Bear in mind that anything I say has to be tempered with the fact I don't usually book hostels, so this, given Barcelona's prices, was unusual. In other words, Barcelona is jammed with tourists, prices for everything, including rooms, are high, and this was my way of keeping expenses under control, part of a lengthier trip. The price, which included a superb buffet breakfast, with endless coffee, fresh fruit and pastries, cold cuts, and cereals, was right, In terms of amenities, the hostel is well equipped, the dorm room was clean, bright and roomy, with a shared bathroom for 6, and each bed had its own lockable storage space, reading light, and charging port. There's a a superb terrace out back, where often I'd chill later in the afternoon. I appreciated the easy to use and reasonably priced washing machine/dryer. Housekeeping and staff were fine, though I had minimal interaction with either. Dorms of course are memorable for the people you meet, and I'll certainly remember the handful of people I got to know during my five days there.
