We were very glad when it became time to check out of this hostel. It may have just been bad luck on our part to receive the worst possible (at least i hope there werent any rooms that were worse) six person room. It had one very small window with no natural light, fluorescent lights, and white walls... Very institutional.... More

I had a great stay at the Hipstel. The location can't be beat. It is a hostel, so of course, you are going to have noise when people come in at night. I only woke up once, around midnight, but people quieted down after that. I had a single, and it was great! Only a block or two to some... More

I had a great time in the hostel. The service was good, and the people who worked there were kind. The environment was good and I had the chance to meet many others that were there staying. I would recommend it to any other person who like the hostel experience, he/she would not regret.

The breakfast was great, the room I had was nice with a big covered porch! It was a 12 person dorm and I enjoyed all the people I met! The staff are very friendly and helpful, even the cleaning staff! The only negative to my stay were school groups with kids running in the halls (not really hostels fault) I... More

The staff were so helpful when I had my handbag stolen while out in Barcelona, without their help the process of sorting everything out would have taken three times the time! Thank you so much! The night out and the dinner options were a great way to eat and drink cheap as well as meet great people. The room was... More

Booked this for my group of university students, based on the good Tripadvisor reviews and we all thought it was a lovely hostel. We have been coming to Barcelona for the last three years and this is the best hostel we have staying in. I never wanted to rebook the others but I would be happy to rebook the Hipstel.... More

There was definitely some confusion when we first booked through hostelbookers.com. In April we selected a private room with bathroom (for 2 people) and paid accordingly (for our stay in May). The e-mail confirmation then said that it was a twin room, but said nothing about a private bathroom. We didn't react to this thinking that the reservation would have... More

At first I had only booked for 1 night at the Hipstel, however, I booked about 5 nights more because I had such a great time there. It's a great place to meet people from all over the world and they have pub crawls everyday, so you can go clubbing every night with all the fun people you've met. Furthermore... More
