Finding the front door was a bit of a challenge. Check in was good(don't forget your passports). Parking was around the back (unpaved). Rooms were exactly like the photo's. Patio door on room didn't appear to lock. Loved getting our picnic bags at 3:30am for breakfast on check out. There was a group of young kids in the hostel on the same floor as us when we checked it, they were quite loud. Ear plugs helped allow us to get to sleep. Although they did settle around 9pm. The shower could be a little cleaner, all the floors are tile so walking around in bare feet wasn't comfortable. Loved the focus on the UN sustainable goals and it was super convenient for a quick arrival for early morning flight. Overall I would go back. One broken tile on the 1st floor was loud when people walked over it.

This is more a community center than a youth hostel. If you are looking for a very cheap place near the airport : go but don't go if you are looking for cleanliness or comfort. This is a place to crash for a night on a low budget.

My wife and I had a 10 hour layover in Barcelona between flights. We booked a "twin room" expecting 2 single or twin beds. When we got to our room we discovered 2 sets of bunk beds with a wall between them. When I returned to reception I was told that this was our room, costing $180, or I could pay an additional 90 euros for a room with 2 beds. The room itself was more like a dorm room, or a prison, with all concrete walls and no warmth whatsover. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT STAY HERE!

This is a hostel, so even if you have a private room with your own bathroom, the only amenities are soap, towels & toilet paper. The room and facilities are very clean, staff is helpful, and breakfast is great! It's in a working class neighborhood that seems quite safe; not much night life around the hostel. Bring your own shampoo and it's a good value for money.

Fantastic location; very practical as this is two apartments linked together with two kitchenettes, two lounges & two balconies giving lots of flexibility of living space as a group; decor is slightly in need of attention but we had a fabulous time and would definitely book this apartment again!

Sound travels well throughout the building and into the room. We could hear revellers outside as well as the next door guests extremely clearly. So much so, that we did not sleep at all. It didn’t help that there was kind of junior school residential going on there too, which was loud up until around midnight. But even after that, loud talkers walking past the room would be very clear to hear. Not only did we hear talking, but creaking and slamming of doors etc. Three rooms are extremely basic to the point that you could say that they are one step up from a prison cell!! However, I need to keep in mind that this is a low priced hostel and not a basic hotel. I was also under the impression that there was a shuttle to the airport - being major a reason that I booked - only to find out at check in that there is no such shuttle and transport to the airport is mainly by taxi or 3 metro stops to T1. I have to say, though, the staff were excellent. They were helpful. I interacted with reception and the canteen - and assisted with my needs without hesitation. I suppose the room is good value for money, as long as you can put up with noise through the night!

Basic but practical overnight near airport

Youth hostel with spacious individual rooms. Close to airport but too far to walk, regular bus service nearby, or taxi costing €21. Institutional feel, bare rooms, with many school groups. Local area feels somewhat dodgy walking around at night. As had 5.50 flight, it served as decent functional overnight.

Such a perfect location, near to airport, calm and beautiful, delicious and afforable meals, friendly staff and flexibility ot drop of our bags early. They gave us a breakfast picnic since we had to check out early to go to the airport. I wish i'd stayed here longer. Only con is that its a little far from the main attractiosn but the metro is nearby and it takes about 40 min to get to the city centre

If you're looking for somewhere quiet then this is not it. There were big groups of school age kids running up and down the corridor outside my room until 11pm, and also below my balcony. I had an early flight the following morning and I barely got 2 hours sleep. There's limited dining options too.
