Nothing bad to say. This is one of the cleanest, well looked after prosperities I have stayed at.
The staff and facilities are great and although we had a shared bathroom, it still felt like our own given how clean and spacious it was.

I had a single room and even though it was small it was very clean and modern, a very comfortable stay. The location is unbeatable, it's right where Liceu station is and is amongst a lot of attractions and good eats, very walkable and well connected. Staff were courteous and were around 24/7. Please note this doesn't have a kitchen area or a laundry service (if that's important to you), but there are a few laundromats nearby that were reasonably priced. It's not a hostel to meet new people...

Beautiful old hotel, with a very comfy bed and good bathroom facilities. Located in the Gothic Quarter of the city, very close to La Rambla, with lots of dining options nearby and close to bus and metro transport for other tourist attractions.

A small hotel with an excellent location halfway up La Rambla opposite the Miro mosaic. Front rooms were a little noisy despite the double glazing, but that's what you must expect if you choose a hotel on La Rambla where the festivities are still in full swing at 4am! Fortunately we had a quiet room at the back of the hotel. Staff were excellent with their help and suggestions. The hotel has an excellent breakfast room that overlooks La Rambla.

Staff were so lovely and helpful. 24/7 reception was a bonus. Rooms were clean and spacious, making it hard to feel like you’re sharing it with 7 other people. Each bed has its own power and lights and the bunk set up gives you privacy when sleeping. The common areas were easy to access and clean. The hostel is a short walk to the beachfront with some many choices of food and dining. Transport was so accessible and there’s a bus stop almost right outside. Would absolutely stay here again.

I enjoyed my time at this hostal. Friendly and helpful reception, spotlessly clean room and bathroom, comfortable bed, no street noise and effective air conditioning. The location was great for exploring Barcelona - close to metro and bus stops.

Small but spotless, quiet (we had a courtyard room), and it had everything we needed. Great location (though we like to walk a lot), with a multitude of grocery stores nearby. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Great value - couldn’t fault it.
