Guest Reviews

• Julie (5/5): Très bon emplacement mais manque d’hygiène et trop cher - Emplacement et personnel au top Gros manque d’hygiène surtout dans toilettes et salles de bains Lit et coussins peu confortables Mal insonorisé Mauvais rapport qualité prix
• Kym (10/5): Clean and great base for a few days - Very close to the beach First time in a hostel
• špela (10/5): -
• Byron (7/5): La mejor ubicación frente al mar - Si la ubicación es la mejor Debería funcionar el aire acondicionado en las noches por hay habitaciones compartidas
• Hanna (2/5): A disgusting, dirty hostel with a complete lack of proper service and a careless attitude towards guests, saved only by - What did you like about the property? Location: The main and only major plus is that the hostel is located right by the sea. You step outside and you are immediately on the beach, yet you can also quickly walk to the city center. Price: One of the cheapest options in Barcelona with such a great location. Communication: The general manager speaks good English (unlike most of the other staff). Helpful night receptionist (with a twist): On my first night, another guest decided to take over my bed and moved my things (apparently missing my white blazer because it blended in with the white pillows). The plus side is that the night receptionist reacted quickly, blocked the other keys, and resolved the issue, for which I am grateful. He spoke good English, though he still didn't miss a small opportunity to flirt with me. I have stayed in more than 100 hotels across Europe throughout my life, but this experience was by far the worst. I specifically waited two weeks to write this review with a cool head. Incompetent staff: I booked two beds under my name for myself and my friend. They split us up: my friend was placed in a female dorm, and I was put in a mixed one. The boys working at the reception clearly had this as their very first job. They barely understood English. I begged them to change my room every single day and was ready to pay extra, but they did absolutely nothing. Meanwhile, my friend's room was half-empty for two nights—meaning there were free beds, but the management simply didn't care to resolve the issue. No basic amenities included: The staff didn't even warn us that towels are not provided (you have to buy them for 2 euros). There is also an additional service charge on-site, so be prepared to pay extra. Locker locks are paid: You have to buy your own padlock for the locker at the reception. On the "bright" side, you get to keep this cheap lock as a souvenir of this awful place (if you ever need it, of course). Check-in chaos: The magnetic tag system for beds doesn't work. Guests can easily come in and occupy your bed, moving your personal belongings. The guy who hijacked my bed ended up being the loudest snorer in the room, making it impossible to sleep. Terrible sanitary conditions: The room was filthy, with trash on the floor. I have serious doubts that the bedding was changed before I checked in, as there were stains and someone else's hair on it. There was also constant renovation work going on in the lobby or the cafe in front of the hostel. 10-minute rush cleaning: I witnessed the cleaning once. The cleaning lady politely asked me to leave because she only had 10-15 minutes to clean the entire room. Obviously, it is impossible to clean properly in such a short time, so it wasn't noticeably cleaner after she finished.

• Mounaime (4/5): -
• YAMILE (10/5): - La ubicación, confortable y limpio.
• Heloiza Cambraia (7/5): - Localicao muito boa. Quartos limpos e organizados. O recepcionista da parte da noite super rude…
• daza paucar (10/5): -
• Heloisa (8/5): - Gostei da localização e de fácil acesso caminhando pela cidade. Algumas hóspedes não respeitavam o silêncio .
• Eddy (5/5): -
• Tone Fuhre (5/5): Anbefales pga beliggenhet, rene senger, og hyggelig personale. God overnatting for pengene. - Beliggenheten var fantastisk. Kan anbefale stedet bare på grunn av denne. Hyggelig personale. Madrassen i overkøya var nedligget med et søkk i mitten. Jeg veier kun 62 kg, så det burde den tåle. Toalettet på rommet manglet dosete. Det er ekkelt å sette seg rett på porselenet, når man er kvinne. Toalett og dusjrom burde ha knagger på veggen, eller en krakk, for å henge håndkleet/toalettmappe. Overflater og speil på bad kunne vært tørket bedre av. Dørhåndtak bør smøres opp, så de ikke knirker unødvendig for gjestene. Mye støy fra gjester som prater sammen, i telefonen, eller går ut og inn av rommet til alle døgnets tider.

• Jan (2/5): - Ich war pünktlich da und wurde nicht mehr angenommen. Die Nacht musste ich auf der Straße verbringen. Mein Geld habe ich bis heute nicht zurückbekommen.
• Baris (10/5): -
• Santiago Allauca (10/5): - muy Bueno lugar
• Sara (5/5): Un hostel aceptable - La ubicación es excelente (justo al lado de la playa) y está bien comunicado (a menos de media hora andando estás en el centro). Las camas son cómodas y el hecho de que tanto la litera de arriba como la de abajo tengan cortinilla proporciona la privacidad necesaria en un hostel. También cuentan con taquillas. La limpieza de los baños es muy mejorable. Teniendo en cuenta que las habitaciones son de 8/10 personas quizás tendrían que ser higienizados un par de veces al día. El suelo siempre está encharcado y lleno de arena. La ducha va con temporizador y está anclada a la pared, así que a no ser que quieras mojarte el pelo, tienes que hacer alguna que otra acrobacia para asearte. Tampoco había gel disponible.

• Ahmed (1/5): Shall be blacklisted - They have no respect to their guests, your booking will randomly get cancelled while you are flying to Barcelona and you will suffer to find an alternative which is something impossible at 2 am in the morning.

• Тетяна (10/5): -
• Alessandra (8/5): - Di fronte la spiaggia, in posizione strategica. Lenzuola veramente profumate. Camera silenziosa, letto in privacy grazie alla tendina. Manca un luogo dove poter conversare o mangiare
• Krisztián (8/5): -
• mohamed (3/5): - L'emplacement Les matelas n'ont pas fe conforts les portes cassées difficile a fermer

• _Clara (9/5): - Ubicación a pie de playa, buena relación calidad precio. Habitacion limpia y silencio desde las 22h.
• Seemesh (1/5): Did not got my deposit back - I was told by the sea hostel employees that I need to wait till 5 business days for my refund. And now it’s almost a month but I did not got a refund. Even when i waited for 5 business days then they are not replying to my messages. If I need to pay this much money extra why should I not book an another one which even have more facilities.
• Marta (10/5): - Wygodne lozko, świetna lokalizacja, plaza za drzwiami hostelu, czystość na wysokim poziomie, znakomita cena.. Wszystko na tak
• Gaelle (8/5): - Perfect location directly on the Barceloneta beach, nice staff and safe with a wristband control by night. Lot of bars / restaurants / shops around, public transportation or taxis. Would be nice to open the windows to enjoy the sea view indeed.
• Giampaolo (9/5): -
• karlijn (9/5): Mooie locatie! Vriendelijk personeel. - De ligging van het hotel is echt prachtig. Het is schoon en ruim opgezet. Het inchecken zelf duurde erg lang. Wel makkelijk 20 min per persoon/stel. In andere hostels ben je binnen 5 min klaar. Vooral als je om 15:00 met meerdere mensen komt, sta je makkelijk een uurtje te wachten tot dat je aan de beurt bent.
• Jaber (5/5): -
• Briand (9/5): Cerca al mar y su precio? Vale la pena - Muy espacioso, en la zona que me alojé había mucho espacio entre camas… de los pocos hostales que he encontrado con el espacio y los baños están bien, con un poco de óxido a los lados del inodoro La supervisora habla como si estuviera regañando, pero quizá solo sea perspectiva mía, no dejan guardar comida si no se compra en el restaurante de ellos
• Nawfel (2/5): -
• Gonzalo (7/5): Super - Emplacement parfait. En face de la plage. Ideal pour sortir du lit et mettre les pieds dans l'eau Un voisin qui ronflait
• Berfin (7/5): -
• Berfin (7/5): -
• Oanh (5/5): Beach Location - Has a good location near the beach, restaurants, markets and bus stops. Though they have a washer (€4) and dryer (€3) available for guests, they don’t work well. The spin cycle of the washer doesn’t work so laundry must be hand wrung after washing. The heat for the dryer works but air does not flow so the dryer door must be opened every few minutes to let the humid air out.

• Davita (8/5): - Good location Windows have no curtains and lights outside stay on all night so the top bunks are VERY bright. Kinda hard to sleep.
• Muhammed (1/5): Lage Top rest Flop.. - Lage Mitarbeiter und die Managerin
• Vitória (10/5): A really good place to stay, I’d comeback - It’s a clean and nice place, they’re very organized The way that the shower works
• Jason (10/5): -
• Manizha (5/5): -
• Dariusz (10/5): -
• Esther (6/5): Mediocre - The curtains of the beds are very dark, which helps sleeping well. Also female dorm was a blessing, everyone was very polite and quiet. The drawers to put things in are very spacious and can be locked with a small padlock (like the one for luggage). Because of a problem I had with check in and payment which the hostel described to be due to Booking.com, I got offered a free coffee. The location of the hostel is splendid, shower very good. Booking.com / the hostel didnt alllow me to check in on the morning of my second day, however I did have to pay "tourist tax" for the first day, even though I was not there on the first day and was only allowed to check in after 15.00 on my day 2. I had communicated this and asked questions about it to the hostel beforehand, but they seemed to have no idea about it on location. The "safe area" for storing luggage is just an open room with open shelves next to the desk. So I had to drag my things around both before check in - as well as after - since I had lots of valuables with me from work. Most of the staff is really young. They are friendly, but don't know recommendations or basic stuff. I asked for instance where else I could leave my luggage and they had no idea. They didn't have a simple First Aid kit, they sent me to a pharmacy for plasters. The beds have some sort of foam that completely sink when one lays in one sport for a while. The shower light timer is extremely short and doesn't respond to movement properly, so showering in the dark for most of the time. All in all a mediocre stay.
• Violette (5/5): - Le matelas est confortable et le rideau isole bien L'emplacement est juste en face de la plage, donc ça c'est super et le personnel est gentil J'étais dans un dortoir de 8, nous avions une douche pour notre chambre. Le problème est que l'eau était froide-tiède. Nous ne pouvons pas régler la puissance du jet qui est assez fort (comme une douche de plage) et la lumière s'éteignait toutes les 8 secondes à peu près (sorte de minuterie) donc il faut sortir de la douche, faire un geste pour que la lumière se rallume. Il n'y a pas d'espaces communs où se retrouver, sauf la chambre. Et moi qui suis frileuse, je trouvais que l'équipement du lit est sommaire : il y avait juste des draps (j'y étais en mai). J'ai demandé un plaid/couverture à l'accueil mais je n'ai jamais pu en avoir car ils attendaient qu'elles reviennent de la laverie.
• George (10/5): -
• Viktoria (9/5): -
• Lala (8/5): -
• Clark (2/5): Feels dissorganzied - I liked the location and that the beds had curtains They moved me from midday from one bed to another room and just had all my stuff in a plastic bag in the hallway so that felt a little violating and i wish they told me the night before when checking in I would need to move so that was not a fun experience.

• Antônio Carlos (10/5): -
• Diego Javier (9/5): -
• Tadeo (7/5): Regular - La ubicación frente al mar es excelente, y la atención de una chica en particular fue muy buena. No sé abren las ventanas, por lo que no se puede ventilar la habitación y puede ser un gran problema compartiendo con gente... Y el personal, a excepción de una sola persona, fue bastante malo. Igual parecían bastante explotados, ya que parece que tienen que atender el bar también...
