Excellent location, just few minutes walk away from the busy La Rambla Boulevard & La Boqueria Market for food and shopping. Friendly staff, easy check in and out. Great value for the location, have a very homey feel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
An ideal place to stay for a few nights to rest, centrally located to the key attractions within an hour walking distance, friendly staff and clean and tidy rooms and bathrooms. Just make sure to bring some sleeping earbuds with you when you get to sleep since the rooms are located in a noisy neighbourhood and be wary if you got heavy luggage since there are no lifts. Overall, I'd happily stay here again.

The staff were very friendly from start to finish. The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.

Disliked: Amenities
The price was acceptable. It is only a block from a main street with restaurants, entertainment, and transpartation. It opens on to a back alley and you have to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the office and then another flight to the rooms.

Good location

Very good location. Clean room and bathroom. No problems with warm water (I had read about that problem before our trip...) Some in the reception didn't speak much English, but kind and service minded. The best thing with this hostel is the location and how clean it is. Good places to eat breakfast at, in the neighborhood. Metro and busconnection very close. If you don't spend a lot of time in your room during your time in Barcelona, then stay here. We should definitely do that again.
