1. Location is great. Centrally located. With very good metro and bus connections.
2. Friendly and helpful staff
3. Tea, coffee and water available all the time. This one is very refreshing, specially after a long walking or before starting the day.
4. Before arriving, they sent me an email and offered an early check in, which we could not take, as we had a late flight. After checking out, we left our luggage in the storage which was great.
Negatives:
1. The triple room photos which I received was not the one in the sample photos. It was old, worn out and simple. Not satisfying and definitely not 215 square feet at all.
2. The room faced the street and unfortunately no sound proof. All Night through, you could hear the cars and the trash cars and the crowd. I had my ear plugs but was awake two or three times every night.
3. The breakfast package was always a cupcake and an industrial fruit nectar. They could replace that with milk and a small fruit to the package.
4. Safe did not work. No mirror in the room. One common fridge in the dining room.
5. Overall, the price value was not satisfying. Although the staff was trying to do their best, the shortcomings do not compensate for the price, specially when you book 5 or 6 months in advance. The location was great. The staff was great. But not the price value for the room that we recieved.
Excelente servicio ya que pudimos ingresar antes del horario previsto además ,de cortesía ,ofrecen desayuno y té o café para servirte cuando quieras
La habitación es muy cómoda
Volveremos cuando estemos en Barcelona!!!!
커피캡슐도 무료. 우유도 제공. 매일 청소. 청소하시는분도 친절. 위치 카탈루냐 광장 공항버스 탈때도 걸어서 오분.
Stanza pulita anche se nel mio caso troppo piccola. Ottima anche la posizione centrale.

Есть чай, кофе в любое время - это плюс. На завтрак дают кекс и сок. Правда в день выезда (у нас был ранний выезд) нам кексы не дали, а жаль, мы на них рассчитывали и вроде как было оплачено за это.
Между комнатой и коридоров тонкие стены, очень слышно, если кто-то ходит ночью или утром. Мешает спать немного.
Upon my arrival at this hostel, I was schooled in the art of "expectations versus reality." The first room they moved me into was reminiscent of a modern art installation titled "Despair." It looked nothing like the photos posted here. The bed was missing the headboard, which I initially mistook for a bold minimalist statement. But then I noticed the chipped paint, crumbling plaster, and penned graffiti, and I realized it was less "aesthetic intention" and more "maintenance procrastination."
The furniture, old and worn down, looked as if it was auditioning for a role in a shabby chic Pinterest board, but didn’t quite make the cut. The room smelled like they had just aggressively sprayed for bugs, which I suppose is better than finding out first hand why they needed to spray for bugs. The walls were an empty canvas of cold, blank space – perfect for a self-reflection session on why I didn’t read more reviews.
I requested a room change, hoping to swap my avant-garde cell for something more... humane. They assured me my previous room was a twin to the ones in the pictures posted here. I'm not sure if they were referring to the photos of their hostel or an abstract art gallery.
I give this place 3 stars because the evening manager, who must double as a magician, conjured up a room that actually resembled the ones we see here in the ad-photo. It only took a few hours, a moderately heated discussion, and my best "this is unacceptable" face to change rooms. The new room while closer to the images online had a distinct smell of backed up toliet (sewage). I aired out the room all night to dilute the smell.
The cost is the same as staying at a hotel in Barcelona - $120 a night after all the fees, plus you pay city tax upon arrival. For that price, I expected a little less "haunted house" and a little more "comfortable lodging."
If you're considering a stay here, my advice is this: Get an assurance that the room looks exactly like one of the options here (wherever you're booking) before booking. The first floor superior rooms (at least room 105) look like a special captivity space with access to a terrace – just in case you need an outdoor patio to scream into the void.
