Overall Ratings & Reviews Somnio Hostels

As it is a hostel, the walls between the rooms are thin and if somebody makes a noise, it could be an issue. Apart from that, the room was very cozy for a small person like myself. Proximity to anything touristic is very very good.

Staff was very helpful, they were able to accommodate my arrival time at 2am. Very clean.

Clean, airconditioning and located in the middle of the city

Wasn't able to check in because the man at the front desk was giving me a hard time about my credit card. I had to book a more expensive hotel, which ended up being a blessing in disguise. The attendant was not helpful. I do not recommend this place of business, period.

Bathroom was broken. But staff are friendly. Nearby city center. Goodlocation

Good location, close to most tourists areas, room is small, reception is very helpful, good for the price in Barcelona

Do not stay here. They lock their doors and do not respond. My flight was delayed and I told them I would arrive past the 10pm check in. Doors were locked when I arrived and no one answered the phone. Have never heard or stayed at a hostel that closes their doors. Ridiculous. There are so many options in Barcelona, choose to stay some place else.

It wasn’t the nicest place but for a hostel it had all the amenities we needed

they do not open doors when you want to check in and in spite of cancelling hotel room, they do not provide a refund. Hotel looks like a dungeon, small pothole, do not stay here. The owner is not customer centric and location is terrible.

My son and I had a private room and we were a lot more comfortable than one generally expects when considering staying in a hostel. We hardly heard any other guests and the room is equipped with a blind system to ensure a peaceful and dark sleep environment. The room was clean and basic for our needs. Convenient location to escape the loud tourists while still being in a great location to access public transport (metro, taxi, Aerobus to airport), as well as some great attractions in The Gothic Quarter and Las Ramblas/Cata Plaça. The only annoyance is the staff that I checked in with was very rude to the guests before me and me. He had a bad attitude and wasn’t welcoming or helpful despite me speaking near perfect Spanish. I think he just doesn’t like his job or had a bad day- either way he was quite unprofessional. Besides that and overall I would recommend this hostel and I would stay again.

Room was not as pictured, very small, pretty much the width of the bed. Room however was quiet from outside noise, but next to communal bathroom. Bathroom and room itself were clean. Staff were not helpful. Overall fine budget place to stay.

Basic room that was comfortable enough but certainly' no frills's. The bed was comfy and after a long day we slept well, although the communal bathroom for other rooms was right behind the head of the bed, so door slamming and bathroom noises were a slight issue. Also, the en suite had no functioning hot water tap, and the shower was more of a single, heavy dumping of water. At least they are honest with the two star rating :)

Three short points: 1. Robbery: The room next to mine got robbed. The two people who were staying there luckily had their electronics and documents with them. So they only lost clothes. However, it was one crazy experience to have cops arrive etc. The hostel does not have 24hr customer service so we had zero help from anyone. I was scheduled to stay for four nights. But I immediately checked out after the robbery (2nd night) and moved to a nice hotel (U232; which is excellent). 2. Rude customer service: After the robbery I asked to cancel my remaining reservation. The receptionist (very rudely) flat out refused. She actually refused to believe me that a robbery had happened. (I checked out at 8am and the folks who had been robbed were still sleeping.) So I said whatever, and just left. + I called hotels.com and told them what happened later. They sincerely apologized and refunded me the full amount. So, hotels.com you are awesome! 3. Shady rooms: The robbery notwithstanding, this hostel was really dingy, ill lit, and all round not nice. I booked a single room and it was very small, and the heater didn't work (it's November and pretty cold). Now it might be okay if I was starving and on an extreme budget. But for $30 more a night, you can get an amazing 3-4 star hotel. So keeping that in mind, this is a pretty bad deal. (I could rant on about details but there's no point). Overall recommendation : Do NOT stay here.

Very basic... Very thin walls and hard bed. Otherwise nice service from staff and clean facilities.

Terrible. I book this nearly a week in advance and when I got there no body was manning the desk. I had to explain and tell them I had booked a room for 2 nights to be told they don't have a room for 2 nights, only one. Then when I got in my room it was dead. No tv, no wifi either so I could watch to on my phone.

Pros: very close to Passeig de Gracia;10-min walk to P. Catalunya; free coffee, tea, and water; clean room with convenient sink and desk; efficient receptionist; not much noise Cons: shared bathroom shower floods easily; some mold on shower curtain; French door opening to internal stairwell did not close

I liked that the hostel was small and quiet. The front desk staff were helpful and friendly. Only thing I didn't like was I found hair on the beds when I first walked in. Wasn't a huge deal but could have been cleaner.

Room was super small and our double with attached bath was located right next to the shared toilet and plenty of traffic, people banging doors... Etc. shower head could not be raised higher. Lift is old and was spoilt when we were leaving so had to carry all the luggage a down. On another note, Staff were really nice and friendly plus location is good. But we did not sleep at all for all 4 nights thanks to other guests being inconsiderate. Rather frustrating.

Somnio was a great spot to stay in Barcelona, very basic facilities but perfect for if you're just wanting a clean and comfortable place to sleep. I was in a single room which also had a sink and mirror which was great, the shared bathroom near my room was always free and clean, the bed was comfy and the air conditioning was a great plus. There's no real common area to hang out in so not much opportunity to meet other people if that's important for you, but that was fine for me as I had other friends in town. The location was great, an easy walk to La Rambla and Plaça de Catalunya (where the airport bus stop and Catalunya station are) and very close to Passeig de Gràcia metro station, so all areas of bcn are easily reachable by foot or metro - good shopping and restaurants also nearby. I'd highly recommend Somnio :)

I booked this room because I was arriving at 10.30pm and leaving at 8am so it was not a big deal BUT the ONLY important criteria was air conditioning which it said it had - well it didn't and they simply lied to me and said it was broken - there was nothing to break!!! I got showed the other 1 bedded room in the morning which had windows and air conditioning so if you stay here make sure they don't give you the room with no outside or ac. Apparently the room I was given was a converted cupboard!!! In addition 3 guys were staying in the room opposite and got up to use the communal bathroom between our rooms at 5am - they left their door wide open and put music on full volume. The night porter should have come and told them to stop butt he didn't and i had to go and ask for a bit of respect. The desk staff were very kind, eventually they gave me back half my money but then I didn't sleep most of the night. In a great location and otherwise looked very nice
