Worst hostel i ever seen
I can tell this was farbthe most terrible stay in Barcelona. Usually i like hostels with multiple beds no problem with that but this the worst. I cannot add photos i think there is a problem with the hotels.com site but i really wanted the shoe you guys that the pictures has nothing to do with the reality exept the lobby
Gabor, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was very friendly. The room is pretty bare bones, but ours was updated and comfortable. Towels and blankets are an extra fee. This isn’t the place to be if you need quiet. That said, you are so close to everything, it is a really good spot!

Party place!!
I booked a private room with private bathroom on the understanding that this would be no frills but just a clean base for us to explore Barcelona. Location is perfect and right in the heart of La Rambla but this is where the good bits stop! We checked in and were told that towels are not included in the room price. I showed my booking confirmation which stated differently and I was told that the booking confirmation was incorrect. I was however given towels and not charged as it was not my error. The reception area is like a youth club, pool tables and youths sitting around drunk and playing drinking games. We quickly left to go to our room! When we got to the room it was very basic! 2 single beds, a sink in the bedroom and a separate wetroom with toilet. The beds had some sort of plastic mattress protector and they were very uncomfortable. However, this was not the worst thing in the world so we settled down for sleep.....yep that was not happening. There was people screaming, shouting, singing, falling over right outside our door and also in the street outside (no double glazing at this place) this went on until after 4am both nights (Monday and Tuesday) we had no sleep at all other than when we used earplugs to drown out a little of the noise. When we checked out we asked if we could leave our bags to be told there is also a charge to this (1 euro per hour) By this time we just wanted to go and never return!!

2/10 Poor

The worst Experience of my whole life traveling. Was depress for me and my family. I never imagined that I going to be in a place like this. First, the room that they post on the advertising is not even close for the room that they gave me. Any room in a prisión have better conditions that that hole.The room was with bathroom and the told me that I have to share the bathroom with other peoples (ladies and gentlemen). One of the shower lock work didn,t work. NO HOT WATER IN ANY DAY AND ANY TIME TO TAKE SHOWER. We went to talk to the front desk person and they gave just excuu
