Comments: The people that worked there were not able to answer our questions on where to go and how to get there. They did however have a lot brochures to choose from and a computer for you to use the internet. There was a bus tour that stopped right in front of the hostel. It took you everywhere in the city and allowed you to see all the historical places.

Comments: Мы, четыре девушки из Росиии, останавливались здесь. Чистота на 5, расположение на 5. Но плохая звукоизоляция, и что для нас удивительно, в день отъезда, в 5 утра нам отказали в чашке кофе и забрали чайник... персонал не профессионален.

Comments: hi, i loved your hostel for all the reasons listed above. one problem was that i developed a rash while staying with you, i think an allergy to the bedding or a bed bug. but otherwise, thanks for providing a great hostel.

Comments: I only would like to make a suggestion, in my opinion more variety on breakfast it would be perfect. Many people don´t like sweets and prefer something else. I am sure enough i would be back again.

Comments: Very helpful staff, small breakfast included. If you get a room on the street side, you might want to bring some earplugs. Location is great - store across the street, pl. Catalunya within 2 walking minutes, good lighting on the street at night.

Comments: Very good hostel, I don't mind that it wasn't fun, it's not important. It was quite quiet instead, very good. The girls who worked during the day was quite serviceminded and nice, but not the girl who worked during the night.

Comments: Location is very central, one of the bus tours leaves almost from the doorstep (buy the ticket in the bus if you want to pay with a credit card) -- another (better) leaves from Plaza Catalunya (5min walk). Note that people are allowed to smoke in the hallways AND in the breakfast room, and you have to ask for a non-smoking room. Bathroom in the hall was nice and clean. Our room was tiny and with a window to an odd space: nothing to see but a lot to hear... mostly it was fairly quiet though.

Comments: Great little place just 2 blocks from the LaRambla (in a good area). The place is more like a little hotel (with some rooms sharing bathrooms). You get a free breaky (muffins, pasteries, coffee, apples), and they have a fridge in the reception you can use which is handy, oh free internet is just a bonus! Raz

Comments: Ideally located near metro station and ten mins walk to Las Ramblas. Perfect launchpad for Barcelona adventures. Safety deposit box in room. Room cleaned and given fresh towels every day. Very quiet hostel which suited us. Maybe not the place to be if expecting the boisterous hostel atmosphere for partying backpackers.

Comments: the room that I stayed has only one window and it faces the interior of the building. it's good that it's more quiet but a problem is one can smell the air from the bathroom/toilet which is quite unpleasant (or: this is a typical smell of barcelona?)
