Shocking experience! Tiny room with creaky old bunk beds - just beds/chairs, nothing else. No hot water baths 3 out of 4 nights (freezing showers!). Kitchen was dirty, and my food got stolen from the fridge. Never again!

The price is quite expensive for a hostel that is not well connected with the city center. There was only one towel and one toilet roll, and no bin bags. The bedroom was clean but the walls were filthy. The beds were creaky and the other guests were loud at night (3am) even though there were rules of being quiet after midnight. Furthermore, we were charged 3 eur for city tax when the email stated it was 1.1 per night.

Die Badezimmer waren sehr dreckig und nicht funktional. In den 4-5 Tagen unseres Aufenthalts schien nicht geputzt zu werden. Es gab kaum Haken oder Ablageflächen, Schimmel über der Dusche, nach der Dusche war das ganze Bad überflutet. Die Handtücher waren voller Haare. Und unser Doppelzimmer ähnelte einem Kabuff, das nur ein Fenster zu einem finsteren, sehr schmalen Hinterhof hatte, d. h. kein Tageslicht, viele Gerüche, keine frische Luft. Piepsender Aufzug direkt vorm Fenster - WOW!

Le stanze sono ottime e il personale è molto gentile. Anche i bagni sono ok, solo i prezzi sono un po' troppo alti visti i servizi offerti

No geral o hostel foi tudo incrível mas no nosso quarto de 3 pessoas tínhamos que pagar o ar condicionado 1€ para ter ele a funcionar durante 3 horas ! E quando fizemos a reserva não tinha nada disso escrito ! E em Barcelona é um calor intenso, e só cobravam para os quartos de 3 pessoas, para os restantes não cobravam esse valor por isso era injusto. Quando fizemos a reserva dizia que tinha ar condicionado não dizia que tínhamos que pagar 1€ por 3h e a assim sucessivamente !

Das Hostel und die Athmosphäre haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Es hatte sehr freundliche mitarbeitende und eine sehr gute Ausstattung an allem was das Herz begehrt. Leider haben kakerlaken und einen unangenehmen Geruch im Bad vorgefunden, der unseren Aufenthalt etwas unkomfortabel machte und für den doch sehr hohen Preis eigentlich nicht angemessen ist.

Negativo: El colchón deja mucho que desear, la cama se movía por no tener correctamente ajustados los tornillos. El espacio chico. Escuché al personal (un hombre que parecía propietario) hablar de muy mala forma. Positivo: cocina ordenada, baños limpios y amplios.

La chambre est correcte et propre mais sombre avec une petite fenêtre sur cour. Les salles de bains sont vétustes et sales. Immeuble ancien et bruyant. L’avantage principal est la situation géographique.

Chambre très propre et agréable. Malheureusement assez bruyante avec le boulevard en dessous et surtout la porte de la chambre fine qui fait que l’on entend beaucoup les autres voyageurs des qu’ils rentrent ou parlent. Peut être éviter la chambre 1. Sinon accueil parfait. Bien situé.

Grata estancia en Barcelona, en un barrio muy tranquilo y lleno de cafeterías. Estás un poco alejado del Metro, aunque tienes en frente una parada de Buses. Los chicos atendieron muy bien, Hugo fue un gran anfitrión y explicó muy en simple todo lo necesario para estar en la Hostal y disfrutar de la cuidad. Recomendable.

Das Bett hat leider extrem geknarzt. Bei jedem Umdrehen wurde man wach. Die Bäder wurden regelmäßig gereinigt, waren jedoch leider etwas schimmelig. Die Lage war jedoch super.

I stayed in a private room with access to one shared bathroom/toilet. While the room was functional, the bathroom could have been cleaner. Overall, it served its purpose for a short stay, but I wouldn’t choose to stay here again.

Si bien no es cerca de todo está bueno para bajar un cambio y además el transporte funciona a la perfección. El hostel súper limpio, la cocina completa. Me quedé en una habitación de 4 chicas y todo perfecto, tenés lockers para dejar tus cosas. La cama cómoda y genial que tiene cortinas. Todo el personal súper amable.

Un hostal muy agradable para quedarse, buena seguridad y atención. Ademas, muy tranquilo y bastante limpio (podrían mejorarse un poco los baños). Las piezas cuentan con aire acondicionado lo que fue clave para las temperaturas de verano, y el personal nos ayudo en todo lo necesario. En resumen, recomiendo para quedarse en un buen sector y ambiente tranquilo.

L’ambiente dell’’ostello è molto accogliente con personale molto gioviale, un tavolo da biliardo, pop corn e caffè gratis. La pulizia della camera (privata con bagno privato) non era il top, la doccia non funzionava bene poichè usciva poca acqua o gelida o bollente, ed il letto era troppo vecchio. La posizione è ottima perché nelle vicinanze passano molti bus che portano nel cuore della città. Il costo a marzo era un po’ alto per essere un ostello, ma forse è il sovrapprezzo di B...

Perfect for a central city lovers experience. There are good links to transport and lots of bars and entertainment locally. Barcelona is easy to navigate because it's very much straight lines and squares. The pedestrian crossings are mostly automatic. Baggage can remain at WoW Hostel on your last day if you have a late or early next day flight. Thank you guys 😊
