The location is great. It is extremely noisy at night. The doors slam very loudly and the neighbours are not quiet, no matter the time of the night. I found it very hard to get any sleep. This is definitely a “no frills” place. Do not expect anything more than a simple room. It would also be nice if there was more than one towel, especially for a long stay.

The room was so incredibly hot, I slept in a pool of sweat, and tried open my window to get some air , however, I was met face to face with the neighbour’s bathroom next door, so that was kind of awkward. I also asked them to clean, and they took out the garbage, but maybe I was expecting too much? The bathroom was great, the housemates were great, staff tried to help, when I needed it mostly - one guy gave me a hand towel to use for my body after showering (this happened two days in a row). It’s good if you’re on a budget, and maybe not when it’s a heat wave, and maybe when you have your own body towel.

Nous avons payé une chambre 90€, avons séjourné dans une mini chambre avec un lit superposé sans lumière. Nous avons été réveillé par le bruit. La douche était froide, et nous devions laisser couler l'autre douche 10min avant d'avoir de l'eau chaude. Vraiment pas écologique.

Ruim, quente e antigo.

O quarto era muito quente, nao havia ar condicionado. A hospedagem nao oferece café da manhã. O elevador é antigo, lento e não cabe duas pessoas com malas. Não há sinalização boa para a rua, demoramos para encontrar o hostel e quando você entra no edifício a porta bate forte e faz muito barulho. Além disso, após entrar no edifício, não existe sinalização de qual andar fica a recepção, foi bem complicado descobrir.

Idéalement placé mais bruyant

L'auberge est idéalement placée dans le centre de Barcelone (quartier de L'Eixample, à deux pas du Passeig de Gràcia), position centrale pour aller voir tous les points d'intérêt à pieds ou en transport. Le personnel qui nous a accueilli était très aimable. Nous étions à l'étage des chambres individuelles avec salle de bain et toilettes communes : tout était propre et la chambre fonctionnelle. Le gros bémol : notre chambre donnait sur une grande avenue passante, de jour comme de nuit. Pas l'idéal pour une nuit au calme. Sinon RAS.

部屋がタバコ臭くて最悪だった。 疲れていたので、着いた時にベッドで寝ようとしたが、タバコ臭すぎて休めなくて体調が余計に悪くなった。 そのあと外出する予定があったが、人生で初めて道で吐いてしまった。 自分が泊まってるフロアの、シャワーのお湯もぬるすぎて、違うフロアのシャワーを使った。 受付スタッフは良かった。 でも臭くて快適に休めなかったので、泊まる場所選びを間違えたと思った。体調が悪くなったら、せっかくの海外旅行での観光が苦痛になる。全くおすすめできない。

Ophold med lidt mangler

Vi fik vildt god service da vi ankom, og fik endda lov til at komme ind før. Værelset var småt men fint til det vi skulle bruge det til, det, som var “problemet”, var at værelset var enormt varmt. Vi blev nødt til at have 2 blæsere tændt hele dagen, fordi vinduet var lige ud til en baggård hvor der ingen luft kom igennem. Badeværelserne var okay rene, men noget af det så lidt gammelt og rådnet ud. Derudover kunne det ene toilet ikke låses, men det var det med det pæneste bruser. På vores sidste dag stoppede alt vandet også imens en af os var i bad. Der var heller ingen vand i håndvask og vi kunne heller ikke skylle ud i toilettet. Så selvom vi sov fint i sengen, var der virkelig mange mangler. Især fordi prisen også var liiidt til den høje side ift. det man fik.
