The hostel is very conveniently located and walking distance to most of the main places one might want to see. I stayed in a double room with a balcony and en-suite. Everything was clean and as advertised. The hostel staff is friendly and always available. There are plenty of stores and cafes within a 5 min walk distance. The only thing is that the walls are thin so you can hear everything in the adjoining rooms and immediately outside the door but it was never a problem during my week long stay and most of the older buildings in Barcelona are similar.
