AC wouldn't work in the room, when I went down to enquire was told is ok even though I got the receptionist up the room to check himself. Lights would trip frequently - not very helpful when you have kids along. Asked for an iron was told that's it's stolen and don't have one!! Housekeeping were helpful though although language was a barrier

I rented a Superior Single room for one night. Walked from Parc Nou station, easy to find. The property has the feel of a university dorm. Clean, safe, dinner and breakfast options were simple, affordable and tasty. I would stay here again.

I got a single room at this hostel. It was large, the bathroom was clean, and the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was good, including croissants, sandwich meat, fruit, yogurt, and coffee. It is about a 10 minute walk from the Metro, but it is really hard to push a wheeled suitcase, as the sidewalks have small square patterns embedded in them. This is a problem in many Barcelona neighbourhoods, and is not a reflection of the hostel (just a warning about the walk there). The hostel uses recycled water in the toilets and showers, but the tap water is potable.

Would stay again

Although this is a hostel type accommodation, we found it brilliant. Staff were great and very helpful. Room had 4 single bunk beds in it and bathroom was very spacious. Breakfast was self service plentiful. Places to eat within a short(ish) walk. Was about 6 miles outside Barcelona and one of the routes to the hotel was blocked by roadworks which caused us satnav issues but that wasn't the hotels fault. Only dislike was the state of the free car park. It was covered in sand with big ruts in it. We had torrential rain during the night and came down to our bikes covered in sand where the rain had bounced off the ground. On balance we would still stay there again.

The positives: the room was clean. Front desk check in staff were kind. The agency initiative to support vulnerable children & youth is very nice. The negatives: Very inconvenient to get too from the airport. Added about an hour + train ticket costs per person. The building entrance is also hard to find. There was no soap in the washroom to wash hands.

This place will work for a one-night stay before a morning airport flight, but it’s no frills. Also if you book a single, you’re likely to get put in a quad with bunks…just for you. Also, some reviews said that there was no air conditioning, but there is. You can’t control it, but it was a pleasant surprise in the summer. Breakfast is bare bones.

Poor Air Conditioner or No Air Conditioner at all.

Air conditioning is set to 23 Celsius and cannot be lowered, it’s hard to tell if the AC fan speed works or not. Upon arrival my room felt like a sauna even though it is set to 23c, I complained to the front desk and was told if there’s no one in the room, the AC is set to be off, therefore, it takes hours to get the temp to a pleasant level. The temp inside the room was hotter than the temp outside of the building and yards, I was told by the front desk staff that they believed that the room feels like a sauna. If management is aware of this, I do not understand how they would not fix the settings so the temp and fan of the AC unit can be adjusted accordingly to the guests taste.
