there is water all over and the sink is extemelly small.

Clean simple room. I liked the nespresso machine in the lobby and the nightly dinner. Only sad that the balcony room didnt look like the picture. Neighbors could look directly into the bed. Staff was great.

Enjoyed my stay!

Great stay! Beds felt very private with a huge curtain. Location close to train and lots of cute restaurants/bars. Easy to get everywhere i wanted to go. Ensuite shower had a bit of a mold problem, but otherwise everything was great. Would book again!

Clean, functional and within walking distance of main train station.

My First Hostel Experience – A Complete Nightmare This was my very first experience staying in a hostel – and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room. As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation. What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. I’m still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel. To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.

It was a really great stay. Everyone was very helpful. The area was also really good.

It was great. Amazing staff

The staff was helpful, allowing me some flexibility in storing my bags. There was a lounge that was comfortable and convenient, the room was quiet, secure, and clean.

Expectations were met
