?️ The bed was so comfortable and the ?♀️ services provided were top-notch. ? The location was perfect, close to the ? metro, ?️ arc of glory, and the ?️ Paseo de Garcia. This was definitely the ? best way to explore the city and meet amazing ??? people. Highly recommended!
This hostel was a great choice and I would definitely book a stay there again. The bathrooms and kitchen were kept clean, and the common areas were welcoming. The staff members, particularly Luci and Lucas, were wonderful. Thank you, Luci! If you're seeking activities, the hostel has a variety of options available and the "friendly dinner" is a must-try. The layout of the hostel can be slightly inconvenient, with only a single shared bathroom and shower room which are both quite small. The blankets provided were a bit uncomfortable as well. Despite these minor drawbacks, I highly recommend staying here.
I recently stayed at a hostel in Barcelona and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and the check-in process was seamless. The beds were comfortable and came with cozy blankets and pillows. One of the highlights of my stay was the free dinner cooked by the staff, as well as the various activities offered, including a popular pub crawl called the "night out tour." Our guide Seb was fantastic and made sure everyone had a great time. I had a blast and met some amazing people. Without a doubt, I would give this hostel 10 stars.
I had a wonderful experience at this hostel. It had a fantastic location and a great atmosphere. It was the only place I stayed at during my trip in Europe that offered a complimentary dinner. The volunteers were incredibly committed to bringing everyone together and there was a fun event held every night by the hostel. There were some minor issues, such as limited space in the washrooms and outdated lockers, but the welcoming vibe of the hostel made up for it. I must give a special shoutout to Zuzana, who kindly returned my Amazon package for me when I had already checked out. Thank you so much!
This hostel provided an amazing experience during my 5-night stay in Barcelona last September. After a few days in Madrid, I was greeted by a friendly and multilingual staff upon check-in. It was very helpful to have staff who could communicate with guests in different languages in a hostel setting. The people I met, both visitors and hostel workers, were incredible and I am already planning to come back in less than 2 months! The hostel itself was clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the necessary amenities for a fun-filled trip to Barcelona. The complimentary family-style dinner served every evening looked amazing and I cannot wait to join in next time I visit. In the evenings, the party kicks off with free shots from the pub crawl staff who also provide all the necessary information for the night's activities. With an average price of €20, it's a night you won't want to miss. You get to socialize and play ice breaker games with other participants before heading out as a group, sometimes even joining other hostels, to visit an average of 3 different venues, each with a welcome shot. The final club is always a hit. In case of emergencies or if you need assistance getting home, they also offer transportation and have a WhatsApp group for easy communication. During the day, there are always trips and events planned, making it one of my best experiences abroad to date!
