Two major thumbs down. Staff (especially night staff) need immediate Customer Service and hotel management remedial training … as their actions breach all conventional worldwide standards (including potential libel issues). Thankfully moved to the Central House Barcelona Gracias for three additional and wonderful nights which completely salvaged the Barcelona leg of my Iberian peninsula trip (let alone much much better location and facilities at the SAME rate).

Room was a great size for a family of x 4 in central Barcelona. Cleaned every day plus fresh towels. Shower hot and powerful though transparent doors for shower and toilet won't be comfortable for all. Communal area a good space but the addition of some board games could help travellers socialise. Bar not always open but staff great when it was!

I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it. It was my first time staying in a Hostel with 2 friends traveling through Spain so I wasn't sure what to expect.

Good & Bad

The hostel’s location is fantastic , it’s close to public transport and major attractions.
- The common areas are trendy and social, perfect for meeting other travelers.
- Staff were friendly and helpful during check-in.
But …
- Noise Levels Were Unbearable: My biggest issue was the lack of sleep. The dorm was chaotic all night: people coming/going at odd hours, loud conversations, and even late-night showers. It felt more like a transit hub than a place to rest.
- Zero Consideration for Others: Some guests blasted TikTok videos without headphones. Basic hostel etiquette was missing.
If you’re a solo traveler looking to party and don’t care about sleep, this might work. But for anyone needing rest, think twice – the noise and lack of privacy ruined my stay. I left exhausted, not energized.

No privacy curtains

It's one star for a reason. They can't be bothered to install privacy curtains especially in the mixed rooms. The bathrooms are gross, only allowed to eat in the tiny kitchen in the basement where you received zero cell service. They won't store your luggage even though they have MASSIVE store on the side...just pick and choose who they offer it to. Spend the extra money, don't stay here.
If you REALLY don't care where you stay and on a SERIOUS budget...then you will like it. Otherwise

This was our first hostel experience and worked out great for our family of 4's short visit to Barcelona. The location is excellent, easily walkable from Aerobus stop and metro stations, as well as tourist areas. Although a busy/loud area, when the windows were closed, it was very quiet for sleeping. Kids enjoyed a few dips in the pool despite the cooler weather. Would highly recommend for an affordable stay in the city.

Very clean and modern hostel with efficient reception check in and out, fingerprint recognition, security for the front door and dorm rooms, large personal storage lockers, and very comfortable beds.

Super friendly and helpful staff and a great, all you can eat buffet breakfast for an extra charge.

Beautiful pool table, although only one cue has the regular tip.

Nice second story Terrace with a small swimming pool although when I was there in mid October, the water was too cold for me and because of tall buildings true sunbathing is limited to about one hour in the middle of the day.

30 percent more expensive than nice but older hostels in the old city and the prices seem to rise If you book close to arrival, so if you know your dates, it's wise to book a week or two in advance.

So many better hostels in BCN

I stayed in two hostels while in Barcelona, this was my second, it was way over priced, zero service. I did not get a welcome drink as a gold member as advertised and no breakfast which was meant to be included. Reception lady was very rude, insisting I have to store my bags after checkout in a payable locker per hour, this is after they charge you €8 for a padlock. Basically very unapproachable staff, not helpful at all. I felt as a disabled guest they mistreated me, I will not be returning or booking again didn't even get the free room upgrade, booked 8 bed hostel room.

This is a wonderful hostel; it's priced a bit higher than other ones in the area but the pool and appealing common spaces made it worth it in my opinion. The building itself is beautiful. Breakfast is high-quality and has a variety of options. The pool was a godsend on a hot summer day when I wanted to just chill and relax. Wifi didn't work very well in my room but worked well in the bar/lounge area. Also: luggage storage is not free (they have a paid locker system) if you arrive early or want to store your bags after checkout.

A comfortable, clean, hip hostel

Clean and comfortable. The only downside is the 4 ppl private suite room is very small. There is no desk in the room if anyone needs one to do some work. The ac is awesome. Not the window type that makes loud noises that most hotels have. It runs quietly and keeps the room comfortable. Wish the room is a bit bigger. Bathroom area is very small and somewhat open…
Breakfast is adequate. It’s the same thing every day so one might get bored of it. Very little protein - hard boiled eggs or mini sausages. Kitchen is in the basement and we never used it. Didn’t get the chance to use the pool either.

There is a lounge area with PCs and a separate kitchen for use by guests. The direct bus from the airport stops only a few meters from the hostel and the Universitat metro is also very close by.

Awesome hostel in the middle of the city

We booked a 6 beds private room for 5 of us.(My husband , myself and 3 kids) It was our last day of Barcelona and we had to go to airport by 5am next morning so we were only there to sleep for 7 hours. Our room had 3 bunk beds, (6 beds) and 6 lockers, 2 shower, 1 toilet. I wanted somewhere we can check out at 4.30am and this hostel was perfect as it is 24 hours reception. We thought we might need their help to call a maxi taxi for us but luckily we found one on the street right in front of the hostel. A receptionist was calling a taxi company for us but we found one before he connected to a line. Check in and check out was quick. We had one hour early check in and we walked to Casa Mira and that area. Had a fab Tapas for our dinner nearby. We also used the laundry there (4 euro for a big dryer - Maytag brand! Not sure how much for washing machine) as our previous Airbnb apartment washing machine was broken so I felt like I should have stayed here longer!

This was the first hostel I have ever stayed at and I have to say they have set the bar high for me. They cleaned the room everyday. The staff was awesome! It felt safe with the fingerprint access. Honestly the worst thing was someone ate the loaf of bread I bought lol. It is located close to the metro and between to big plazas which made it easier to find your way back if you got lost. All you had to do was me too one of the plazas and so eone could poi t you in the right direction. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Not a party hostel but had the opportunity to have fun nights too...
