I had the unfortunate coincidence to stay at this hostel in two differeny cities: Córdoba and Barcelona. Here is why I will never go back there (Barcelona): 1. Passive staff: the guys hate their job and it is evident; they seldom make eye contact and they are not very disposed to help. The second shift guy was downright rude when I asked plain questions: for example they have a sign for tagging the food in the kitchen, and when I asked him where the tags are he said "we never had that system before", quite arrogantly! 2. The place is full of negative energy because you are forced to see the word "bi*ch everywhere you turn your head. Honestly whoever made those designs did an awful job; you are supoosed to encourage empathy not discourtesy! 3. It would have been nice to give a heads up that your hostel is undergoing maintenance and that there is drill noise all morning and a living room that is almost inaccessable due to the works in progress. 4. The bed matress is thin and not a good treat after a long day of travelling, and I had better matressess in cheaper hostels. 5. Overall gloomy and unwelcoming atmosphere due to the lack of furniture, a very badly-equipped kitchen, and an unreasonable distribution of rooms - apart from those hideous signs; please use a better language! 6. Apparently with your room card you can open ANY ROOM! I saw a guy entering a girls-exclusive room while he was looking for his room! So much for privacy! NEVER GOING BACK!

PÉSIMO HOSTEL

Pésimo hostel, los implementos en la cocina sucios, rotos o viejos. No se podían dejar cosas en el refrigerador porque luego no estaban. La mujer de la limpieza (una señora mayor) muy poco amable, siempre de mal humor, no responde a los saludos y una vez le pido ayuda y "dice no entender español". Las camas muy incómodas, faltaban bombillas en las lámparas de noche NO HAY SALA DE COMPUTADORAS y por último, siempre faltaba papel higiénico en el baño, si uno no pedía, nadie lo reponía. Además llegue un día viernes aas 17 horas y no hay nadie en recepción,tarde una hora en que lograrán entregarme la llave de la habitación (porque la recepción solo está abierta de 10 a 14)

남자, 10인실

여러 형태의 방이 있는것 같은데 저는 10인실 사용했습니다. 공간이 넓어 서로 부딪힐 일 없이 편하게 보냈습니다. 공용 샤워와 화장실이고 크게 불편함은 없습니다. 남녀 공동 도미터리라 별일 없지만 여성분들은 고려하시구요. 주변에 공원과 마트, 버스, 지하철, 기차 등 접근성이 용이합니다. 리셉션도 친절하지만 규칙 위반시 페널티를 부과하는 것 같아요. 주의하세요.
