My first impression about the hostel is clean and shiny. Smart choice for budget travelers. Very close to the center and attractions, you can reach almost of the places on foot. Close to North station where you can take bus to go to Valencia or Madrid.The coolest thing about this place was the owner- Rebecca, she was absolutely helpful and... More

I am a first-time hostel guest in my fifties. The Hip Karma Hotel is an immaculate accommodation on a street that is not overly busy. The staff speaks perfect English. There are numerous Internet terminals, laundry service provided by the staff for a fee, and locked drawers that will hold carry-on sized luggage and other items. A very clean kitchen... More

This is the first time I had stayed in a hostel for years, but had read some good reviews and needed something cheap but in a good location in central Barcelona. This place more than filled the gap. Firstly, the hostel is just 5-10 mins walk from Las Ramblas and very near 2 metro stations, the nearest is Urquinaona which... More

At first, this hostel was somewhat difficult to find. I was standing on the corner of Girona and Ronda San Perre for about 5 minutes before I realized that there was a glass sign (I will use this as my excuse for not being able to find it immediately) on the corner of the street, closer to the Placa Catalunya...

I stayed at Hip Karma a couple of years ago with a group of friends while we were studying abroad. While it is a little tricky to find, it is a super clean, modern hostel with great staff! The beds are super comfortable and the little curtains on each bed provide privacy. The bathrooms were super clean, the location is... More

it is difficult to find, it is at corner of two streets, there is just little sign on doorbell. the advise is "to follow down the street" but you can turn to direction to the sea instead.... there are around many coffee houses and restaurants, including supermarket after 23:00 no showers, no Internet. staff speaks goid English otherwise OK
