Barcelona Hostellit

Plussat: GOOD LOCATION: 20 minutes walk to Sagrada Familia, 30 minutes to the old town, bus stop a few minutes away. The hostel in general looks NICE AND CLEAN: dormitory room, private bathroom and especially common room and terrace. Free towel, hairdryer in the shared bathroom.

Miinukset: However the room has NO proper WINDOW, so there was a problem with fresh air (I guess the problem perceptible especially in the evening and after the shower or in the summer). The first day I asked the RECEPTION girl to reduce the temperature, 2nd day the other girl did it by herself. 3rd day during check out I recommended the reception guy to manage the temp. on a regular basis, but he said that I should ask for it. I find it disrespectful for your guests if you offer the room like that for 8 girls and DO NOT CARE about the air & temperature in the room. In addition, I asked the reception girl for the hour of mass in Sagrada Familia - she was not sure about it, so mentioned the evening hour. I believed the info from Internet and went there in the morning which was a good move. It shows that the STAFF smiles at you and is nice if you do not want anything, but in fact is not really helpful and does not care about you. ROOMMATES: When I came back to the room late, I tried to do everything quickly to not disturb anybody. I turn on the light assigned to my bed to check sth on the phone. To my surprise, the girl from the bed under mine was very annoyed by this, saying that she has to wake up early. I explained that she should expect sth like this if she rents the dormitory room. She was saying something in Spanish after my explanation that I don't speak Spanish, so I can only guess it was nothing nice. As we woke up the same time, I thought that she will feel embarrassed about her behavior... However, when I was sitting in the common area, she hit my chair, which I doubt was by accident... It made me feel to stay in the hostel, in the dormitory room and in Spain not comfortable. The other night, after coming back from sightseeing I met two guys playing the guitar in the common area, we talked a bit and it is a nice memory from that community, however, I have MIXED FEELINGS about the people there.

Plussat: Uusittu ilme oli pirteä ja raikas.

Plussat: They have one of the best locations to stay in, a welcoming staff and comfortable beds.

Miinukset: The floor underneath the bed could have been cleaner, the room could have a better ventilation (the air felt stuffy not only at night but throughout the day). Also, it would have been nice to receive information regarding the extra services and options you have around the area prior to my arrival.

Plussat: Hostellin sijainti mainio ja henkilökunta oli ihanaa, kannattaa kysyä heiltä vinkit niin raflojen kuin mukavien alueiden metsästykseen. Hostelli oli siisti ja kaunis.

Plussat: Nice hostel, fresh, clean. Personal helped me with information about city transport, showed my bed. I had a bed in a shared dorm, but it had curtain around it, so I was isolated. I also used a special locker in the dorm, it's big enough to put everything valuable in it and lock for safety.

Plussat: New. Clean. Comfortable beds.Good location. !!! Advice !!! A free simple breakfast will excellence the expectations and will balance the high prices. !!!

Plussat: I liked the fun, relaxed atmosphere and patio.

Plussat: The night staff were very helpful!

Plussat: I have never stayed in such a great hostel. It was spacious, clean, it had a beautiful big terrace, excellent selection for breakfast and was next to a gorgeous park. I highly recommend it.

Miinukset: There could be some hooks in the shower to hang your clothes on.

Plussat: Loistava sijainti aivan metropysäkin (universitat) läheisyydessä. Helppo liikkua joka paikkaan. Myös kävelyetäisyydellä paljon elävää seutua. Huoneet oli siistit. Plussaa siitä, että huoneisiin mennään sormenjäljellä, ei tarvitse huolehtia avaimista. Pyyhe 2e. Aamupala 6e. Ilmainen biljardi. Laukkujen säilytys mahdollisuus, jos esim lento lähtee illalla.

Miinukset: Vessoissa ei ollut käsipaperia, johon kuivata kädet. :)

Plussat: Sijainti ihan paras, lyhyt matka Ramblalle ja shoppailemaan, rannallekin kävelee. Vilkas ja eloisa ympäristö - paljon ravintoloita lähistöllä. Huippulöytö! Aamiainen hyvä - jos olisi ihan täydellinen voisi lisätä omeletin aamiaiselle.

Plussat: clean room Location view

Miinukset: the bed was a bit small.

Plussat: The location, the staffs and the breakfast are all great! For sure going to stay here again in our next trip.

Plussat: The hostel closed down because of the Coronovirus and no refund offered

Plussat: The first thing that I noticed was the amazing smell inside the facilities. The leaving area is very cozy. The location is perfect, very central. The staff is very friendly and very welcoming. I highly recommend to go to this hostel and for sure my next visit to Barcelona I'm going to this hostel again. Thank you very much for all staff specially to Ricado and Paula :)

Plussat: awesome room and location. Staff was great! They are still helping me to look for my cell phone I lost in a cab . I stayed here for 10 nights

Miinukset: there was a mold on a mattress above me

Plussat: Horrible

Miinukset: Horrible

Miinukset: Paula tried to fix problems after my first horrible night.

Plussat: The experience was great ... the pub downstairs the staff and the whole place had a great vibe

Miinukset: It was all good and i just dont have anything bad to say about it

Miinukset: Ilmanvaihtoa ei ollut, ei saanut avata ikkunaa ja tuntui että tukehdun ilman puutteeseen. Jalkahiki, vanha viina ja kuorsaavat dormitoverit tekivät yöpymisestä harvinaisen epämukavan. Olin varannut vain naisille tarkoitetun dormin mutta kyseessä oli kuitenkin unisex.

Plussat: The lockers in the room were huge and very useful. The place it's really nice, clean and comfy. You can have a private space because of the curtains, and I found it good

Miinukset: The people in the room were really rude. They made a lot of noise in the morning and talking out loud with each other. It's staff fault, but some rules have to be made, I guess :(

Plussat: Vastaanoton Henri oli super mukava ja avulias

Miinukset: Nuhjuiset vessatilat ja huono ilmanvaihto suihkutiloissa

Miinukset: I'm very happy but I think we need improvements. coronavirus il faut etre vigilant . with this epidemic of coronavirus one must be vigilant.. I saw a customer who was making holes. and it's dangerous .. you have to order the device that detects the temperatures of people who want to stay at the hotel it's not expensive.. because there were a lot of people especially when barcelona and real madrid play footbal..

Plussat: Me gustó el hotel, sencillo pero bien.

Miinukset: El área común deben modificarla, se ve un poco vieja, es mejor si hacen el bar y el área uno solo y no individual como esta ahora.

Plussat: The people

Plussat: Spacious, clean, close to everything, secure. Unlike other hostels i’ve visited, i’ve slept very comfortably in this one

Plussat: Henkilökunta oli mukavaa ja huone siisti ja sänky juuri sopiva, sai hyvät unet, myös huonekaverit olivat ystävällisiä ja mukavia.

Miinukset: Ei mitään valittamista.

Plussat: Met so many people.

Miinukset: Amazing place.

Miinukset: Too big. Here was my worst service I had ever before.

Plussat: Saapuessani hostelliin, tunsin itseni tervetulleeksi. Yksi henkilökunnasta puhui suomea. Sain paljon neuvoja ja apuja. Huone oli rauhallinen ja viileä. Muut huoneessa asuvat olivat myös ystävällisiä.

Miinukset: Samassa huoneessa nukkuva nainen kuorsasi äänekkäästi. Suihkusta tuli vettä pienellä paineella.

Plussat: I’ve been to many hostels in the past, but this one have something in particular. I really enjoyed my stay here : the staff was amazing. They were helpfull and really made my stay unforgettable!!! The dorms are really confy and the skate vibe is nice. Thanks for everything guys

Plussat: Iloinen henkilökunta. Edullinen illallinen.

Miinukset: Ohjeistus liittyen metrolle menoon.

Plussat: Huoneistossa oli parveke, se oli hyvä. Huoneistot olivat erillään dormeista. Keittiö oli astioiden puolesta hyvin tarpeellinen.

Miinukset: Aamiainen oli puutteellinen ja keittiöhenkilökunnan toiminnassa oli paljon epäselvyyksiä. Suihku oli käsittämättömän huono, pidempi ihminen ei välttämättä pysty siellä käymään. Keittiössä ei ollut tiskirättiä. Keittiössä tai wc:ssä ei ollut käsienpyyhintää varten mitään, saimmekohan tämän takia vatsataudin? Internet toimi hyvin puutteellisesti, lopetti itsekseen toimimisen milloin halusi, onneksi ei tarvinnut töitä tehdä. Äänieristys oli huoneistossa olematon. Suihku ja wc ei saisi olla samassa tilassa (ymmärrän, että tämä on vaikea toteuttaa monessa paikassa).

Plussat: good location,good price,good friendly staff,good events

Plussat: Staff was amazing, rooms were super clean but just very noisy so made it hard to sleep.

Miinukset: The rooms are very noisy

Plussat: The living room is comfy and quiet, feel good.

Miinukset: It took so long time to finish checking in, and the receptionist (a girl) was not so nice..

Plussat: 24 hour reception, I arrived in the night at 2 am due to flight problems and they were waiting for me. room is ok, nothing fancy but in general alright, bathroom clean, there is a kitchen as well. great location in city center.

Miinukset: single private room quite tiny but for a short time it's fine.

Plussat: There are rocker and good location.

Miinukset: Some neighbours are loud. Some staff are not kind to me.

Plussat: Hyvä ja runsas aamiainen. Hostellin sijainti erinomainen.

Miinukset: Naapuritalosta kantautuvat äänet klo 22 jälkeen. Ikkuna oli lähellä naapuritalon ikkunoita.

Plussat: Amazing parties and pub crawls each evening, people, location

Miinukset: -

Plussat: A cheap and cheerful overnight stay ideally placed in proximity to metro to permit exploration of the city and speedy access to onward travel links.

Miinukset: For what we sought, a cheap overnight stop, the hotel met all our needs but a longer stay would have been met with a request to address a drip sound emanating (not penetrating) from the floor above.

Plussat: The trafic is quite convenient. two blocks from the subway. It is clean.

Miinukset: Too noisy if you live in the rooms which are close to the living room or wash room.

Plussat: Separate room :)

Miinukset: My blankets had blood stains

Plussat: I like staff and that hotel was close to the shops, post office. It was clean and spacious.

Miinukset: Just every morning when someone had a shower... we heard it like the shower was in our room! Too thin walls:((

Plussat: I loved the guests there, international communicative people, very friendly staff!

Miinukset: --

Plussat: The staff was very friendly - first he did was a short tour guide in a map. The hostel is very close (one metro stop/5 minutes walk) to Sagrada Familia. Everything was OK, the area is silent and safe as also the hostel. And Barcelona is marvellous :)

Miinukset: The room was a bit dark, but I was just to sleep there, so it's not too important.

Plussat: very nice and helpfull staff, enough computers with free internet in the room beside the reception, everything is new and well equipped. cheap. good enough located.

Miinukset: room itself was tiny with beds one above another and without chair and wardrobe. window going out to washing mashine after wich was window to courtyyard. small dining room, not enough to hold everybody living in rooms at once. well enough if you are very communicative and not going to spend more time than only sleeping in your room.

Plussat: The people and the location

Miinukset: The pillows

Plussat: Great facilities, feels like home. Not too busy and the dorms have plenty of room. There is a decent breakfast and good hours so you don't have to be up too early!

Miinukset: The shower wasn't super hot each time I had one but this is the only negative thing.

Plussat: Paikalle oli helppo löytää. Respan henkilökunta ystävällinen. Huone oli siisti, tosin todella pieni eikä näin ollen kovin viihtyisä. Vessat siistit. Yö oli rauhallinen, koska ikkuna ei ollut ruuhkaiselle kadulle. Suuri plussa kun laukut sai jättää vastaanottoon uloskirjautumisen jälkeenkin maksutta.

Plussat: The reception was closed. Still they provided me with the key. They kept my luggage also after checkout so I didn’t have to carry it while in town

Plussat: Very friendly, helpful staff, nice kitchen, available all day. Silence, the opportunity to rest. Perfect location.

Miinukset: I do not like the views outside the window, that is, the lack of view, the proximity of the walls of the second building, clustered and no hangers in the room and a small room.

Plussat: Location and free breakfast

Miinukset: The rooms are small and the bathrooms could be cleaner but overall pleasant for a hostel setting

Plussat: Free coffee and tea all day.

Miinukset: There was insufficient hot water when showering. Some rooms were very noisy for sleeping.

Plussat: Breakfast: it offeres common toast, egg, milk. Though not delicious, you can be full. The location is great. Convenient to main street and city center.

Miinukset: The double rooms are all facing the street, which is very noisy. You need a pair of earplugs for sleep.

Plussat: Location and price. Breakfast is ok, but unidentified old food and moldy stuff found in the fridge.

Miinukset: Poor cleanliness in the bathrooms, stained sheets, showers need a thorough cleaning (bring flip-flops). Poor lighting (lack of windows) in the kitchen/living room area.

Plussat: Very helpful and kind staff

Plussat: Veeeery nice and helpfull people in Reception. They explain everything in perfect way.

Miinukset: The water in shower wasn't warm all the time, so during shower cold water came, what made uncomfortable feeling

Plussat: 1. Good location 2. With elevator

Miinukset: 1. If you wanna lock your locker, you have to "rent" the key lock 1 euro per day

Plussat: Great staff and nice atmosphere during my "normal" days.

Miinukset: I've been here during the Coronavirus crisis and they kept receiving people every day, no control at all. Very dangerous.

Plussat: Great staff who will help you with anything you need. Definitely worth the money I spent and the location is right near old town and walking distances from many great sightseeing places. Would stay again ⭐

Plussat: Clim,, location, staff, price ;)

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great place. So many nooks and crannies to sit in the lounge upstairs and down in the very artistic dinning room kitchen veranda. Nice decor. Right up my street. I had the best sleep and enjoyed the party atmosphere in the lounge. Staff were genuinely friendly. Area easy for me. Yep great.

Miinukset: No leave bag boxes that I could see but I felt safe anyway. I was only there 1 night. Sure there's more to see and know. I liked what I saw heard etc. A gem to me.

Plussat: The positive things about the hostel is its location and its cleanliness. Paying to stay at this hostel is paying for its convenient location. It's close to everything. However the hostel is not easy to find because of its tiny little sign. Difficult to find especially if the guests arrive at night and have no clue that the hostel's reception is not your typical hotel reception where you could obviously see through the glass windows on the ground floor but it is upstairs through a pair of thick wooden doors that can only be opened if you pressed the bell. The female toilets were rundown but quite clean during my stay, presumably they looked like they had been cleaned every day. Although I wish there was another set of toilets for female on the same wing of my room. The sheets were laundered and smelt clean. The duvet is light and a bit thin but no bed bugs so that is good!

Miinukset: Some of the staff weren't friendly in terms of welcoming the guests, saying a simple greetings were nonexistent from the front desk. On the other hand, there were some loud conversations and music from the reception in the evenings. Although they both quiet down after 11ish to midnight. As for comfort, the bottom bunk was given to me which I personally preferred but didn't requested. What I found annoying with the bed was how weak it was, that it dipped so low it almost touched the floor. I'm a petite girl so I think it was not because of my weight but that the bed had seen some uses and should be changed for a new one.

Plussat: Is beautiful and the people are carefully

Miinukset: The only bad thing is walking from the station

Plussat: the hostel is located on a beautiful hill with full of green. the staffs were very kind. the room was clean and tidy.

Miinukset: there wasn't shampoos for bath. the cleaning of the bathroom after shower was a burden on the guests. there was no wi-fi connection in the rooms even though it is written that there is connection everywhere in the adverts.

Plussat: Quiet - generally wasn't full of people looking to party and drink. Also, out of town, in the mountains so not as much city noise. Distance from town. Not a problem for us, but others may not like the distance from town, or the walk up the hill from the train station Car friendly. On street parking and an overflow parking lot. Good initiative. Staffed by physically and mentally disabled staff.

Miinukset: Getting a bit run down: - Beds weren't that comfortable. - There was a problem with the bathroom in our dormitory. I think one of the U-bends is draining so it smelt like sewage! Tiny, uncomfortable guest kitchen. Long, uncovered walk to get between our dormitory and the kitchen (or the reception/TV room/place where this is working WiFi). This means if its raining, prepared to get soaked!

Plussat: Breakfast. Spacious rooms. Peaceful and beautiful location. Free parking.

Miinukset: 1' I didn't like the smell from the showers. They are right in the room where the beds are. Although it is rather convenient. 2. You have to pay for your bed linen. At least that should be stated in the booking info.

Plussat: The staffs are very friendly and approachable

Plussat: Very clean. Good accomodations.

Miinukset: Too far from the city center. Go up a hill.

Plussat: I liked that there was a train station nearby even though it wasa far from the center of the city I was still able to get around quite easily

Miinukset: I liked everything, I just thought the hostel was pretty average.

Plussat: Very smooth check-in in the middle of the night. We had to leave before breakfast hours, but we were let into the restaurant and got something to eat anyway.

Miinukset: The place is pretty far from the city center.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Food

Plussat: breakfast ok, no traffic around and good beds.

Miinukset: The 956 steps (i counted) uphills were hard. Unprofessional staff talking, screaming and keeping noise in the restaurant and when cleaning.

Plussat: 24Hr Check in

Plussat: how easy it was to get to downtown even though the strike was going on!!!! I loved the nature around. Incredible value for all the great services and facilities.

Plussat: Great hostel with swimming pool and good facilities. Any problems were sorted quickly. Free WI FI. The employment of people with disabilities is also a big plus.

Miinukset: The location can make difficult to have a big night out in the city center (last train at mid night except on Sat) but it is the perfect location for those with a car (free parking) and public transport nearby.

Plussat: Only the price I'm afraid. Which actually wasn't worth it due to having to take an expensive taxi back from Barcelona as Trains stop at 23:30

Miinukset: The location is just not worth it. If you want to go into the Mountains and have a little stay in somewhere nice and lock yourself away from the city, this is your place. If you want to see Barcelona, DON'T!

Plussat: Price, generally better than UK Hostels.

Miinukset: Inconsiderate noisey guests

Plussat: the living areas, location in the park, great idea of employing people with special talents

Miinukset: I was moved 3 times from room to room - that was disturbing - but in the end it worked out

Plussat: The hostel is on the edge of zone1 in a quite neighborhood. Excellent price, peaceful environment, easy access with FGC. Best value for money ever.

Plussat: It's a very special hotel. It is run by people with disabilities, which makes it a unique enterprise. It is located 20 minutes for Barcelona's city center by train and yet it is in the middle of nature. It is quiet, great for rest. Facilities are new, spacious, 10 bed rooms are divided into 4 bed units, which gives more privacy that you'd expect, they have huge lockers, you can put anything that you can carry in them. The internet is available 24 hours. The bathrooms are spacious and clean. All the facilities look new and well kept. It is very quiet. You don't hear the ususal Barcelona noise so it's actually possible to sleep. And it is only 12 euros! The best value for money in Barcelona.

Miinukset: The kitchen should definitely be larger and it should be open all the time. Right now it is only open a couple of hours during the day. And they should have cerial for breakfast!

Plussat: Some working people of the hotel

Miinukset: Strange atitiute of the staff, during the handeling of breakfast / "not everyone is equally treathed"

Plussat: Waking up here is fantastic, open the big doors to your balcony! I enjoyed the crunchy bread!

Miinukset: The neighborhood is beautiful in the morning, in the evening it gets quite shady. A lot of trafficking going on, and watch out for pickpockets. The breakfast lady was very friendly, the reception guy in the night was grumpy as hell. Facilities are sufficient.

Plussat: Super friendly staff and great little studio flat. Perfect for what we were looking for.

Miinukset: Nothing.
