This place was so modern and clean. We were very impressed We had never had a shared bathroom before but there were 3 on the floor and we never had issues having one available. They were also cleaned regularly. We would definitely stay here again.

It’s a shame you cannot bring guests back, this was the only down fall to the hostel. If you want a safe area which is quite central this is the place to be. Shared toilets feel like your own.

This hostel has great value for the price. The staff were very helpful, the room and shared bathroom were clean, and the location was very convenient (close to the train and walking distance to the Gothic quarter). I would recommend brining ear plugs or noise canceling headphones for sleeping as it was quite loud on the street, especially if you’re staying during the weekend.

A great home base
Easy to find from the Parallel metro stop. We were greeted by the kindest hostess – such a treat after a very long journey! The design is cozy, the bed is comfortable, and the small terrace is charming! It's the perfect home base as it's close to Blais Street and Montjuic, and it's relatively close to the Gothic Quarter, Barceloneta, and the Sagrada.

This is a nice hidden hostal that is close to some major attractions. Jack from the front desk was very welcoming and friendly on my arrival . The room was very clean and so was the shared bathroom, although it would have been nice to have a few more shared bathrooms available. Overall, would recommend this place for the price and cleanliness.

Good hostel
The staff was great, hostel was clean, etc. Only issue was that it is located next to a large club that blasts music until late a night 3-4 days per week, which can make sleeping very difficult.

A great option
This was our first trip to Europe, so we had no idea what to expect. We were warmly greeted upon our arrival by the front desk staff, and she also gave us some excellent restaurant recommendations. Our cozy room with a balcony was spotless. The private bathroom was small, but it served us fine. Our two twin beds were okay, but weren't as comfortable as other places I've stayed; that being said, I've also slept on much worse-I'd chalk that up to personal preference. We appreciated the security measures in place - that we needed to use our key card to get in the building, then again to get to the actual hostel, and a third time to get to our room. We felt completely safe here and in the neighborhood. The property is 2-3 blocks from the Metro, and is close to many markets, restaurants, a laundromat, and is amid a bustling neighborhood. This property is a short Metro ride away to many of the big sights of Barcelona. If you are looking for an affordable place to be your home base in Barcelona, this would be a great option.
