Bring your own toiletries. Don't expect a lot (it's really cheap so, go figure). Location wise, it was well located as I have to catch the train at Chamartin.

You get what you pay for. Shared rooms with smell and noise. Long bathroom lines in bad conditions (poor water pressure, dirtiness…). Good thing was lockers and store rooms for luggage.

Dirty Bathroom, jammed up over crowded rooms. Lockers busted can’t get assistance from staff. The hostile was more for homeless and drug addicts. I ended up leaving and staying at a hotel up the street. And when you did find a staff member, they acted like you were bothering them. It was terrible. I managed to get out safely. Everything was fine after that.
