Good location with a friendly, young, multi-lingual staff. the rooms are sparsely furnished, but you don't need much. a generally fun and informal atmosphere.
It's loud. ear plugs are provided at the desk, but if you choose to (or have to) go without, you may not get much sleep.26 Apr 08
Excellent staff who were very knowledgable. the whole place was exceptionally clean and tidy. 21 Mar 08

The staff were greatNothing
We had a lovely room that seemed recently refurbishedNoise disturbance was a problem in our room from people in communal areas13 Feb 08
Great value for money and very central.11 Feb 08
In the room 105 the shatters of the window are not so huge so other people can see u from outside..07 Dec 07
The hostel is run by friendly and helpful staff and has a great atmosphere. it is quite quirky, a lot of fun and, importantly, has clean bathrooms! it also has a nice terrace which would be good in the summer.Not the easiest hostel to find, although very centrally situated in the soho of barcelona! we found ourselves walking up and down the (fortunately short) road a couple of times before finding the tiny signage stuck above a buzzer on a residential looking building. once in , all good!26 Nov 07
After staying in the hostel i would certainly go back there again when visiting barcelona21 Nov 07

Hostel was very reasonably priced and ideally located. i was going over to barcelona for the football with a few friends and it suited our needs perfectly. ideal place for people looking for a good place to have a sleep at night and shower in the morning. internet and cable tv available in living room area, i never used this but was nice to know it was there. the staff were very helpful and were very easy going. the hostel also had secure door entry so nobody walking in off street.Not for somebody looking for a luxury holiday, but the fact its a hostel should mean people know that.08 Nov 07

A very clean hostel with the most comfortable bed i've slept in. very helpful staff on duty 24/7.10 Oct 07
Room was clean though small and hostel in good position. staff were very helpful and hostel users were not noisy at all. it is not a 5 star hotel but a hostel and was perfect placed for going out sightseeing all day and just using to sleep in.We had a twin room with shower which was at the front of the hotel. the only problem was the noise from the trucks who emptied the recyling bins in the early morning. the sound of breaking glass etc was horrendous! when booking ask to be at back of hostel.06 Oct 07
The staff... very nice people.
Really friendly people, staff nice . and the cleaner was fantastic she worked really hard and it was spotless. facilities and paint scheme were cool.Noisy. hardly slept at all, the worst night sleep, doors slamming etc. you could change the automatic closers so they don't do that. sound carried amazingly. people talking in the lobby,internet area could clearly be heard well past 3 am. quietness needs to be stressed by the staff on checking in, the signs didn't do much to stop it. why not sell some ear plugs at the desk. the noise was the only thing that let it down, such a great place and staff were cool.
Location is excellent, the room was clean, terrace pleasant.Very noisy, worken by drilling 5 nights out of 7 but general noise levels also very high. you could basically hear every movement which was not restful!
Location, clean, friendlyNoisy
Flexibility, youth atmosphere, friendly service
Nice girl behind the desk (from argentina) and good music in the lobby
The staff in the hostel were very friendly. our room was very clean and the showers aswell and they were like 3 steps from our roomThere was nothing that i didn't liked
Perfect location.Too noisy so i couldn't sleep properly even i met a few people there. the price it's quite too high for the facility.
The location of the hotel is very good, the staff friendly, nice atmosphere
The staff were multilingual and extremely helpful. the presence of a computer to use and a voip phone to use as well as a fully equiped kitchen was outstanding. highly recommended. the location is ideal and the accommodations other than being one flight up with no elevator makes it ideal for old and young alike. there is a parking garage next door to the hostal but i didn't get the rates. Everything was great.
Staff; hotel locationVery noisy
there is one room of 2*3 meter with 2 beds and a window face to a roof at 1 meter <=> no window
Courtesy of the staffThe neighborhood, and also the building, was so dirty.
