Comments: the hostel was very nice, the common room and kitchen pleasent to live in. Good to have the internet access too ! The welcome was warmful, and we appreciated a lot the explanations given by the staff about the city, what is to be seen in Barcelona ...! One idea we have had : it would be very nice to have little lights for each bed in the bedrooms in order not to wake up the others with the big light !

Comments: Located rather far from everything except Sants station so the metro got used a lot, which is fine during the day but less fun after the metro stops at midnight/1am. The kitchen and common room are huge but off season it's a very quiet.

Comments: Was fantastic, staff were so helpful thought would be far away by looking at map, once you get good at subway (very easy) getting DT is a breeze and takes 10 mins from the time you leave hostel felt VERY safe there excellent security. CONS: breakfast is not a real bfast; cereal and toast -i\'m lactose intol so cereal was a no go. still got the job done though -dude sleeping under me needed to be introduced to a shower -tough to find cons when reviewing travel tips: YOU WILL BE PICK-POCKETED/ROBBED while in barcelona litterally every group in our hostel (very good bunch) had someone who was robbed. read up on scams before you go and buy one of those under the clothes wallets. the robbing starts as soon as you get to the city so be careful. other than that, had a fantastic time, beautiful city, fantastic hostel. best part of the hostel was the staff - so helpful and we would not have gotten half of what we got to do done had we not had the staff available. would recommend to anyone.

Comments: pretty good hostel overall. a bit far out of the very centre (12 mins on metro) but the staff are super friendly and helpful, there are free movies, free internet and a somewhat unsatisfying breakfast. overall not a bad stay, just a bit noisy with the swipe key system!

Comments: this is a bigger hostel that is a bit out of the city, not hard to get into the city by metro though. the dorms would be hot in summer but a good hostel with a decent kitchen. open 24 hours which was handy.

Comments: Try to avoid staying in the 14 bed door. There is WAY to many people coming in and out and the beds in that room (and pillows) are not comfortable. The 6 bed door is WAY better. A bit out of the way but the Metro makes it easy to get around.

Comments: I stayed at the alberguinne for 4 nights and found it a pretty decent hostel, really clean with very friendly staff! the only thing is that its not the most central location. Also people seem to get up really early here, prob cuz its close to the trainstation, so if u like ur z's this is not the best place to stay! But still enjoyed the time there once i got over being woken up at 6 am;).
