Muy bueno

La habitación era súper amplia! Teníamos cama extra y heladerita, lo malo fue que teníamos una ventana a un patio interno de desagüe o algo así.. y continuamente se escuchaban ruidos de agua. La ubicación en la ciudad es muy cómoda, hay una línea de metro en la esquina y recorres toda la ciudad con ella

Los inodoros están instalados con triturador que hace un ruido enorme. El aire acondicionado tiene un compresor que salta haciendo un gran sonido, como de alarma, está comunicado con el de otras habitaciones y, aunque esté apagado, salta a cualquier hora.

Nice place for a short stay in Barcelona

We stayed it this hostel for 5 days. It was a bit too long due to the absence of the kitchen. We knew there is none, so we brought our own plates and cups, and used the common microwave oven and an electric kettle to prepare breakfasts. The hostel is clean, the stuff is very friendly. We had a beautiful room with a street view and a shared bathroom. The bathroom was always free and clean, which is rare for a busy hostel. Our room was a bit noisy due to the traffic on the street, but nothing a simple pare of earplugs couldn't handle. So yes you have to do some preparations in order to have a comfy stay in this hostel, but its price/quality relation and its really perfect location are worth it. We barely used public transport, as almost everything was in a walking distance to the hostel. We would recommend this place. Just maybe for a bit shorter stay.

Albergo carino e molto comodo in quanto in buona posizione, si trova a fatica solo per il fatto che non vi è un’insegna abbastanza visibile. Nel complesso soggiorno gradevole.

Bonne surprise au niveau de la chambre avec salle de bain privée simple mais agréable et le tout assez spacieux. Très proche de la station de métro rocafort et quartier agréable. Petit bémol au niveau du bruit car dès utilisation de l’eau (meme hors de notre chambre) une sorte de broyeur se met en route qui fait un bruit infernal de jour comme de nuit... De nombreux voyants qui restent allumés dans la chambre la nuit, prévoir un masque de sommeil pour les personnes qui craignent la lumière!

Easy to get around.

Staff were helpful. Shared bathrooms were very clean. Only let down was that there was no aircon, fan didn't help much.

Hôtel bien situé pour prendre l'avion tôt

Hôtel très bien situé si vous devez vous rendre à l'aéroport très tôt le matin, le bus de nuit passe à la place d'España située à 5mn à pied. Chambre confortable mais assez bruyante, et une lumière au-dessus de la porte reste allumée tout le temps. la salle de bain partagée est propre. Je n'y resterai pas plusieurs nuits à cause du bruit de la réception et de cette lumière, mais c'est bien si on a un avion à prendre.

Hotel bien situado, pero con algunas pegas

Un hotel bien situado y económico, personal atento y limpio, el principal inconveniente es el ruido, se oyen las conversaciones tanto de la recepción como de otras habitaciones, hay ascensor pero no está disponible para la planta donde está situado el hotel, la habitación que nos dieron daba a un patio interior, con ventana que no cerraba bien por lo que se oía todos los ruidos de la comunidad.

L'accueil a été bon. Mais pendant la nuit, on entend la sonnerie de la porte sur tout l'étage. Cela réveille tout le monde. En plus de ça, un soir, personne ouvrait la porte, et mon amie a du se lever 3 fois pour ouvrir la porte car la personne à la réception n'étais pas là. Ou bien elle n'a pas entendu la sonnerie! Je ne recommande pas pour les gens qui veulent bien dormir !
