Guest Reviews
- Katherine (10/5): - Loved this place! Sweet people. Helpful staff. I loved the neighborhood with it's architecture, tapas, wide range of price options. Easy to get taxis, too. AC was great; we actually got a little too cold and agreed to shut it off. I stayed in Room 3, all women, and everyone was respectful and kind. It’s a low-cost hostel so keep your expectations realistic. But if you just need a bed to sleep in while you explore Barcelona, and save your money for food and fun, this is a great place.
- Brianna (10/5): - Staff was very friendly and answered all our questions and also gave good local suggestions. It was my boyfriend’s first hostel expense and he was pleased.
- Juan (10/5): - The hostel location is great to the none-touristy areas very local eateries, bars and close enough to the other "touristy" things you can or have to do. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Plus, the room have air conditioning (AC) which is awesome. HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!
- Spencer (6/5): Needs basic upgrades, find private room elsewhere - Negatives: Bathroom ceiling tiles have mold, there are no full length mirrors in the private rooms, internet is very slow, no hooks on door or wall to hang towels in private rooms, hallways are VERY humid with no fans in the bathrooms for shower, there are a LOT of steep stairs. They don’t participate in any typical hostel actives (eg family dinners, bar crawl, walking tours etc) or help you find them. Positives: it’s near the metro, plenty of people on the street (even late at night), good tapas across the street, discount codes for all the local attractions in the lobby, free (bad) coffee 24/7, occasional fruit offered at breakfast was so nice to have as a snack (they should ditch the bad muffins & pastry and stick to oranges, bananas, and toast). Good kitchens—very clean! The dorm rooms looked nice and we would return to them in a group because the prices here are low compared to other spots. But we wouldn’t do a private room here again.
- Kenneth (10/5): - It might not be for everyone, because it's not a hotel, but a hostel, so you need to know that you will share bathroom and other facilities (even if you have your own room, which I did). You will probably also need to climb stairs, so, if you have a problem with that, you need to alert them in advance. That said, you are getting what you paid for, so, if you're working on a tight budget, this is great. It's a short walk from the nearest Metro, there are several nice restaurants and take-aways in the area, it was mostly quiet (it's a hostel, remember), and the staff were friendly and accommodating.
- Caroline (10/5): - Convenient and safe for females solo travelers
- Enrique (8/5): - Cool staff, noise on next building
- Carly (10/5): Great stay! - Really helpful staff, and very accommodating
- Andrea (8/5): - Gutes Hostel, in Hafennähe gelegen.
- Megan (10/5): - It was a very convenient location. Super close to everything. Bars, restaurants, and a concert venue all in walking distance. The free coffee, and breakfast and water were super nice and for a hostel has a lot of showers and bathrooms. Even a terrace. Most of the staff were super helpful too.
- Andrew (8/5): - Good hostel, friendly staff, excellent location
- Frank (10/5): - Excellent for the $
- Mauricio (10/5): - Would totally stay here again
- Jean (10/5): Barcelona holiday - Everything was perfect just the room colleagues was noising.
- Marta (8/5): - Brenda, Sebastian and Abraham were awesome helpers giving tips and advice to visit the city.
- Marta (8/5): - Sebastian and Abraham were really helpful and kind.
- Léna (10/5): Top - Mon séjour au Mambo Tango s'est très bien déroulé. Equipe accueillante et disponible. Bien situé et proche des transports. Le lieu et propre et possède tout le nécessaire. Je recommande !
- Elioenai (10/5): Excelente custo benefício - Pousada muito bem localizada próximo ao metrô e vários pontos turísticos. Funcionários Muito atencioso e gentil Excelente custo benefício
- Carolina (10/5): - Nada negativo por decir
- Norberto (2/5): - No respetan las reservas hechas en expedía.
- brahim (2/5): - Hostel très mauvais , service null , j'ai payè 100€ pour rester une heure ....
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing staff and experience were excellence. I enjoy My stay at this location. I will definitely return my next trip.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - My stay was good. But in my view they should improve the conditions of their rooms for example put light in every bed. I would say also they have to do something about their toilet and bathroom to reduce the noise because from the room where I was I could hear the noise when people took shower or used the toilets.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Staff are nice. Location is all good. But the bed make loud noises. I have been bit by bed bug at one night. This was really lowered my points to the hostel. No light for each individual bed.
- Boukhari (10/5): - Gooooooooood Goooooooooooood Gooooooooood Goooooooooooood
- simone (10/5): - Bernard Is number one
- Muhammad Awais (8/5): Excellent location. - Excellent location. Good Value for Money.
- Bruno (6/5): Basic hostel - The hostel is basic and outdated. Location is good. Apart of that nothing special to say.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Leider achtet das Personal nicht auf die Ruhezeiten. Im Mehrbettzimmer war an Nachtruhe nicht zu denken. Ansonsten gepflegter Zustand.
- MK (8/5): - Good though quit basic. it's clean. the staff is nice.The location is excellent. Better go outside for breakfast. Going away from the Parallel and into the neighborhood you would find very nice local shops and restaurants.
- Mariana (6/5): Localização único ponto positivo - O único ponto positivo é a localização. As camas são ruins, a limpeza é precária e o café da manhã é servido na recepção.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - In the heart of Gothic Quarter. We had some wifi issues because we were in the room in the back and we kind of felt abandoned, but overall it was a decent place to stay at.
- Verified traveler (10/5): 2-night stay - An easy and straightforward check-in. The room was cool, silent, and easy to sleep in. Lockers had their own lock so no need to bring your own lock. Would go again if visiting in the area.
- Mauro (8/5): Posizione interessante - Ambiente pulito, stanza da 8 confortevole e con armadietto personale con lucchetto, tutte le necessità per far doccia e lavarsi le mani servite Colazione un po’ scarsa, ma comunque presente con succi arancia, cereali,salato e latte. Zona centrale ottima per raggiungere a piedi tantissimi punti d’interesse, dal Montjuic, a piazza di Spagna, la Rambla, il porto, è tutta la zona del parallel Reception 24/24 7/7 Ristorantini e pub a 3/4’ a piedi giusto la via prima dell’ostello Direi che per chi viaggia solo o comunque tra amici e un’ottima soluzione per soggiornare a Barcellona
- Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff is amazing. It is a clean place to stay. You have free coffe, tea, watter and apples available everyday. The room was cosy, except no windows (wel, it had a window but it was blocked by the hostel add outside of the building). The breakfast could be much better. Only cheese, ham, slices of bread, milk, coffe and cereals. Well, it does it job but you feel like something is missing, especially when you need to full you stomach before get out. But overall, it is a good place to stay one night. Clean, safe, good bath, and something to eat before you leave. Except for the price. I paid 68€ with no private bathroom. With less than that, Ive been in another big cities (like Madrid, Milan, or Lisbon) in much better condictions (private bathroom, much better breakfast, TV, double bed...). If we've paid less 30€, I'd give it 5 stars.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Great place with a helpfull and friendly staff! Would truely recommend this to others, although it is quite far to the beach but the public transport is just by the corner
- Lahouari (2/5): - Endormons chez vous j’ai garé ma voiture en face et on va tous cambrioler mes papiers cassé ma vitre et tout ce qui ensuit j’ai dû faire demi-tour chez moi je n’ai plus de vacances
- Verified traveler (10/5): - very good in condition. Including breakfast. Absolutely beyond imagination. Room is clean. Also offer towel. The only disadvantage shall be that the storage of baggage is in basement. Other things are fine.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly staff, a nice welcome and tea and coffee and fruit available all day. Free sangria Friday and Saturday nights was a lovely touch. Great location
- Lus (8/5): - No esta muy cerca del centro, la atencion del personal es buena.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Rude dirty bathrooms would not recommend them The room is co Ed
- Ana (8/5): Uma estadia curta mas muito agradável - Staff muito acessível, cama confortável e muito boa localização. O hotel tem o suficiente para dormir. A casa de banho poderia ser melhor. Pequeno-almoço simples mas bom! Decoração muito interessante.
- José (8/5): Me gustaría repetir - Una buena experiencia muy bien ubicado
- Julie (6/5): Décevant - Arrivés à 13h45, on nous annonce poliment qu’il faudra attendre car les arrivées sont prévues à 14h: nous avons pu disposer de la chambre vers 14h35 seulement, ça fait beaucoup d’attente... suite à cela on nous emmène dans « notre chambre » il s’agit d’un ancien appartement dans l’immeuble d’à côté, type années 70 mais dans son jus, composé de 2 chambres + coin cuisine + petites salle de bain commune et WC communs Résultat: nous avons partagé les lieux avec des jeunes gens qui avaient bus et ont passé une partie de la nuit à vomir, nous avons donc « profité » du bruit, de l’odeur et de la saleté La chambre en elle même est passable, le lit assez confortable mais le linge de lit n’est pas très propre et les coussins sont couverts de tâches Et enfin le petit déjeuner est juste honteux: 2 pains de mie et du jambon sous vide disposés sur une minuscule console dans le hall d’entrée ! Et si vous mangez et/ou buvez quelque chose vous devrez faire la vaisselle ! Nous n’avons rien contre le concept d’auberge de jeunesse à la bonne franquette, mais ce n’était pas ce style de séjour que nous voulions et nous aurions aimé savoir que cet établissement n’était pas réellement un hôtel; ainsi nous serions allés ailleurs Bref, nous n’avons apprécié que la situation de cet établissement, près du métro et du centre ville Sûrement un lieu adapté aux jeunes gens qui viennent faire la fête, mais certainement pas pour un séjour en amoureux !!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Thanks a-lot for all of you, very helpful staff and very kind
- Clément (8/5): Bon point de chute - Bien situé en terme de proximité aux différents centres d'intérêt de la ville, le quartier en lui même est cependant un peu mort. Très propre, bien équipé mais manque d'un espace de convivialité pour rencontrer les autres visiteurs. Dispose d'une bagagerie.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - I would give 6 out of 10 for everything. Not sure is that what they normally do or not.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Terriblemente malo. NO TIENEN ASCENSOR. Cuando llegamos con valijas nos dieron una habitacion en el tercer piso POR ESCALERA. Deberian avisar. La tarjeta magnetica dejo de funcionar dos horas antes del horario de checkout y por ende nos quedamos encerradas quince minutos en el hall. La habitacion era una caja de zapatos sin ventanas. La limpieza dejo muchisimo que desear. Muchisimo. Solo es un buen lugar si las expectativas son nulas.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Basic amenities are in place. Staff are super friendly & helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - 저렴한 가격이고 가격만큼만 기대하면 만족할 수 있습니다
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Pretty clean, GREAT staff, basic breakfast, cools common area, good for one night.
- Jian (10/5): good! kind! clean! - very good Service and very kind staff!!!! i love place. but wifi.... my room... not... so sad.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - En general estuvo bien, el aseo es bueno, las zonas comunes son buenas, la gente que te toca como compañeros de cuarto a veces no es muy amable, pero eso es suerte. En general lo recomiendo. Le doy un 8.0
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Personal muy atento. Las habitaciones dejan mucho que desear, mala relacion precio calidad.
- Francisco (2/5): - The mattress was so old, it has springs sticking out. It was the worst bed I ever slept on in my life. The people working there are so sweet and helpful, it was just the real old mattress that made my stay miserable.
- Leonardo (2/5): DESASTRE. Lean esto antes de reservar. - LEAN ESTO POR FAVOR ANTES DE RESERVAR : Al llegar tuvimos que subir 3 pisos por escalera con las valijas (no hay ascensor). Con mi esposa reservamos una habitación doble. Era muy muuuuy pequeña (apenas cabía la cama) y sin ventanas ni ventilación, había un extractor para que circule el aire. Literalmente una pocilga. Estuvimos 5 días (sólo porque ya estaba pago de antemano) y en ningún momento nos cambiaron las toallas, teníamos q dejarlas secando en una percha. El desayuno incluido es en el hall de entrada q solo cuenta con dos mesitas y 6 sillas y una barra con dos banquetas donde todos los huéspedes deben servirse y desayunar lo poco q sirven. Por lo q si te toca la barra vas a estar desayunando con gente parada alrededor intentando servirse el café cruzandose por encima tuyo. Luego de desayunar te tenes que lavar tus propios platos (algo q uno hace comúnmente pero q no espera hacerlo estando de vacaciones). Las paredes son muy finas asiq si te tocan vecinos molestos lo vas a padecer. El barrio a la noche no es muy grato, hay gente tirada en la calle borracha y lugares que ofrecen prostitutas y drogas. No recomiendo para nada este lugar si vas por descanso.
- Juliana (10/5): Sensacional! - Recepção incrível! Ótima localização!
- Iggy (10/5): Surrounded by coffee shops and tapas bar next door - I stayed in the dorm room with lots of bunk beds but fortunately I got single bed next to the window xD Nice decoration, I really love common room also the staffs are nice and helpful.
- Laura (8/5): - Ho soggiornato nella stanza privata con bagno privato, devo dire che come stanza non è il massimo, ma pulita e per fortuna che c'era l'aria condizionata perché anche se fine settembre molto caldo. Personale gentile e disponibile, si ha a disposizione per tutto il tempo del servizio cucina e la possibilità di mangiare mele e te/caffè offerte dalla struttura. Wi-fi funziona bene La posizione molto comoda per muoversi anche a piedi. Consiglio
- Guy louis (4/5): - Very noisy at night- very near major popular bars
- Robert (6/5): Good - Mediocre
- Dean (10/5): Nice Hostel. Friendly staff. - Great hostel. Really friendly staff The location is great. Met a life long friend Will 100% be returning on my next trip to Barcelona
- Jenny (10/5): Recommendation! - My experience was great. Very hospital and friendly staff. Breakfast was enough for the price. The shared areas were beautiful and there were lots of plants. Very cozy and good atmosphere.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Staff was very friendly. Good location. -breakfast ( underwhelming, old food, low quality food) -beds were terrible, not comfortable -showers with no hot water, no room To move.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Bueno - El personal es muy amable y atento, son lo mejor del lugar!! En general las condiciones del lugar es bueno. Tuve problemas para hacer el check in.
- sergio (8/5): - Nice staff and good facilities. Singles room is a bit noisy to sleep in due to air conditioning exhausts nearby. Probably not an issue in winter. All in all a good experience and would recommend it.
- Nil (8/5): Friendly and clean hostel. - Very nice, safe and friendly hostel. Good location close to the center. You will find a safe place with even cooler and helpfull staff.
- Thi Minh Xuan (10/5): Bargain - Good location, close to the metro and center, clean room and helpful staff. I booked a bed in a dorm room including 9 beds, but luckily there were only 2 or 3 people. Cheap price for the location and cleanness.
- Verified traveler (4/5): Noisy.. - The staff was polite and helpfull.The showers and wc was clean, but the hostel should consider to do something about old sheets and towels with holes and stains on... Our stay was unpleasant dew to the location of the double room we booked which was above the entrance and reception with a window shut with the hostels sign in front of it, therefor the room was always dark and noisy. The most unpleasant was the noise, all the time and especially in the night. Somehow smoke came in the room from outside, even though the windows where closed. Hope that the other rooms are better but I would not recommend to book this room if you want a quiet and smokefree room.
- Jeff (2/5): - Do not stay here. This place is not for a traveler who wants to meet other travelers. It’s not a social hostel at all. I was placed in a room with two permanent residents, one guy was living there with his 8 year old son. I didn’t expect to stay in a place like this. I would give it a better recommendation if it was much cheaper because it is definitely not worth the price. Just spend a little bit more and get a better hostel. Research more before committing.
- Isabella (10/5): Air Conditioning! - The hostal was nice and comfortable, but the one thing that really made it stand out was the fact that there was air conditioning in our room. It was a life saver!
- Faith (10/5): Nice hotel. Great location. - We thoroughly ennoyed staying at Mambo Tango. The staff is truly outstanding! Our room was interesting- no windows, but good AC. We were never there so it didn't matter. Breakfast was a bit skimpy- just enough to get us going- which was fine. In all we absolutely loved our stay- would return- and highly recommend it!
- Matt (2/5): Tiny room, no window, dusty air con - Unbelievably small room with no windows. An abolsute rip-off for the price. Constant noise from pipes in kitchen meant we had no sleep. Air con was dirty and dusty. Awful. Staff were friendly and nice and arrival but left ASAP in the am
- Verified traveler (8/5): -
- Verified traveler (4/5): Everything - The stay was clean, the staff was perfect, and the location was Great, the balcony was cool...However the bed was not comfortable...the guests next door, who were different all 4 nights played music, games or videos all night with no insulation you can hear...everything... I mean everything! Maybe a good place for people in their 20’s.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Fine
- Meagan (6/5): Mambo Tango - Front desk was nice. Layout was cool. Bed was very very uncomfortable. Stayed in a double room.
- Jennie (10/5): - Great location in Barcelona. Very clean rooms and bathrooms.
- Praveen (8/5): Awesome stay at MamboTango - This place is a little gem. It’s fantastic location wise and is close to a lot of places to eat drink and do all the touristy stuff. The hostel itself was very good, clean and friendly. What I most liked about MamboTango were it’s staff. Especially Natalia and Fiorella who were just wonderful. They guided me to all the best places to visit, various bars and food places to go. They were always happy to help and made their guests welcome with a smile. Couldn’t fault them at anything and they were incredible. Would I recommend? Definately! 😀
- Stanislaw (8/5): - I recomend this hostel for people who don’t have a lot money in holiday, place is clean but for me problem is with beds, because I’m tall. Breakfast is included, coffee and tea all day, this is good option. Location is very good, near port and Magic Fountain, Montjuïc.
- Tanya (2/5): A square box of emotion - Our room was a tiny square with no windows, a ventillator that kept flapping and an airfresherner that continuously went off throughout the night. Our room was barely big enough for the double bed. There was no window whatsoever. It was awful. The mattress looked like somethig from a prison cell. We had one thin pillow each - which was a joke. The duvet was gross. All we could hear was our neighbours having loud sex. Disgusting. But luckily we only had to stay one night.
- Verified traveler (8/5): great place, a bit small - great place would recommend, just be prepared for not so great wifi and place is a little small, other then that its 5 star hostel.
- Krissy (8/5): Central location - Again wanted to say thanks to the he staff at Mambo Tango. Very professional, very helpful and caring.
- Krissy (8/5): Very central. Closed to a lot of places of interes - Everyone was welcoming and helpful. The Venezuelan receptionist was very kind and helpful. Breakfast was decent. Good price.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice for the price, breakfast was good, and the staff were friendly
- David (10/5): Cosy Intimate Hostel in Poble Sec - This is a very cozy and intimate hostal with very friendly and helpful staff. The tightness of the space contributes to folks talking more. The kitchen is fine, if a bit tight for more than one. The basement living dining room is very chill and has a couple computers for use. Breakfast is the standard free super basic fare, as to be expected perhaps. Had a great time!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Bleak hostel with low prices, kind staff - Hostel is in convenient location and staff are kind. Prices are very low especially for non weekend stays. However, I would not stay here again because the hostel was bleak- bad breakfast and guests who seemed to be living there long term to avoid homelessness. My partner had a row of bites on his torso after staying here (either bedbugs or spider). I would pay a little extra to stay in a hotel (budget business hotels are only a bit more expensive, and you have lots of choices if you are willing to stay a bit further from the sites- given the cheap and high quality public transit I would recommend doing that instead).
- Verified traveler (8/5): Great hostel - I especially love the free fruits and breakfast buffet provided. The staff are friendly and there are enough bathrooms with good cleanliness. They also dont charge the storage of backpacks after checkout. Near the metro station. Is a great hostel exceeds my expectation.
- Christian (10/5): Stay - Best staff, fransesco! In reception very good man!
- Eduardo (4/5): Booo - I like the area customer service is great at arrival but then it goes south, key card not working having to walk 4 flights a couple of times not fun. Hot water not working at least when I took showers and final they say wi-fi available not the case good at first and then o it for the rest of my stay.
- John (8/5): Very good hostel close to the action - The best way of summing up our experience of Mambo Tango is to say that for our return to Barcelona in a few weeks time, we have booked in there again. Neat hostel.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good value. Excellent staff
- Alexander (8/5): - Location is great, and it's a very well-kept hostel. The only negative I have is that it didn't really have as much of a communal, together feel like I have had at other hostels.
- Alireza (10/5): nice cozy hostel - very pleasant
- Linda (6/5): Average Stay at Mambo Tango - This hostel located near Paral-lel metro station. We stayed one night at triple room. The room was cramped with 2 single bed and 1 extra bed, almost no space to open our luggage. Shower and toilet outside bedroom and shared with other guests. Bedroom, shower and toilet were clean. Free breakfast consists of bread, cereal, jam, butter, and sliced cheese available every morning. Receptionist was fluent in English and helped us with direction to go to attraction around Barcelona.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not great for solo travel - The stay tab Mambo Tango was not bad but it is not a social hostel. The public areas are small and it's quiet so you don't get many chances to meet others in the hostel. Great location to the Metro Parralel stop which connects to every line you need. It's also right beside a popular tapas and sangria street. As a solo traveler I wouldn't recommend.
- Patrick (8/5): Basic but adequate. - It was basic but adequate for someone not interested in much beyond a comfortable bed and good washing facilities.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hostel - I was really impressed by this little hostel. We had booked a private room and it was exactly that, set at the back off of a courtyard. The shower and loo may not be to your liking if you don't know your friends well but the room had everything that we needed, including a kettle and was clean. Contrary to other reviews, we had no problems whatsoever with noise - it was a weekend too. We didn't have breakfast but it looked adequate enough. The downstairs common area looked welcoming but we were out so didn't use it. Location was superb for where we wanted to be.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - It's a nice, little hotel. The rooms are clean but very simple, the location it's good, it has some restaurants and bike rentals near
- Parker (4/5): Good location but poor hostel - I was very disappointed by this hostel. The free breakfast was lousy, the wifi was terrible, and they didn't even run the "free bar tour", which was promoted in the lobby.
