Disliked: Amenities
You will get message from this place asking when will you check in. I found out that they did not care about you. But they just want to make sure that you won't come earlier than check in time. I stayed here during the music festival(Primavera sound). So every accommodation in Barcelona are full. First date I arrived was no problem as I checked in late. But the second time I asked them. Can I leave my luggage and check in early. They said it is ok. But I have to pay 6Euro for that. So I just put my stuffs to my friend's hostel nearby(FREE). And even I pay 6Euro here for just deposit for luggage. They won't let me stay at the lobby. The reason was that lobby is small. I asked when should I come? They said 2pm as the checked in time. I was wonder if someone just arrive here by the long flight. Do we have to wait outside until check in time. This trip to Europe was 29 days N I have never seen any hostel which do not let guess wait at the lobby if they arrive early. Anyway good things about this hostel was the location and some staffs were quite nice......
