Rooms bare minimum, bed, desk and a chair. Beds so old, cheap and hard you feel the springs on you back, furniture broken, no lamp, old strip lights with electrical tape joints. So hot, fan given had the plug connected with electrical tape.........was afraid to use it! We stayed here 3 nights and the old man behind the desk never... More

Ten minutes from the beach and la rambla and close to the gothic quarter. The room was nothing special but had a decent sized kitchen and the staff were friendly and helpful. Stayed here with four friends and enjoyed our stay.

The best thing about this hostal is its location, so if you are going to be out a lot this is the perfect place. We stayed here for a week, in a room with our own bathroom and it was just a simple room with a bed, two chairs and a table. The room was cleaned every day and the... More

I read all of the reviews and they are definitely fair. The rooms are clean but VERY VERY hot (no A/C) - we stayed in a double with bathroom. If you aren't planning on spending much time in there it is a great location and extremely reasonable price. The staff we friendly and our rooms were cleaned daily.

Also, the room itself was big and comfortable (we had a double with bathroom), the... More

Hostel is perfectly situated. Easy access to all attractions. Great value for money. We had a shared bathroom but clean and fine, no complaints!

Although quite small, the room seemed to have been recently refurbished to a high standard and was very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. A great budget place to stay. A small point...

There is a train station(Estación de França) across the street and a metro station just a couple of blocks away! Its location is great, its clean, and the staff was very friendly. The rooms are simple, this is... More
