This was our first hostel experience and worked out great for our family of 4's short visit to Barcelona. The location is excellent, easily walkable from Aerobus stop and metro stations, as well as tourist areas. Although a busy/loud area, when the windows were closed, it was very quiet for sleeping. Kids enjoyed a few dips in the pool despite the cooler weather. Would highly recommend for an affordable stay in the city.

I like our spacious terrace and bar with lounge area. The breakfast was good, nice choice of food and fruit, just coffee from the Maschine didn't taste so good. The swimming pool could have been a bit deeper. Overall a nice place, with good facilities. Can definitely recommend.

Ok inn Barcelona

Room is very small. There are no places to hang towels and for four people that was an issue. Also, you could hear the showers from other rooms. If it was during the day that would be fine but it seemed as if the other guest would take them after we fell asleep.

Really beautiful, clean hostel with a cool fingerprint entry system rather than keycards. One of the more pristine hostels I have stayed in. It loses a star because the common area felt like a public, fancy bar rather than a place for the hostel guests. That beanbag and card games vibe didn't exist - which is what I think hostels are all about.

Very clean and modern hostel with efficient reception check in and out, fingerprint recognition, security for the front door and dorm rooms, large personal storage lockers, and very comfortable beds. Super friendly and helpful staff and a great, all you can eat buffet breakfast for an extra charge. Beautiful pool table, although only one cue has the regular tip. Nice second story Terrace with a small swimming pool although when I was there in mid October, the water was too cold for me and because of tall buildings true sunbathing is limited to about one hour in the middle of the day. 30 percent more expensive than nice but older hostels in the old city and the prices seem to rise If you book close to arrival, so if you know your dates, it's wise to book a week or two in advance.
