Great place to stay excellent location incredible staff and fresh coffee and breakfast every morning from the hotel. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for a good experience at a good price and are willing to enjoy the city and accommodation within your budget. Easy check in and out staff were attentive and friendly in both Spanish and English, rooms were clean and bathrooms were too.

I gave this hostel five stars because - for what it is it’s absolutely phenomenal. I am a world traveling business person used to typical/traditional hotel accommodations. But I wanted to try this environment. It’s incredibly welcoming, the staff could not possibly be more hospitable, helpful, and polite. Basically it’s a room as it’s depicted. A single bed in a shared room with a curtain and a little light and electrical outlet within the Private bedspace. If you want an adventure and you’re open-minded, this would be great. If you’re young or economical in your travel agenda this is really worth a try. They have a great set up there. The location cannot be beat. It’s half a block from the famous Rambla.

Good morning first I would like to say that your staff at the counter your concierge. He was very helpful. I’m sorry I forgotten his name very pleasant than I would like to also give a shout out to Rebecca who worked in the evening. She also was extremely helpful very pleasant to work with as well. Our stay was nice. The only thing I can say is we did not realize that there was no bathrooms in the bedroom area that was a shock to air system, but we got over it. Thank you once again.

Good spot, nice location, breakfast is bread, carb city… interesting vibe. Very clean. Spoiler alert: Random employee came into my private room at 10:45pm while I was sleeping and acted confused while trying to check another guest into it. No knock, I was naked and scared awake.
