Guest Reviews

• P olivier (2/5): A éviter sauf cas de force majeure - Je déconseille sauf si très petit budget et encore...
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Todo en general tanto como personal y el trato recibido
• Jacqueline (2/5): Falta de amabilidad! - Realmente me parecio un lugar donde el personal en general es muy poco amable. No me senti comida, ya que las personas de ahi son bastante mal educadas.
• sabrina (2/5): Don't go there / fuyeeez - Ils m'ont prélèvé 3 nuit alors que j'en ai réservé que 2 une arnaque fuyez We reserved 2 night and they took 3 night!
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Llamé varias veces desde las 14 a la 00 y no me respondieron, así k no me pude alojar
• Verified traveler (2/5): Pesimo - Muy mala experiencia, no te atienden en recepción. Al llegar tienes que pagar muchos gastos ocultos epezando por las sábanas -2€ por noche- o duermes sin ropa de cama, si tienes que dejar el equipaje cobran 5€ por dejarlo tirado en una equina sin protección ninguna, wifi no... taquillas muy muy pequeñas, donde cabe un bolso. Lo que es desayuno es una tasa de cafe. Atención y experiencia pésimas.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Hotel trop juste Pas de petit dej Pas de télé Pas de serviette ni savon
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Una decepcionante estancia!! Te ofrecen por la página desayuno buffet, pero es solo café y jugo libre, los baños hediondos a pichi! No se recomienda para nada!! Me di cuenta que es mejor pagar algo de un poco más valor, pero de calidad!!
• Michelle (4/5): - The hostel is located in a scary and unsafe neighborhood The WiFi barely works The kitchen only have a microwave so basically useless
• Shanne (6/5): Deberian mejorar - No me gusto la experiencia, no me volveria a hospedar ahí, tome una habitacion privada y me pidieron hacer el check in a las 8:30 Y NO A LAS 10COMO DECIA LA PAGINA, te cobran deposito de 5 euros por la llave, tienes que pagar 2euros por cada toalla pues no las incluye, el area no me gusto, ni el ambiente, la ubicacion su esta muy buena y la cama comoda, pero la habitacion no es bonita, estaba demasiado caro para el servicio que ofrecen, en la pagina se ofrece desayuno bufet y solo te dan un pan y cafe o chocolate. Barcelona es una ciudad muy cara pero deberian brindar brindar un mejor servicio para lo que cobran por eso solamente me hospede una noche la cual pues se pasa en cualquier lado.
• Verified traveler (6/5): No es la gran cosa - Si es solo para dormir, va bien.
• Rocío (4/5): - Limpieza mediocre, atención del personal muy básica. Ofrecen desayuno Buffet y resultó ser café de máquina y croissants industriales del supermercado de al lado... nada más, el Buffet desayuno... Yo no volvería...
• Ivan (2/5): Pésimo!!! - La cocina es lo peor tiene un olor espantaso. En algunas ocuaciones los cuartos igual. No sirven lámparas. El trato el malo. El baño sucio no concuerda las fotos con la actualidad. Todas las paredes tienen moho. Y créame que por ese precio eh estado en mejores hostales. Lo único bueno es su ubciacion a 4 min del metro y de ahí para cualquier lado. Incluso caminando llegas a muchos lugares.
• RJ (2/5): - This hostel was absolutely the worst place. Avoid at all cost. You actually do not save money. Their hidden fees will cost you more than some hotels in Barcelona. Staff are disinterested in helping their customers.
• Laura (6/5): Séjour Barcelone - Lits qui grincent, toilettes parfois très sales, une douche pour 12, la porte de notre chambre était cassée donc ne fermait pas et il y a eu une nuit où les gérants se sont pris la tête et ont réveillé tout le monde. Mis à part ça, bon séjour passé entre amies, on a quand même bien dormi et l’auberge est bien située.
• Roger (2/5): - The hostel is not clean. I am not satisfied with the service provided by the staff.
• Stephen (10/5): The best B and B. - With my family and solo, I have stayed in several bed and breakfasts in the U.K. The Bay Horse is the best of them all for several reasons: beautifully renovated old coaching inn, quiet and clean rooms, outstanding breakfasts, fabulous little touches like fresh fruit in the room as well as a delicious chocolate laid out on the bed upon arrival, scenic location, and of course warm hospitality.
• Melina (10/5): - para lo que pague más que bien, el baño siempre limpio a pesar de las compañera de cuarto, la atención no diría que maravillosa aunque de mucho de lo trabajadores si, ambiente tranquilo es decir la zona no es hooo pero para dormir super tranquila.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Good Hostel - Everything is perfect
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Pésimo servicio
• Verified traveler (2/5): - The property should not be considered as a hotel or anything like that including a hostel
• Svetlana (10/5): - Отель не дорогой. Хорошее соотношение цены и качества. Ребята молодцы. Есть девушка на рецепшене она говорит по русски и многое объяснила и помогла. Хотя весь персонал в целом молодцы, так же помагали несмотря на языковой барьер. Добираться удобно, рядом метро и автобусная остановка
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Unfriendly staff to the point of rudeness who overcharged despite having a reservation and then added some extra hidden fees. The place stunk was was so poorly lit you could mistake it for a drug den. Avoid.
• Verified traveler (4/5): - 아침밥은 준다고 했는데 빵 한종류 뿐이고 그나마도 시간도 들쑥날쑥, 한번은 아예 없다고 함. 수건도 사이트엔 제공된다고 했으나 유료임. 로비 등 공동공간에서 냄새가 남. 그나마 2인실을 썼고 뒤쪽 정원으로 통하는 큰 문이 있어서 방에선 냄새 안났네요. 숙박 사이트의 내용과 다른점이 많아요. 청소도 매일 안해주고 시트도 한번 주고 안갈아줌. 담요가 얇아서 추워서 옷입고 잤고요. 전기가 주기적으로 꺼져서 샤워하다가도 암흑이 되는데 불켜는 곳 사이에 옷핀 꽂아 고정하니 괜찮았어요. 짐도 체크아웃 후 2시간만 무료로 맡아주고 이후엔 유료에요. 직원들은 모르겠는데 주인아저씨가 엄청 무뚝뚝하고 불친절해요.
• Verified traveler (2/5): Worst Hostel We've Ever Been To - This Hostel was a nightmare. When we arrived at 9 pm they did not have the room ready. We had to pay extra for the linen and the guy at the reception wasn't very friendly. When we were let into the room it was a really weird room: there was no real bed, it was just an arrangement of seats put together (look at the pictures). The trashcan wasn't emptied, there was a weird headboard half on the wall, half of the wall. The bathroom was not clean, there was hair everywhere. The sheets were not clean. The view from the window was a wall, so NO daylight or fresh air came into the room. Also the light turned off every few minutes automatically so if you were laying in bed you had to get up every few minutes to turn the lights back on, very annoying. The walls in the hostel are very thin and right next to the window was one of the neighbour room, so you could hear literally EVERYTHING all night long. Couldn't sleep a minute. There was a breakfast inclusive, well, they put a small container with croissants from the supermarket on the counter. The first day we were fast enough, so we got one each, after us there were no left. On the second day we weren't fast enough, so there was no breakfast for us. There are machines for juice and for breakfast they are supposed to be free, but the machine didn't work. And I wouldn't touch the coffee-machine, it looked disgusting. Also, the "living" area is a hallway with sofas on the sides. It always smells weird.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Zero assoluto.................................................
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Falta de ventilacion, no tiene para cocinar solo microondas, falta de higiene en las habitaciones y en los baños y faltan normas de convivencia lo bueno es la ubicacion
• Verified traveler (2/5): - Ho preso una camera singola com bagno privato. Nell’ Ostello c’è un forte odore di piedi e sudore. La camera ha una finestra che da su un cunicolo dal quale entrano rumori durante la notte. Il letto non è un letto bensi due divanetti in pelle uniti che non sono neanche coperti da un copri materasso ma ci appoggiano sopra un lenzuolo che non copre interamente il letto se cosi si puo definire. Il bagno è abbastanza pulito qualche capello di clienti precedenti.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Not worth it - Didn’t expect a very comfortable stay but it was very uncomfortable with the loght in the room switching off automatically every 10 minutes, the toilet’s light and the shower also off by itself. Bed sheet was not provided. You have to pay for it. No heater. If I know this is the condition of the room, would rather pay more for a better comfort. I have stayed in a cheap hostel before but this is the worst so far
• Verified traveler (2/5): El peor sitio donde he estado con diferencia - Un total despropósito, no sé ni cómo hoteles.com es capaz de ofrecer un lugar así, empezando por el trato descortés de los empleados jugando a ser unos trileros queriendo cobrar un precio distinto al contratado por la app al añadir tasas inventadas y convirtiendo el pago en una negociación de como intentar sacar el máximo posible, teniendo que pagar de más , poniéndolo en conocimiento de hoteles.com y no me dieron una solución, todo el "recinto" con un olor a tabaco propio de una tasca en 1980, si ya el lugar parece poco limpio, la habitación directamente es insalubre, da asco tener que dormir ahí, la colchoneta que hace de cama totalmente manchada de flujos de a saber que , el techo roto con tuberías expuestas, paredes rotas y pintadas como si fueran un baño público, moho en las paredes, camas sin hacer y solo te dan un juego de sabanas de dudosa limpieza y una manta que ni se sabe cuándo fue la última vez que se lavó, habitación helada , no dispone de toallas, La Luz de la habitación es temporizado por lo que es imposible mantenerla encendida, y la del baño igual, pero con un sensor de movimiento que hacía imposible que estuviera apagada imposibilitando dormir en toda la noche, un total despropósito.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - No es un hotel...! Es un albergue de mochileros o sin techo. Salí asustada y corriendo y busqué un hotel, de verdad. Tampoco es tan barato, por 12€ mas me alojé en un confortable hotel.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Cheap price and quality - Location is good, close to metro and bus, but hostel itself is pretty lacking, management is unfriendly and greedy. Free breakfast = coffee, they put out 1 box of pastery and it's gone with half hour then nothing else. Bathroom condition is great though, beds are kinda of close to one another as expected.
• Verified traveler (6/5): One of the cheapest, don't expect too much - This is an acceptable place, but that's really about it, beds are close to each other, they charges you 2 euros for bed sheets, room is cold and you have to ask for thick sheets, sometimes breakfast is provided and sometimes not, when it's served it's first come first serve, wake up too late it's all gone. But common room is big which is good for socializing, kitchen is ok size with 3 frigs, BUT no stoves, microwave and oven only.
• Lucie (2/5): - Les douches étaient bouches, le ménage pas fait, et en plus le réceptionniste se permet d'entrer dans la chambre sans frapper. À EVITER !
• Verified traveler (10/5): - great experience. cheap affordable. nice staff. you will need to bring you're own towels.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Günstiges Hotel in zentraler Lage - Das Hotel ist sehr preiswert und ist dementsprechend kein Luxushotel. Stellt man sich jedoch ein bisschen darauf ein und möchte es hauptsächlich zum schlafen kann ich es sehr weiterempfehlen. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und nach dem ersten Tag haben wir ein kostenloses Upgrade erhalten.
• Pei (10/5): - Arrived at hostel early in the morning. I was tired and exhausted. Staff was so kind to allow me check in early at 10am. And even after checked out, I was allowed to take a shower as I would catch my bus at late night. Price is pretty cheap with coffee and juice provided. The bad thing was that the room was not spacious for twelve people. Just staying for few nights is okay.
• Verified traveler (8/5): God deal - Jeg trengte bare en overnatting da jeg var på gjennomreise og dette var helt greit. Et nytt område for mitt vedkommende men for turister som gjerne tar buss og bane så er alt veldig sentralt. Ca 15 min å gå til la rambla. Selve hostelet er ok, jeg delte 6mannsrommet med bare to stk så det var veldig rolig og ikke noe ventetid på badet man deler. Gratis hengelås til låns, skapet er ikke stort nok til en liten trillekoffert engang men man kan låse inn annet av verdi. Leietaker av sengesett kr 2€, håndkle 2€ og 10€ depositum for nøkkel. Den gratiser frokostenkte består av cornflakes, kaffemaskin og jus. Gratis wifi over alt. Praktisk kjøkken (brukte ikke) og vennlig personale. Veldig rimelig midt i høysesongen. Stille og rolig, noe man ikke alltid kan si om andre hostel i Barcelona da det er en festby -
• José Pedro (2/5): Avoid weekends - Llegado el fin de semana la situación se volvió caótica decidí hacer el check out y me dijeron que no podía permanecer en el loby y me expulsaron groseramente, la higiene empeoró y el supuesto desayuno inexistente
• José Pedro (8/5): Ok - Aceptable por el precio, buena ubicación pero cuesta arriba (fatigante)
• José Pedro (8/5): Fair for the price - Esta bien por el precio, la hubicacion no es muy buena sobretodo por que la calle es cuesta arriba
• Emma (6/5): - No se aprovechó la estancia, fue una lastima!
• Duc (6/5): Looking for other not this one. - No air-conditioning room to narrow. Most midle-east. Not friendly.
• Francis (6/5): NORMAL - It was good, but they need to clean better, and indeed they need customer service.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - Not really a nice hostel. Lights in rooms swich off every five minutes, windows don't really open and lockers are pretty small. Showers also aren't good, they swich off every 20 seconds, and no-one showers in 20 seconds. Kitchen only has microwave and an oven that doesn't seem to ever get cleaned. The common area isn't really great either, always horrible music playing. Only good thing is that you get free coffee/juice I guess.
• Verified traveler (4/5): yikes. needs cleaning crew - location ok bad smells needs cleaning and better attention to facility staff was ok
• Verified traveler (4/5): - Booked this hostel last min. Too expensive per night for what you get. I was between this hostel and another one and the only reason I picked this one was because it said breakfast included. There is no breakfast, be aware that they only give coffee and juice... nothing else. The location - closest metro is about a 5min walk. Not close to any of the major sights. You can walk to La Rambla, its about a 15-20min walk. You have to pay 2 euro for bed sheets and 2 euro for towel per night, non refundable. During my stay, I had a problem which is not the hostels fault but the night guy could have handled better (dont know his name)... the guy on the top bed brought in a girl, I was not able to sleep due to the noise and of course the bunk bed shaking, went to reception asked the guy to change my bed. He went in, came out and just told me to wait 5min till they were done!! Hello, Im a paying customer, you do not tell that to your customer. The morning reception guy is nice, he was willing to change my room the next day. I would not stay at this hostel again. Too expensive for what it is, you can find better and closer to main attractions.
• ISABEL (2/5): SUJEIRA E FALTA DE CUIDADO - ESTIVE HOSPEDADA POR 3 DIAS NESTE HOSTEL, E A ÚNICA COISA BOA FOI A CAMA, QUE ERA AO LADO DA JANELA....NO MAIS, ESTE LOCAL PECA PELA FALTA DE HIGIENE, PELA FALTA DE CUIDADO E PELO AMBIENTE CAÓTICO QUE SE ENCONTRA, COM MÓVEIS ACABADOS E SUJOS, COZINHA IMUNDA E SEM UTENSÍLIOS E EQUIPE DESPREPARADA PARA ATENDER AOS HOSPEDES.
• Verified traveler (6/5): 立地がいい ホテル - メトロ駅から徒歩数分で ベッドはきれい。共有スペースも まぁまぁ きれい。また 泊まってもいいかなと 思いました。
