Highly Recommend.

Fantastic hostel. Incredibly clean. Everyone who works there is amazingly friendly and helpful. Extremely easy to meet other travelers. The best washer and dryer in Europe. Superb location…close enough to old town to walk, but non-tourist prices and food at nearby restaurants. The train is a minute’s walk. I can’t rave enough about this hostel.

Shower area need at-least hangers for hanging cloths and towel, and shower gel only, rooms are pretty small but ok, $2 breakfast is good. Area is very closed to La rambla and there is only 2 mins walk to La Parel Metro.

Loved this place, wished I had gone there sooner. Stayed a few days, was glad i did. Great neighborhood, shops, cafes, bakeries, everything close but not HIGH population like some areas. A few blocks away got you a great street for restaurants and cafes, without the massive crowds. NOW, the hostel itself was great. Diverse working staff, many languages spoken, GREAT VIBES, positive place! Huge commercial freezer, small kitchen but functional. Activities if you choose. Leisure spots, terraces and laundry facilities. Vending machine, and quiet rooms mostly. Alot of slamming doors would shake the walls, but that was tolerable. Large showers, good size bathroom stalls. They cleaned the facilities like three times a day, bleach and all so i was happy that everything was so clean! Kind, wonderful and helpful. Will stay here again and again, when I come back. I loved it there.

If you are a light sleeper…..

Not bad all together but very dependent on how room mates come in at night or leave in the morning. The first 2nights good last 2 nights pretty impossible to sleep.
