Note that there is no elevator in the building. Our room, which was on the 3rd floor, did not have shampoo and soap. When I asked for supply, the front desk can only give me soap. No shampoo available at all.

Perfect place to stay for Primavera Sound. A reasonable walk to the metro and a 30 minute ish walk from Plaça Catalunya where the shuttle bus drops you off late at night/early in the morning. Only small issue was one night the door was locked and it took a little while to get inside but we just kept ringing the bell until we got in.

Great location, no frills. Could do with an overhaul but we weren’t in the room that much as there is so much to see and do outside. The ladies on the desk were lovely but the older man was miserable as sin. Fantastic location on a budget..

Desafortunadamente la rambla está en reparación y el ambiente por sus alrededores no era muy seguro, sin embargo el personal del hostal muy amable , mi única molestia es que no hay escaleras y son como 4 pisos tampoco se puede ir en los meses de verano pq no hay aire acondicionado .

Due to recent reviews we almost booked else where and I’m very glad we didn’t. The room was great and spacious with a private bathroom and small patio. There was even a fan put in the room for us which helped at night. The location was great

This is a family run gem right in the heart of the city. It will not be beaten on price and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to major attractions and shopping we found our stay there very pleasant.

You'll get what you paid for. Staff are friendly, rooms are clean, location is very convenient, on a side street near Rambler. No air con, can be quite hot in summer. Rooms are on 3rd floor, no elevator. Not an ideal location for seniors or family with small kids. At night, the area is a bit noisy and you might not feel 100% safe strolling around.

We did not stay. The hostal's front desk is on a 2nd floor, no elevator but the escalator was acceptable. To go to the room we were assigned to, there was a narrow and uncomfortable escalator. There was no A/C in the room and no bathroom either. On top of all these inconveniences the area was bad an extremely unsafe. WE DID NOT STAYED AND ENDED LOOSING THE MONEY

Had a weird smell from walking in the door, very run down and no air con (not ideal in summer). The street it is on smelt like urine.

They never contacted us. Didn’t even end up staying there because didn’t know if our room was even still available or could get a late check in. No communication.

This is a very well located, friendly, clean hostel. The prices are high for what it is, but that is Barcelona prices for you! Surprisingly quiet given its central location
