For just one night, the hostel was ok. However, the room was very small for 6 beds. It was impossible to use the drawer under the bed if there was another person in the bed opposite. The bathroom sink was also very small with a cabinet above it that made it difficult to use the sink. The room next to the kitchen was not very quiet, as people were socializing there, which is to be expected. However, there could be a time limit. People talking loudly almost midnight is not nice. Despite being small, the facilities were clean. The staff were very friendly.

Great Stay, Open Late

We were arriving in Barcelona very late from our flight and needed somewhere with a late check in. We found this hostel and were very surprised how nice and clean it was. Highly reccomend staying here and dont let it being a hostel turn you off. We have a private room and it was great.

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.

Lovely

Had to booked last minute due to holiday problem. I’ve never stayed in a hostel before so was quite apprehensive. Booked at 9pm for arrival at midnight. Thank god they were there for me at that time of night. Only stayed six hours as was on a flight the next morning but the bed was fabulous and the services I used (power and bathroom) were appreciated. Would like to come back and actually stay here longer as I’m now far more open to hostelling and felt very safe.
