Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The property does not offer parking. If you plan to drive, you'll need to arrange parking elsewhere.
  • Adults-only policy — This hostel does not accept children. It's aimed at adult travellers, so families with kids need to look elsewhere.
  • Basic breakfast — Breakfast is available but described as basic and cheap. It's enough to start the day, but don't expect a full spread.
  • Overall rating below area average — The hostel's overall rating of 6.7 is lower than the Barcelona average of 8.8. While many individual reviews are positive, it's worth weighing that gap.

“The decor is nice, bathrooms are large, and the staff were friendly. The elevator and lockers worked well, sheets were clean, and the rooms felt secure with card entry. It's a young, cool atmosphere and a good value for the price. Location is perfect and easy to reach from the airport. Some reception staff were particularly welcoming. Breakfast was basic but cheap. A big shout to staff member Louis for his help.”

“It's a lovely old building that's been newly refurbished inside. Everything was clean, and the staff were friendly, especially Juan on reception. It's in a safe area, unlike some hostels near Las Ramblas, and within easy reach of many sights. There are good shops and restaurants nearby.”
