This is by far the BEST HOSTAL in Barcelona, I would highly recommend having had an amazing stay here. Staff were very friendly and polite and really took good care of us. Rooms are clean with great showers, plenty storage space in locker & excellent Wifi. Location is great, near various bars/cafes/restaurants and mix of people staying was fantastic - met pple from Europe, Canada, America and Brazil. Great pool and chill out lounge area in basement with DJ and bar games in the evenings with guests meeting up and eating together. The hostal arranges social nights out every night to bars/clubs with free entry (not many hostals offer this), I met some great pple from around the world and had an awesome time socialising and dancing the night away. I would highly advise any solo traveller or group of friends to stay here, guaranteed to get some company and make some memories. Ask for 2nd floor for the bigger rooms if poss.
