Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in. Everybody in the staff made sure the stay was pleasant. We stayed in a private. The room was clean, no smells, we had AC, we had a balcony. My impression was that the staff made sure all guests respeced each other and the simple and decent rules they have. The pool was clean and it looks safe.

The hostel is very clean and well kept. Staff cleans several times a day and is very good with housekeeping. Each bed has socket, light, curtain and a personal drawer for storage with a padlock. The staff is really nice and helpful. The garden is pretty and the free breakfast is good enough. Great location, easy to walk everywhere. Possibility to safely leave luggage before check-in and after check-out. Would definitely recommend it!

Great hostel, rooms were clean and modern. Beds were very comfortable. Lockers under the bunk beds. Friendly reception staff and great facilities available. Great location too, within walking distance to the shops, bus stops, metro and restaurants. Supermarkets right across the road too.

I am frequent traveller, never stayed at any such place like bunk bed or dormitory, not even a thought, tried it out of an emergency taking away pleasant experience. The location is just around the corner, prime spot with nearby plenty of restaurants, safe spot for travellers from outside Barcelona. Room and bathroom are clean. plus point pantry, I carried take away and enjoyed eating at hostel instead of waiting for empty seat at restaurant. Good wifi network. most important peace, no noise and I could work without disturbance.

Its a great place to go solo travelling. You get to meet a ton of new people really easily. The staff is super friendly. The hostel also organizes a ton of free activity. Very good location. Clean. As a woman solo traveler, i felt very safe, even in the mixed dormitory, which still feels very private and secure. Highly recommend!

Great location, great ambiance, clean and nice staff. Iconic places are just walking distance. They have cheaper meal options than a regular bar/cafeteria (very basic, though). This was my first hostel experience, and I felt safe.

Friendly hostel in a great location. We had a double bunk bed room. Bunks were very comfortable and didn’t move. Spacious room with lockers, table & chairs, openable window. Large clean bathrooms with good lighting throughout. We felt welcome, safe and secure. Recommend!
