Hola Hostal Eixample

I stayed in a 16 girls room, the room is quite stuffy since the only window is at the corner of the room so there is no fresh air running. The air circulation system did not work well too. Bedding is good, neither too hard nor too soft. Yet, the hook for clothing is not enough so i end up sharing with others which is a little bit strange. Remember to bring an ear plug cause you never know who you staying with. The common bathroom’s hygienic condition is not that satisfactory as well. The circulation system is bad so its a bit smelly. The table is always fill with water. The flushing is not that strong so you need to hold it for a longer time. I like the hair dryer though, its strong and fast. Breakfast is average, toast and cereal, coffee and juice. Same everyday, not a problem. Better with some fruits.

I was only there for a few hours (needed a place to shower and nap before the next leg of my trip), so can't say much about the hostel. This review is coming from someone who's never had to stay in a hostel before! xD Pros: friendly and very helpful staff, clean hostel, comfortable bed, location was easy to find, very close to the central bus station! Cons: both hair dryers in the ladies shower of H9 wing was not working, I get the whole trying to save the environment thing, but I didn't particularly like the light sensor in the room that turns on automatically every time someone opens the door or walk close to it (inside).

Though there are many beds in a shared room, the condition of the room is good.
