En la habitación habían chinches y no responden de la manera adecuada. Sigo esperando reembolso, que ni siquiera será total de mi estadía.

Please do not stay here! It takes a lot for me to leave a bad review but this place has bedbugs! I recently stayed (thankfully for only one night) in room 42 which is a 6 bed dorm and it was filled with the critters. We all woke up at 4am because one girl said she had been bitten and saw a bedbug, upon closer inspection, there were loads of them. When I got home I had to check all my belongings for bed bugs, then wash and tumble dry on high heat to make sure any eggs were dead. They did give me my money bac

Check in erfolgte über den automaten, da es keine richtige Rezeption gibt. Nach mehreren Anläufen hat’s dann geklappt. Ich hatte extra den female dorm gebucht, bin dann allerdings aufgrund von Bettwanzen die ich in allen betten gefunden habe, umgebucht worden. Die Dame am telefon war sehr freundlich und ich habe mich ernst genommen gefühlt, jedoch bezweifle ich, dass das Hostel nichts von dem Befall weiß. Eine Erstattung für den mixed dorm mit mehr betten wurde nicht einmal erwähnt.

Assez mal entretenu la preuve j'ai chopé une allergie ou je pense des punaises de lit ! Je ne suis pas difficile mais l'hygiène pour moi ça doit être irréprochable dans une auberge

Não recomendo, o quarto 40 que é o dormitório feminino tinha percevejos na cama , viemos todos mordidos e algumas de nós tiveram de ir para o hospital.. Não recomendo e espero que seja feita uma inspeção sanitária para não acontecer o mais ninguém. Já pedi a fatura e até agora não recebi nada. Lamentável

This hostel have bed bugs ! I figured it out late (00h) and as there is nobody at the reception, I call the "24h" numéro. Twice, no answer. At 1h30, finally they answered and give me another room. I couldn't find any bed bugs in this new room but slept afraid of having some. This new room was a mixed one, but I paid for a female one. I asked for refund. No answer so far, I even don’t know if they are considering it. No customer service. Im disappointed. I strongly recommand to book anywhere else

Excelente ubicación. Pero me queda la duda si entraron mosquitos a mi habitación o hay chinches en la cama ya que desperté con brazos, piernas y espalda llena de ronchas juntas.

unfortunately i found bedbugs in the bed during the night so i had to spend the night in the reception couch, without resting at all.

4th floor is too high to reach. free coffee and water but no water in the coffee machine. bed bugs in bed 42D. they might have come from the blanket that mamy people has used before because the bedsheets look clean.

unpersönlich Check in über eine Maschine. Unfreundlichen Personal das total desinteressiert ist. Keine Rückmeldung auf E-mails. Bettwanzen in den Betten. Mitten in der Nacht versucht jemanden zu erreichen - vergeblich. Keine Sekunde geschlafen und bis heute noch keine Rückmeldung vom Manager wegen Rückerstattung erhalten. WENN EUCH EURE GESUNDHEIT WICHTIG IST, DASS MEIDET DIESES HOTEL.

Vibe Analysis
Forum Tarragona is mostly a hyper-central Tarragona crash pad: the repeat win is the location, right in the old center around Placa de la Font, with restaurants, sightseeing, and city wandering close by. The modest upside is price, occasional basic cleaning, helpful messages or staff when they appear, and the coffee/water setup. It does not read like a fun social-hostel pick. The setup is automated and often unstaffed, and the central location is doing most of the work. This is more useful for someone who wants a cheap bed in the middle of Tarragona than for someone trying to find backpacker energy, activities, or a staffed base. The tradeoffs are loud and concrete: narrow stairs with no lift, very small rooms and bathrooms, weak sound isolation, check-in/key problems, and serious recent cleanliness and pest complaints. Choose it only if location beats comfort, quiet, and support in your utility function.
Signals to check
- There is no lift, and the stairs can be narrow or hard with luggage.
- Rooms and bathrooms can be extremely small.
- Noise and thin walls are a repeated problem.
- Cleanliness and pest complaints are serious, including recent mentions of cockroaches and bedbugs.
- The automated check-in and no-reception setup can create access or support problems.
- Heating, hot water, and bathroom plumbing have repeated complaints.
