It is situated in a continent place, easy access to everything, the metro station is just around the end of the alley,and the staff are friendly, showed me the way to get around to the bus stop.

There is no elevator and our room is on the 4th floor. If you’re travelling with heavy luggage then this property is not for you.

Hostal River has a great location in the city, very friendly staff and it was a great time off in Barcelona. The room was very basic but you had all the necessities there. The room was cleaned every day and we had no problems.

2/10 Poor

Rude and not accommodating

The accommodations we not what we expected and had to find a new place to stay. The advertisement online to book did not state “all steps” “no elevator” no air conditioning” I would like a REFUND and asked the owner he refused and now I will have my cc company handle this.
Joe, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

If you are a woman this is hostel is a NO. There are safety issues with the bathrooms you can be seen from several places while taking a shower and peeing. They have a broken window they refuse to fix. I had to upload a video of the whole thing. The attedant is nice and tried to fix the window but the blonde supervisor actually dismissed my concern stating no one lives in the other floors when i actually saw them and there's laundry in their balconies. Also getting up there with bags is hard they don't have anyone to help you. The doors don't lock properly very weird locks they have. I had to shower in upstairs in a very small shower i almost fell. Everything seems very clean but run down. Not sure why they don't make these repairs. It would save you these bad reviews. I left at dawn i didn't feel safe at all.

Uma acomodação fraca, cama ruim, travesseiros ruins, quarto muito pequeno, mesmo o que possui banheiro. Mas a localização é muito boa.

Très bon rapport qualité prix. Seul bémol le bruit de la rue.
Gilles, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Super-zentral, preiswert, (hatte Zimmer mit eigenem Bad, aber da stand das Wasser auf dem Fußboden), Fenster zu kleinem Lichtschacht, keine Klimaanlage (war im Oktober ok, im Sommer sicher NO-GO)

Hostel River

A localizacao e excelente, mas a nota um pouco baixa foi devido a acessibilidade, muitas escadas, o piso esta soltando no quarto, sem tv ou frigobar, e a banheira tinha varios pontos de ferrugem que me deixavam aflita de sair ou entrar, mas os funcionario eram muito simpaticos, e os quartos com varanda da um certa ventilação no quarto.
SAMARA G, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great value in a fantastic location.

This is a family run gem right in the heart of the city. It will not be beaten on price and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Close to major attractions and shopping we found our stay there very pleasant.
Francis, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Correct pour une nuit

Accueil tres sympatiqye d'une dame qui parlait un peu l'anglais et à fait l'effort d’essayer de me comprendre. Early check-in ok, a conserver mes bagages jusqu'à que je revienne vers 15h. A mon retour, elle n'était pas là, le monsieur qui m'a reçu navait pas l'air au courant de mon arrivée, bagages ...il n'a pas fait l'effort d'essayer de comprendre, c'est donc moi qui lui ai montré le registre, le petit mot laissé au concierge pour quil m'appelle un taxi pour 5h du matin. Sinon. Chambre pour une nuit, convenable, minimaliste, mais pour le prix à Barcelone, je ne vais pas chipoter. Toilette commune propre. Salle de bain commune, un peu moins. Il faisait tres chaud, pas de clim mais un ventilo qui a fait le job.

Wouldn’t return

Had a weird smell from walking in the door, very run down and no air con (not ideal in summer). The street it is on smelt like urine.
Ella, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Supervarmt i rummet!! Fanns bara fläkt ingen AC. Sen fanns det bara två uttag i rummet så om man ville ha fläkten igång hade man bara ett uttag för att ladda mobilen etc. Rummet var helt ok rent men det gick inte att sova pga värmen och ljudet av byggnation utanför hotellet

They never contacted us. Didn’t even end up staying there because didn’t know if our room was even still available or could get a late check in. No communication.

El alojamiento es muy limpio y está muy bien ubicado pero no tiene aire acondicionado y eso lo sufrí mucho porque nos tocó noches de más de 30 grados
