The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great, within walking distance of popular destinations such of Gaudi art and La Sagrada Familia. The common area is highly used and a great way to meet people within the hostel. People will lounge, cook, play games, etc in that area. A lot of accommodations and a helpful staff really made the stay comfortable. Hola hostel was my first experience using a hostel and it didn’t disappoint!
