Pesimo

Muy mala experiencia, no te atienden en recepción. Al llegar tienes que pagar muchos gastos ocultos epezando por las sábanas -2€ por noche- o duermes sin ropa de cama, si tienes que dejar el equipaje cobran 5€ por dejarlo tirado en una equina sin protección ninguna, wifi no... taquillas muy muy pequeñas, donde cabe un bolso. Lo que es desayuno es una tasa de cafe. Atención y experiencia pésimas.

Deberian mejorar

No me gusto la experiencia, no me volveria a hospedar ahí, tome una habitacion privada y me pidieron hacer el check in a las 8:30 Y NO A LAS 10COMO DECIA LA PAGINA, te cobran deposito de 5 euros por la llave, tienes que pagar 2euros por cada toalla pues no las incluye, el area no me gusto, ni el ambiente, la ubicacion su esta muy buena y la cama comoda, pero la habitacion no es bonita, estaba demasiado caro para el servicio que ofrecen, en la pagina se ofrece desayuno bufet y solo te dan un pan y cafe o chocolate. Barcelona es una ciudad muy cara pero deberian brindar brindar un mejor servicio para lo que cobran por eso solamente me hospede una noche la cual pues se pasa en cualquier lado.

Pésimo!!!

La cocina es lo peor tiene un olor espantaso. En algunas ocuaciones los cuartos igual. No sirven lámparas. El trato el malo. El baño sucio no concuerda las fotos con la actualidad. Todas las paredes tienen moho. Y créame que por ese precio eh estado en mejores hostales. Lo único bueno es su ubciacion a 4 min del metro y de ahí para cualquier lado. Incluso caminando llegas a muchos lugares.

This hostel was absolutely the worst place. Avoid at all cost. You actually do not save money. Their hidden fees will cost you more than some hotels in Barcelona. Staff are disinterested in helping their customers.

Séjour Barcelone

Lits qui grincent, toilettes parfois très sales, une douche pour 12, la porte de notre chambre était cassée donc ne fermait pas et il y a eu une nuit où les gérants se sont pris la tête et ont réveillé tout le monde. Mis à part ça, bon séjour passé entre amies, on a quand même bien dormi et l’auberge est bien située.

The best B and B.

With my family and solo, I have stayed in several bed and breakfasts in the U.K. The Bay Horse is the best of them all for several reasons: beautifully renovated old coaching inn, quiet and clean rooms, outstanding breakfasts, fabulous little touches like fresh fruit in the room as well as a delicious chocolate laid out on the bed upon arrival, scenic location, and of course warm hospitality.

아침밥은 준다고 했는데 빵 한종류 뿐이고 그나마도 시간도 들쑥날쑥, 한번은 아예 없다고 함. 수건도 사이트엔 제공된다고 했으나 유료임. 로비 등 공동공간에서 냄새가 남. 그나마 2인실을 썼고 뒤쪽 정원으로 통하는 큰 문이 있어서 방에선 냄새 안났네요. 숙박 사이트의 내용과 다른점이 많아요. 청소도 매일 안해주고 시트도 한번 주고 안갈아줌. 담요가 얇아서 추워서 옷입고 잤고요. 전기가 주기적으로 꺼져서 샤워하다가도 암흑이 되는데 불켜는 곳 사이에 옷핀 꽂아 고정하니 괜찮았어요. 짐도 체크아웃 후 2시간만 무료로 맡아주고 이후엔 유료에요. 직원들은 모르겠는데 주인아저씨가 엄청 무뚝뚝하고 불친절해요.

Worst Hostel We've Ever Been To

This Hostel was a nightmare. When we arrived at 9 pm they did not have the room ready. We had to pay extra for the linen and the guy at the reception wasn't very friendly. When we were let into the room it was a really weird room: there was no real bed, it was just an arrangement of seats put together (look at the pictures). The trashcan wasn't emptied, there was a weird headboard half on the wall, half of the wall. The bathroom was not clean, there was hair everywhere. The sheets were not clean. The view from the window was a wall, so NO daylight or fresh air came into the room. Also the light turned off every few minutes automatically so if you were laying in bed you had to get up every few minutes to turn the lights back on, very annoying. The walls in the hostel are very thin and right next to the window was one of the neighbour room, so you could hear literally EVERYTHING all night long. Couldn't sleep a minute. There was a breakfast inclusive, well, they put a small container with croissants from the supermarket on the counter. The first day we were fast enough, so we got one each, after us there were no left. On the second day we weren't fast enough, so there was no breakfast for us. There are machines for juice and for breakfast they are supposed to be free, but the machine didn't work. And I wouldn't touch the coffee-machine, it looked disgusting. Also, the "living" area is a hallway with sofas on the sides. It always smells weird.
