I stayed here for three nights during a short trip to Barcelona. The location was excellent, just ten minutes from the Franca station, beach in walking distance, ramblas, etc., yet in a relatively quiet neighborhood. Upon arrival, the building looked nice and inviting. we were let in by a young boy who simply pointed us to the door of our... More

Room and bathroom were dirty. They did not serve breakfast and we couldn't use the kitchen. They asked for the total payment in advance. We were in the owners' house. There were no curtains at the window so we couldn't sleep in the morning because of the light. The neighbourhood was noisy all the time, night and day. The owners... More

I stayed there with my boyfriend and I liked it very much. It is definetely value for money and very tasteful and arty decorated. The owners prepared a paella for us! And I didn't find any problem with the cleanliness. It's location is perfect! In general I am quite happy with our stay there!

The owner was very friendly, he picked us up from a nearby market and gave us some directions and recommendations to go to interesting places in the city.

After having sent the money via PAYPAL I was told there was no reception on site, that somebody would have come to meet us upon arrival and that we would have to pay on spot and... for late arrival / check in an addition fee of 5€...

Great in idea, terrible in reality. Although the owners were chatty and overall nice, I felt like we were guests in their house and they were too busy to take care of us. We had to ask for literally everything when we came in, which gets a bit frustrating if you're traveling for a short time especially since we paid... More

My first impressions of the hostel were excellent, the interior design in the downstairs area is very cool - kind of rustic with some lovely antique furniture and the kitchen area is great. We were upgraded for free to the "suite" (I had booked just a double room with ensuite). The room was fine, plenty of hanging space, a very... More
