Last Resort Hostel
We arrived at 15.00, and waited 15 mins in reception for the very pleasant gentleman to arrive, in his shorts and shirtless from the shower, to show us our room. The most hideously decorated I have ever stayed in, shattered glass in the window and a dirty tatty curtain that didn't cover it. Single glazed and broken , it did little to keep out the noise of the busy street outside. Yes there was a microwave, and a fridge I wouldn't have put any food in, no tea/coffee facility. Shared wc/shower rooms of matching quality with broken shower fittings, apparently maintained by someone visually impaired with not even basic diy skills. Cannot imagine how this warrants 2 stars, and at 59€ our night was 100% overpriced. Owners obviously have no shame or pride.

Worst hotel in history
Shocking hotel I was put in the laundry room with a makeshift bed and it was £86 for the night. Really think you should take this hostel off your website it’s easily the worst place I have ever stayed

It was very basic. Very friendly. The lock on the door was comforting. It was located in a nice area. The bathrooms were ugly and there was nothing to hold the shower head hose up so it was a bit inconvenient. Also we tried to come in rather late from partying but no one answered the door for 20 minutes.

Where do I start? Not only could you hear everything from within your room, and I mean everything... other peoples bowel habits, people throwing up, arguing... I had a knock on my door at 3am from the man who had checked me in. Coming to my room with a bottle of water asking if I want beers, I told him no and that I just wanted to go to sleep, he was persistent so I told him no again. He left and five minutes later there’s another knock on my door... there he is again, large bottle of beer in hand and a couple of plastic cups. This time he’s trying to come into my room, really pushing this beer. I kept saying no and eventually I managed to get rid of him. Really not sure what kind of behaviour this is, but as a female travelling alone having a man coming to your room, not once but twice after 3am trying to get alcohol in you. Really not okay, you should not feel unsafe in accommodation, too worried to fall asleep in case someone comes into your room. Overall - dodgy, uncomfortable and dirty... extremely unprofessional.

Not a happy camper
Very dangerous neighborhood. I had my phone snatched out of my hand right in front of the hostel. I only managed to get it back because 2 locals chased the guy until he threw it down to get away. The next morning I went out on the patio and it was full of sketchy people and I don't think they were staying there. Ali at reception was very helpful but the others were less than helpful and often didn't speak to me when I asked questions. I speak Spanish so that wasn't the reason. It's the reason I left Barcelona and came to Madrid. I love it here.

Hostel/apt
Good location but disgusting conditions. They put us in an apartment at another location instead of the single room+private bathroom we had reserved. When they brought us to the apartment, nothing had been cleaned including the bedding from previous guests. The staff did change the sheets and sounded like they did a quick clean up in the washroom, however the place was filthy overall and there is no way they cleaned the washroom sufficiently in the 5 minutes he was in there. It was disgusting. The kitchen was so dirty I couldn't even be inside. I was horrified by the state of this place. Might be okay for a group of 18 yr olds but not for us and not at the price we paid. Would never ever return and would never recommend to a friend.

A bit like paying to sleep in a public toilet.
I paid £69 for a room in this hostel and from the moment I realised it did indeed lie behind the dirty door lacking any reference to the name they're currently trading under I had bad feeling about it. The room was utterly disgusting, dirt smeared all over the walls, stains on the sheets and a single window looking out onto a central courtyard. To make matters worse the staff spent the night smoking in courtyard so I had to decide between a ridiculously hot room and one which stank of smoke. The only positive is that it's in a good location, but frankly so are plenty of park benches and they would almost certainly have been cleaner and definitely cheaper.

Very poor hotel, good location
The room was dingy, ugly and in poor repair. The hand held shower had no functioning wall mount, bathroom was very tiny, making showers awkward. The bathroom had a stinky mop and pail in the middle of the floor when we arrived, but even after we removed this, the bathroom still smelled vaguely of urine. We ended up needing to change our travel plans last minute, so booked this hostel since availability in Barcelona was quite limited. It was highly over priced, with no option for cancellation, and very substandard. Stay away!
