Comments: If you like to party at night, this is a crazy place. If you like quiet and laid back, the walls are thin and the people are loud.

Comments: if you want to party all day and night, this is the place to come. the lounge area turns into a rave from about 8pm till 2am. great for groups of traveling together for sure. if you are looking for a quiet easy going hostel, stay clear. sex, booze and rocknroll is here :)

Comments: The reviews are true - it's a party hostel catering to the younger crowd. It is Barcelona, but dont expect to sleep at Kabul during the day or night! The hostel's free walking tour was really worthwhile.

Comments: Had so much fun here! Happy hour is great, and location is awesome. Dinner is not much but it's free and after happy hour it goes down okay. Cleaners are very dedicated to their jobs so be prepared to be be ushered from your room or bathroom while they are at work! Would definately stay here again.

Comments: The women's restrooms always ran out of toilet paper. I always had to walk into the men's restroom to get some. It would be useful to have more electricity sockets. There was always a line to charge our phones/cameras or to blow-dry our hair. I enjoyed the lounge area and the easy access to beer. And I liked the use of the machine to pay for drinks, it kept things efficient.

Comments: I do not recommand any kids to that hostel: people had sex in our dorm (20p), there was beer all over the floor (party during the day), one girl was so drunk that she peed on someonelses matress thinking it was the bathroom. We told the staff and they didnt care about it, it was almost if it was normal. This was on saturday night. the rest of my stay was really fun. Saw bugs in kitchen.

Comments: Great hostel in many ways. But....no towels unless you buy one for 10euros, one bathroom per floor and only 20 minutes of internet per day for 3 days. The walking tour led by Johanna is great though!!!

Comments: really nasty receptionist 20 bed dorms that reek, have huge windows with no curtains so its hard to sleep Big bar with cheap beer which was cool, but that seems like it was all the place had to offer, which may be enough..

Comments: Excellent breakfast thought it is not is buffet one. The toilets are a bit dirty as they are shared by the more than 30 people. Staffs are so helpful to help me to get rid of people occupying my bed. Also, the bar downstairs so fun that I would like to stay in this hostel again.

Comments: We had really high hopes for Kabul after all the rave reviews we read. However, it was not an environment condusive to sleeping, showering, etc. The bigger rooms STUNK. Smoking is allowed in the lounge downstairs, and all that odor crept upstairs, so by the time we left, everything we own smelled terrible. We checked out two days early and found a really cheap hotel on Las Ramblas. Much better. Hot showers and non-stinky rooms.

Comments: the small rooms are a good deal and much quieter than larger rooms. get in line early for dinner or you will miss it. there are no plugs in the rooms so be careful when leaving stuff in the lobby. the crowd seems to be mostly party loving frat boys who just want to drink in the hostel and not see the city. other than that, barcelona is great and the hostel is good.
