Positive Reviews
positive:
Location is quite good
There are plenty of interesting places to visit within walking distance of the hostel, including the beach and the market next to it. There is also a nice variety of bars and restaurants nearby. If you're trying to get around, several means of transportation are available including the metro and buses.
positive:
Plenty of amenities for everyone
Although the showers and toilets are communal, there is enough of these facilities for everyone. The facilities are also quite clean, which is a major plus considering the number of people using them. There is an area where you can cook, too, and there is free pasta all day.
positive:
Lots of group activities
Plenty of activities are organised for guests staying at the hostel, including dinners and picnics. These provide excellent ways with which you can meet new people during your stay in Barcelona.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Rooms are quite small, a/c woes
Although there is a variety to choose from, all the rooms are rather small; you will feel cramped when there are several people staying inside. The chambers can also get very warm at night, yet there is no way you will adjust the a/c locally.
negative:
Common areas are closed at night
The common areas - where computers, televisions, and other fun stuff are provided - are closed during the night. This leaves you with no place have fun on site.
negative:
Intended for kids
You are likely to find a large number of kids in the hostel during your stay, which may not be ideal for many adults. Some of the rules such as the ‘no alcohol' rule also seem to be geared towards the kids.
