    some hangers on the wall would be a good addition.

    Helpful and friendly staff, clean rooms, it was always quiet with respectful guests and of course, the location is unbeatable if you truly want to feel like a first time tourist. The moment you step outside, you are in the heart of the shopping center and so many historical sights are near-by.

    The property is really really noisy. The walls are very thin so you can hear EVERYTHING. I read it in the reviews, but I thought it would be fine. However it was really noisy. Our room was next to the lobby so we would hear everything. At 7am the receptionist would change shifts and (obviously) do a handover but it would wake us up. If you’re planning to stay long or you’re a light sleeper, do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else.

    The hotel is beautiful and the style is very pretty. The beds were also really comfortable. What made it more amazing was the nice staff and the location.

    My room had very little natural light since the only window faced the courtyard inside. Not a major thing since I was there to travel and explore, but had to use the lights at any hour of day.

    Location was incredible! Perfectly located at the start of the Gothic Quarter, off La Rambla and extremely accessible via Placa De Catalunya. The gents at reception were truly lovely and available 24x7. Coming back to the hotel after each day was almost a welcome event. Rooms were also cleaned daily, the bed was very plush and comfy, and I really appreciated the blackout curtains.

    Only the one little niggle - and that's probably us numpty Brits not working out the European/Catalan system (lol), but when we got to the hotel we did find it difficult to initially work out which floor the hotel actually was on and so we were up and down a bit trying to find it - luckily we didn't have big cases with us, only manageable hand luggage. However - once located it was well remembered - although I cannot remember the actual floor now I've got back home (sorry, my bad). Perhaps a little bit more obvious signage on the lift/outside door may help. Not a big problem in the end really.

    Excellent location very close to Placa Catalunya; plenty of shops and bars and tourist exploration possible on foot from this location. Very handy having the 24 hour desk as some nights we were late in getting home. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Room very good. Lovely old building which we loved staying in - but looked and felt very modern on the inside. Get the day travel passes for Barcelona - available at the airport, during your stay - as this helps you get around on the very good and efficient metro system and very good value for money. My mate found some excellent vegan places in Barcelona - spoilt for choice really; some nearby to this hotel and others on the metro system (so get those cards) and so the Happy Cow App sent us to some wonderful places (although not vegan myself, I did 'go vegan' during our stay as it was most easy option -- wasn't disappointed).

    Our room had its own bathroom; however, there was no bathroom door. If you dont mind using the restroom while talking to your partner who’s laying in bed then, it’s great!

    Locatel in a great area that although busy was isolated from busy street noise.

    The walls inside the hostel are really thin and we could hear everything our neighbours were doing.

    It is a perfect place to spend some days in Barcelona. The location is great - you can easily walk to all the main attractions or use public transport, as the hostel is next to Plaça Catalunya with bus and metro stations. The staff was very friendly and helpful, asking all our questions. It was always clean in the shared bathrooms and our room was cleaned every day as well. Even though the hostel is located in a vibrant street, we couldn’t hear any noise in our room.

    I was slightly confused to find the right floor/door in the building where hostel is situated.

    The location was excellent, in walkable distance from main attractions and bus stops. Even though the hostel is placed on a busy road, it was very quiet inside.
