A cheap and reliable option!
The staff was helpful, allowing me some flexibility in storing my bags. There was a lounge that was comfortable and convenient, the room was quiet, secure, and clean.

The wood pods are unsleepable. Bad air circulation. Pictures look way better online than in real life.
I left my pod after 15 mins and never came back and will never come back.

Great Stay, Open Late
We were arriving in Barcelona very late from our flight and needed somewhere with a late check in. We found this hostel and were very surprised how nice and clean it was. Highly reccomend staying here and dont let it being a hostel turn you off. We have a private room and it was great.

Lovely
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.

Clean friendly hostel
Excellent and clean hostel. Great helpful staff. Stayed in female dorm, very clean rooms, bed and bathrooms. However the mattress on my bed was bit too soft so had few uncomfortable nights. 10 mins walk from Sants Barcelona, the main station connected to airport metro and where trains leave for big cities. 30mins walk to city centre.

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.

Friendly, professional, quiet, central hostel. Bunks with excellent mattresses and privacy blinds, plenty of secure luggage space and reliable wifi.
