Very happy with the hostel/motel. It surpassed my expectations. They were in the middle of a name change, everything is newly renovated. It gives you the feel of a college dorm on the main floor. Couches, common areas, kitchen area. The staff is AMAZING, friendly, competent, on point with everything you need. The pricing was extremely reasonable for the area. The rooms were great. Our group took a full room with 4 beds and a private bathroom. It was spacious and had patio!! Great place to stay in a city like Barcelona. 5 stars, I would come back any time.

This property is not what I expected and is not worth the money. From the photos it looks much nicer but when we got there we were surprised. Despite being in a good area for tourists, the price of the room is far too high for what you get. There is no air conditioning, do not provide towels, nothing but a bed and bin in the room, the toilets are small, comfortable and the floors always wet from the showers. There was a kettle, microwave, toaster and fridge downstairs in the common space. There’s also a balcony which was nice to sit on and enjoy the sun. Overall I disagree with the price and think they need to upgrade a bit if they want to charge so much. Would not stay again. Thank you to the staff who were friendly

First, the room that they post on the advertising is not even close for the room that they gave me. Any room in a prisión have better conditions that that hole.The room was with bathroom and the told me that I have to share the bathroom with other peoples (ladies and gentlemen). One of the shower lock work didn,t work. NO HOT WATER IN ANY DAY AND ANY TIME TO TAKE SHOWER. We went to talk to the front desk person and they gave just excuu

Party place!!

I booked a private room with private bathroom on the understanding that this would be no frills but just a clean base for us to explore Barcelona. Location is perfect and right in the heart of La Rambla but this is where the good bits stop! We checked in and were told that towels are not included in the room price. I showed my booking confirmation which stated differently and I was told that the booking confirmation was incorrect. I was however given towels and not charged as it was not my error. The reception area is like a youth club, pool tables and youths sitting around drunk and playing drinking games. We quickly left to go to our room! When we got to the room it was very basic! 2 single beds, a sink in the bedroom and a separate wetroom with toilet. The beds had some sort of plastic mattress protector and they were very uncomfortable. However, this was not the worst thing in the world so we settled down for sleep.....yep that was not happening. There was people screaming, shouting, singing, falling over right outside our door and also in the street outside (no double glazing at this place) this went on until after 4am both nights (Monday and Tuesday) we had no sleep at all other than when we used earplugs to drown out a little of the noise. When we checked out we asked if we could leave our bags to be told there is also a charge to this (1 euro per hour) By this time we just wanted to go and never return!!

Bunk beds have no lights. The space between bunk beds is at around 24 inches. Nobody could sit straight. Staff is slow to check you in. They sell more than they can take care of. There is no kitchen to cook, no microwave, no dishes, no refrigerator.
