Nice little hostel in a great neighborhood. It was close to the metro and bus - making it easy to get to the main attractions. The hostel is a bit small, but it is clean. The 4 bed dorm is a bit small, shower is very tiny and didnt drain, the light was not blocked well in the bunk, the walls were thin so when my neighbor in the room next door had their lights on, it would cause a slight illumination in my bunk. Kitchen use was great, but unfortunately the pans werent great so it was difficult to cook.

Otherwise staff is fantastic and this was good value for the money.

I stayed at Free Hostels Barcelona for one night. I chose it due to its proximity to Barcelona Sants station - it was only a short walk away. I stayed in a private room with ensuite. It was a cheap place to stay, so my expectations were not high. I would note however that walls were not particularly soundproofed - I could hear people taking in the the adjacent room as I was trying to sleep.

This Hostel was clean and comfortable, and quite most of the time I was disappointed that, at almost 70 years old and having requested a bottom bunk, they were unable to oblige with this. The other difficulty I had may have been related as all communication, emails mostly, was done in Spanish, so I was unaware at times what they were trying to tell me. Now, that's largely my own fault, but they might consider using English as well, as this language is spoken world wide.

My First Hostel Experience – A Complete Nightmare

This was my very first experience staying in a hostel – and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room.

As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation.

What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. I’m still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel.

To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.

Had to booked last minute due to holiday problem. I’ve never stayed in a hostel before so was quite apprehensive. Booked at 9pm for arrival at midnight. Thank god they were there for me at that time of night. Only stayed six hours as was on a flight the next morning but the bed was fabulous and the services I used (power and bathroom) were appreciated. Would like to come back and actually stay here longer as I’m now far more open to hostelling and felt very safe.

Pictures are misleading

Disappointing. Pictures make the property look much nicer. The room could was not entirely clean and generally, the property is very old and run-down. Also there was very poor soundproofing between the rooms and common areas and spent a night up listening to the neighbours talking at what seemed to be a normal volume.

The staff was very nice and I appreciated the common areas and kitchen, but overall, not the comfortable stay that I was expecting.

I really think the deal was unbeatable at the time of my stay. I loved having the privacy of a top bunk \"nest\", the blackout curtains make all the difference when you're staying in a hostel with strangers. The bathroom is cleaned daily but bring your own towel or you have to rent one. There is ample storage space, bring a padlock with you for security. The area is not the absolute best but it's quiet and close to public transit which gets you anywhere easily. Breakfast was great, better than I expected. I stayed for a week and would happily have stayed longer. It's not really a party hostel which was a plus for me.

O edifício é seguro, acesso por cartão de contato, acesso ao quarto e ao banheiro, idem. O quarto feminino é um pouco apertado, duas hóspedes não conseguem mexer no maleiro ao mesmo tempo, por exemplo. Meu único incômodo: não há tomadas na cama, somente um USB (disponibilizam adaptadores na recepção), eu que gosto de carregar vários itens ao mesmo tempo, achei disfuncional.

Nao foi oferecido outra acomodação, pois disseram que o hostel estava cheio e nem outra alternativa de hospedagem.Tive que antecipar o meu check out e ir para um hotel.

For just one night, the hostel was ok. However, the room was very small for 6 beds. It was impossible to use the drawer under the bed if there was another person in the bed opposite. The bathroom sink was also very small with a cabinet above it that made it difficult to use the sink. The room next to the kitchen was not very quiet, as people were socializing there, which is to be expected. However, there could be a time limit. People talking loudly almost midnight is not nice. Despite being small, the facilities were clean. The staff were very friendly.

カタルーニャ広場から、歩いて20分ほど。オープンデッキのツアーバス乗り場からの距離も近く、アクセスがいい。サグラダ・ファミリアまでは地下鉄で4駅ほど。

4人部屋のドミトリーで上段ベッドでしたが、はしごではなく階段だったので、上段でも不便はなかったです。また、階段が引き出しになっていて、日常使いのサニタリーなどをしまえて便利でした。

ロールスクリーンも着いていて、プライバシーも保たれる。

フロントにある紙に名前を書いておけば、スタッフが作る夜ご飯を6€くらいで食べれる(簡単なものだけど)他の旅行者とコミュニケーションとれるし、楽しいです。

海外のドミトリーはあまり清潔じゃないとこが多いけど、ここはまた利用したいと思いました。
