Bed bug reports

Confirmed Hostelworld
Worst hostel experience ever. This hostel is in a very bad condition, very old and dirty. The bed was smelly and I could barely sleep because I was so disgusted. My whole body itches, possibly because of bed bugs. It was also very noisy at night. The bathroom is moldy. The rooms don't have keys so everybody can go in. Location is in a shady area, wouldn't go out alone at night. I really don't understand the good google rewievs. I would never ever go in any Onefam hostel again.

Unfortunately I got bitten by bed bugs on the last day of my stay. The dorms weren’t cleaned regularly and the floor was always sandy. I get that it’s close to the beach and people walk around but atleast once a day cleaning is mandatory. The bed had caved in and the pillows had lost their softness. Otherwise the location is perfect !

Beware that there are bed bugs and dorms are not cleaned regularly. The mattress have lost their firmness and have caved in offering no support. The pillows are just a ball of cotton. The flooring is laminated so it makes a lot of noise. I would not recommend it.

Vibe Analysis
Onefam Ramblas is a social hostel in a central Barcelona location. It leans into group plans, bar crawls, and shared dinners, so it fits best if you want an easy place to talk to people and keep busy. Staff are often a strong point here. The tone is warm, helpful, and welcoming, and the hostel can feel comfortable for solo travelers. Privacy curtains, bedside lights, shelves, and plugs add a bit of personal space. The place can get lively at night, and some room layouts feel larger than expected because an "8-bed" setup may be split into two connected sections. Cleanliness and upkeep can vary, so it may suit someone who cares more about atmosphere than quiet or polished facilities.
Signals to check
- This is a lively, party-friendly stay, so it is not a good fit if you need quiet.
- Some room setups feel more like two connected 8-bed sections than a true 8-bed room.
- Noise, bathroom conditions, and upkeep can vary.
- There is an age limit on some bookings, so check that before reserving.
