    What made me a bit uneasy was the "chewing gum surprise" on the bottom side of the top bed.

    Great hostel, clean environment, and in a good location. All personnel in the reception was top notch. I really liked the one-card system where you can use a single card for opening the main entrance, door to the room itself and the locker. Every bed has a curtain, that ensures privacy and also blocks out potential snoring caused by fellow guests. I'm really happy with the hostel overall, if I ever visit Barcelona again, I'll definitely book this hostel.

    The Wi-Fi is absolutely horrendous! It was constantly dropping throughout my entire stay.

    It's a great hostel that covers all of the basics. The hostel has a fully equipped kitchen, a place to do laundry, and a nice common areas. The beds in the room have curtains, outlets, a light, and lockers that will fit up to a 65L backpack.

    I stayed in the large dorm. I have no idea why they have a sensor light turning on until 11:30pm?? I had to listen to people packing their bags at this time. I feel as though a sensor light until 10pm would be more reasonable. Other than that the dorm room was comfortable.

    Kitchen and bathroom facilities were great. Loved the pub crawl.

    I had the first room that is next to the street, so late in the night, we could hear people from the hostel talking while they are smoking their cigarette. Usually, it would have bothered me but weirdly, I could still sleep tight. Maybe this room isolation should be increased a little bit for people with a very fragile sleep (which is not my case). I would have added a shelf inside the locker so we can put some stuff on it and not be obliged to get our stuff from the luggage every time.

    The hostel is pretty big and comfortable. There is all what you’ll need and the kitchen is practical to use. Also, the private terrace is very nice and I like the system with the card to unlock the hostel door and the lockers. It makes the stay easier compared to a system with a code. You just need to be careful not loosing the card :) location and quality / price were very good !

    It's quite pricey for a hostel but apparently it's just how it is in Barcelona

    The main advantage of this hostel is its location. Metro is 10 mins away by walk, there's plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby, as well as supermarkets. Staff are very friendly as well.

    The WiFi was horrendous! I had to attend online school for part of my stay and with the WiFi constantly connecting and disconnecting which made things difficult to say the least. The pillows were also a bit uncomfortable, even for a hostel. Other than that, it's a bit price but so is every hostel in Barcelona.

    Great hostel in Barcelona! The staff was super friendly and accommodating, the hostel's kitchen had everything you'd need and was open nearly 24/7, the entire hostel was always clean, the bathrooms were decent, and every bed had a plug, light, curtain, and locker. The keycard system the hostel used was easy and convenient as was check-in/check-out. Lastly the location was great. There's a Aldi less than 100m away, a place to do around two blocks away, and major attractions like the Sagrada Familia and Ciutadella Park within a 15 minute walk.

    Not the friendliest staff (didnt seem to care about guests much, kept chatting with each other in Spanish multiple times even with queue for the reception). No towels available. Dryer didnt work so most guests did their laundry in a laundry bar closeby. Rooms have a dead vibe (more like an institution than a hostel). Common room was good. Location isnt the best.

    Clean avarage hostel. Good wifi. Kitchen is great. Lots of people to get to know.

    The blankets and sheets provided were too thin. Note that a lot of rooms (mine included) are in the basement level so WiFi is almost non-existent in the room, but you could always do work in the common room. Same applies for toilets and bathrooms in the basement level. WiFi in common area is ok. The bathroom lights keep turning off when I'm showering at night. I understand that perhaps they are trying to save electricity but perhaps could increase the automatic turn-off duration by a bit. Most hostels I've stayed at have water cooler for water refill, but they do not provide water cooler and I refilled water using tap water instead.

    There is washing machine facilities around 3 or 4 euros if needed, they also rent bicycles for 5euro/half day and 9 euros/day. They have 5 euro dinner paellas (orders before 9pm) and it was delicious, the staff was very friendly and even gave me a refill! The common space in the ground floor is spacious and comfortable. Check-in process was also smooth as they are always people at the counter. Location wise is quite convenient (~10 mins walk to Arc de Triomf metro station). They also provide luggage storage at a fee, although I did not use.

    The hostel doesn't really feel friendly/cozy and like it promotes contacts with new people.

    The hostel is very big and clean. The beds are comfortable, the showers/bathrooms are separated woman/man and they're really spacious. The location is excellent and it's really easy to get there by metro.

    The room of 24 is located in the basement, there was something like a window, but it still doesn't ventilate properly. There was a man lying next to me who was coughing all the time, so I didn't feel very comfortable.

    Not much. The locker was slightly loud. Bed sheets were given upon check-in - being on the top bunk and arriving quite late made it not easy to make bedding.

    Convienient location. Bed was not creaky. Lockers were locked by the room keycard. Clean facilities. Curtains across bed gave good privacy.
