It might not be for everyone, because it's not a hotel, but a hostel, so you need to know that you will share bathroom and other facilities (even if you have your own room, which I did). You will probably also need to climb stairs, so, if you have a problem with that, you need to alert them in advance. That said, you are getting what you paid for, so, if you're working on a tight budget, this is great. It's a short walk from the nearest Metro, there are several nice restaurants and take-aways in the area, it was mostly quiet (it's a hostel, remember), and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

It was a very convenient location. Super close to everything. Bars, restaurants, and a concert venue all in walking distance. The free coffee, and breakfast and water were super nice and for a hostel has a lot of showers and bathrooms. Even a terrace. Most of the staff were super helpful too.

My stay was good. But in my view they should improve the conditions of their rooms for example put light in every bed. I would say also they have to do something about their toilet and bathroom to reduce the noise because from the room where I was I could hear the noise when people took shower or used the toilets.

In the heart of Gothic Quarter. We had some wifi issues because we were in the room in the back and we kind of felt abandoned, but overall it was a decent place to stay at.

The staff is amazing. It is a clean place to stay. You have free coffe, tea, watter and apples available everyday. The room was cosy, except no windows (wel, it had a window but it was blocked by the hostel add outside of the building). The breakfast could be much better. Only cheese, ham, slices of bread, milk, coffe and cereals. Well, it does it job but you feel like something is missing, especially when you need to full you stomach before get out. But overall, it is a good place to stay one night. Clean, safe, good bath, and something to eat before you leave. Except for the price. I paid 68€ with no private bathroom. With less than that, Ive been in another big cities (like Madrid, Milan, or Lisbon) in much better condictions (private bathroom, much better breakfast, TV, double bed...). If we've paid less 30€, I'd give it 5 stars.
