Kamil, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

I got a private room and it was alright! The lock on the communal bathroom door was broken and I asked about it but it didn’t get fixed. The location is great and I loved the rooftop. I thought the private room was overpriced for what you’re getting but from what people told me this is normal for Barcelona. Cleanliness was good for a hostel! Near to everything
Yvonne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

AMAZING location. But the rooms are bare bones. Not the place you go to to relax in the room, but the location is perfect for walking around and exploring
Nini johanna, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is as described but the room had a very bad smell. The toilets and bathroom facilities needs to be enhanced.

10/10 Exceptional

Staff extremely friendly and knowledgeable on the local area. Had to do an early check in with no notice and they were accommodating and flexible. Cleanliness and amenities are better than that of a typical hostel.
Kya-Ikon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disgusting Bunk Beds

Good for the price and good location but the bunk beds are too low and you cant even fully sit down when you're at the bottom of the bed. Not even have a chair to sit down coz you cant really sit properly on bed and me and my children's head always hit the top of the bed. Bunk bed is okay but at least you could have been able to sit down properly.
GRACE, 4-night trip

The hostel has a different name and the dorm room didn’t look like on the picture. No curtains like on the pictures. No toilet on the same level as my room, it was out of service. No plug to charge my phone at my bed. Really basic hostel.
