Comments: Outstanding location, but service is rather poor. We had to argue with the clerck because they wanted to charge more than stated in Trav. Make contact after reserving your places to make sure everything will be as expected (and if it seems it won\'t, you still have time to cancel it).

Comments: Very small, but clean rooms. The cheapest we could find in the center of Barcelona. Location = perfect. Less than 2min to the mainstreet "le rambla" Don't expect hotel-standard - it is a hostel...

Comments: The location es excellent. The room is tiny but ok. The only problem is the noise of the Ramble street. My room doesnot direct face the main street. But it was still noisy enough to disturb my sleep

Comments: fab location and very friendly staff. Open 24/7 so no probs getting in/out at any time. the staircase adds a lot of character to the place and the security is very good. we left our stuff after we checked out so we didn't have to carry a lot of stuff around and had no probs with that either. highly recommend.

Comments: This is a small hostel in the very center of Barcelona, on La Ramblas, 2 min away from PL. Cataluyna. It is very easy to find, but the building has no elevator and hostel is on 5th floor. It wasn't noisy at all, and stuff were ok. Breakfast wasn't huge but the coffee and the croissant were really good! :) I would recommend this hostel maybe sooner for couples then for people willing to have fun and party. Clean + free towels.

Comments: The location is very excellent, in the earth of the city, it seems very very poor but it's quite clean. Water , in my opinion, is not potable but it's always hot, it's a very good thing. The rooms are very small but Barcelona is out of the Hostel. And the price is ok for the location. Enjoy your trip!!!!!

Comments: I would make a reclamation to this hostel because the days i had the booking, nowody opened the door of the pension and we had to book another hotel.And another thing is that the photos of the web aren´t the reals of the hostel.

Comments: Its a great place to be in wintertime barcelona (they do heat the rooms), but I didn`t notice air condition so I think can be tough in Summer (because most of their windows go out Rambla, which is very noisy 24 h a day - it`s impossible to sleep with window opened... That is my only doubt - with all my heart I say it`s a good place for its price

Comments: Great location- though the hostel is at the top of flights of stairs, so pack lightly!. Also, the stairwell leading to the hostel could be better lighted and cleaner.

Comments: The hostel sits on a building which is quickly decaying. Staff isn't specially helpful, sometimes smoking in the corridor at the entrance. Nevertheless its location is awesome and it's clean.

Comments: The staff was verry, verry kind. Location was perfect! (just 2 steps away from the Rambla and 2 minutes walking to the metro) Hygiene isn't there first priority, so don't expect a clean toilet or bath tub, in your (shared)bathroom. When you arrive prepare yourself for a lot of stairs (93 steps). For breakfast you'll get two croissants and something to drink. So to sum up, if you're looking for a cheap, central and basic stay, this is the place!

Comments: Not a cock roach or rat in sight..which we had expected from earlier reviews Location perfect. On busy street but no noise disrupted sleep, were sight seeing not partying this time round. 4 flights up with no lift make it for the lightly packed only.Staff helpful managed fine with no english.

Comments: I missed my flight so I telephoned the hostel to let them know I would be a day late, but when I arrived the next morning my room was cancelled. I had to pay for the night I missed, understandbly, but if they didnt have a free room avalible, I wouldn't have had a place to stay.

Comments: Great location and would recommend staying here. Walk straight out the door on to Las Ramblas. The only downfall is carrying your luggage up a few flights of stairs as there is no lift...good exercise though!

Comments: excellent location. the only bad thing was the big cockroach (the biggest i've ever seen) we found in the room. The receptionist came and killed him with spray. For the rest no complain.
