Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 11th November 2008 Couple 25-30 4/5 Comments: really loud at night and the beds were really squeaky, but great location, big lockers and awesome staff!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 16th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: overall, it is a fun place to stay! Just not in room 110 - we unfortunately got the only room that doesn't lock, so people wandered in and out all night!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating - 15th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Even thought the decoration is really nice in the double bedrooms, the fact of finding cockaroachis everyday and night in the floor of the room doesnt help to enjoy the stay. I think the cleanliness should be taking more seriously because for the price of a 3 stars hotel we hope to find at least a clean place.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Belgium 13th November 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The shower in the apartment needs a curtain or something, all the water spilling on the floor makes the floor-boards come up.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Poland 9th November 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: good breakfast, bathrooms (showers) could be kept cleaner - there was a lot of hair in the sinks. Convenient location and excellent security incl free spacious lockers.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 2nd November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: Without doubt the best hostel in Barcelona! 1. Only 5min from the main street - Rambla. 2. Very clean - you see staff cleaning all the day. 3. Staff is very friendly and helpful. 4. It is suitable for wheelchairs, so most things are on ground floor and you don\'t need to climb 5. Showers and toilets are nice and always clean. 6. You are given a magnetic card, which opens the main door, the door to your room and your personal locker in the room, where you can store your luggage 7. It\'s very colorful and pretty 8. The breakfast is included: toast with nutella, musli, tea, juice .. Go there without doubt!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Netherlands 5th November 2008 Female 18-24 3/5 Comments: I missed information on the website on how to get to the hostel at night, when the regular transport isn't running. Information in english is hard to find as most transport sites are in spanish. (The nightbus service is great by the way!)

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 6th November 2008 Couple 18-24 4/5 Comments: I found the staff very helpful and all the areas remarkably clean. The private apartment is well worth the cost! The other guests were polite and generally outgoing. It has been an exceptionally good experience.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Australia 3rd November 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 3/5 Comments: We booked to stay in Barcelona Mar hostel but got moved to Barcelona Sound which is nearby apparently due to construction work. This hostel was ok but very small - we had barely enough room to walk around the end of the bunks. The bathrooms were not very clean either and the showers were not private at all. There are secure lockers in every room though.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Finland 5th November 2008 Female 18-24 4/5 Comments: everything was just perfect, next time in barcelona i would defenitely stay in this same hostel. staff was very friendly and hostel clean and +++++++++++++

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Ireland 31st October 2008 Female 31-40 3/5 Comments: I was supposed to stay at Barcelona Mar but when i arrived they moved me to Barcelona Sound, a sister Hostel. I thought the staff were lovely and it was clean but it lacked any atmosphere, reading material or games that help people bond during their stay. also the area is a bit lonely to walk if you're a girl.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Brazil 20th October 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: The location is not SO close to the Ramblas, but its ok. You have to walk some minutes to get to the Ramblas. The mens shower was broken. You receive a security card to open the room's door and the locker, that makes it very secure. The room is small for 10 beds. But is clean.

Only gripe was no music channel on the TV - as don't speak spanish/ catalan and therefore couldn't watch/ listen to owt. Breakfast was fine for a hostel.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Spain 15th October 2008 Male 25-30 3/5 Comments: There was a construction going on and started at 8.00, so no sleep after that. in 16 bed dorm air condition ment that there was big fan which blows and sounds like helicopter, so no sleep! and when it rained, water came through the roof.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating New Zealand 24th October 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Some of the dorm rooms are a bit cramped and tiny, but the hostel is ok. Good lockers in the rooms, you can fit your whole bag in. But you do have to pay 2 euro to store your bag after you check out. The staff were really nice, especially the guy on night shift. The breakfast is pretty basic, just cornflakes and toast.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating USA 23rd October 2008 Female 25-30 3/5 Comments: Overall a pretty nice place with a decent location (a bit dodgy at night) and a really nice staff. The shower situation could've been better (the water only stays on for about 5-10 seconds at a time and is often cold) and the construction was a bit annoying but I would stay there again.

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Israel 22nd October 2008 Mixed Group 25-30 4/5 Comments: I loved the hostel, the staff was amazingly friendly and knowledgable. Breakfast is cool, rooms are good, really great place. it isn´t situated in the best neighborhood, but it didn´t matter too much to us. and there is only one light in the room, which is a bit annoying. but cool place!

Nationality Stayed Gender Age Group Overall Rating Portugal 7th October 2008 - - 3/5 Comments: We really enjoyed our stay. The double bedroom we were given was great, actually it was in an apartment outside the hostel building. The staff there was very helpfull and nice too. Although the location was near the Ramblas and therefore in the city center, the street of the hostel was not so good. There actually were prostitutes and junkies all over. But no one ever threaten or approuched us so that was no problem. We really liked it and recommend it to everyone!
