It’s okay, I feel there are better options, I was just there one night, but the beds aren’t as comfortable

Para mí el lugar estuvo fantástico; limpio, céntrico y la atención siempre fue muy muy buena de las personas en recepción. Lo único es que debes pagar para tener sábanas y cobija para dormir, pero fuera de eso no encuentro ningún problema con el hostal.

It was not a good experience. Super expensive. Unfriendly stuff and you had even to change your sheets in the end yourself.

The cleaning staff were so unfriendly and actually rude. Also they charge you for bed sheets which, being summer, we passed on and then they blast the aircon so it’s freezing (to try make you pay?). Pretty scammy. Ok to charge for a top sheet but it’s unhygienic not to provide a mattress cover. Also not really any communal space to hang out if you want to be social. Good location and nice enough rooms otherwise and the guy who did our check in was nice.

Decent hostel but quite unorthodox. Firstly there are no key cards and you have to press the buzzer to be let in, which also means people could open your door without a key. They had a kitchen which was nice but very little atmosphere here. It was quite a long walk to get anywhere of interest except to Arc de Triomf. They make you pay for your bed sheets which I have never seen before and I also found a bug in my bed.

Very nice and comfortable, perfect situation. But if you are looking for a youth-hostel style apartment, it is not the right thing. It's more like a shared kitchen apartment, people do not really talk to each other...

Bathroom had no ventilation. For some reason it was cleaned 3 times a day which is great except we weren’t allowed to use the only toilets when cleaning was happening. Was also very hot in the bathrooms. Air con was only turned on when the male worker was at the desk which was very frustrating. The women also patrolled the bedrooms which felt super strange for a hostel. Don’t use soap in shower, smells strange.

Great location. However, lots of hidden costs ie paying for your bedding is something I have never encountered in a hostel. Towels? I get it. Shower rooms are cramped and stuffy. Also drains werent working so I was swimming in water by the end of the shower. Also had an awkward moment when a man was in the ladies shower rooms - better signposting could avoid this!!! No common areas to chill, so only option was your bed. My lock didnt fit the locker, which I've also never encountered at a hostel

Es mi primera vez en un hostal que me cobran hasta por las sábanas y después del check out no podía usar las duchas y tenía que pagar más. El personal de recepción me atendió bien. Especialmente la recepcionista de las mañanas
