It’s a great central place to stay in the Centre of Barcelona, everything is close or via Playa Catalunya (like 5-10 min walk) accessible. You are like in the middle of the Gotic District, next to the building is like a market and a marketplace. With doors closed and A/C on its comfy, and even when there was a live band on the marketplace I was able to sleep. A lot of good (fast food) restaurant’s around or accessible in 5 minutes. Remember that it is a hostel with 2 stars, so don’t expect a 5-star luxury service with whirlpool waterbed or something. Even though the shared bathrooms seem to be newly refurbished, always clean and the staff is always nice to you and open for small talk.
I got on thing left to say what the Hostel can’t change and of course is not theirs fault: my phone was stolen like 200m away from the Hostel. It was during the night at around 5am when 2 Algerians were pretty nice to me first, then wanted to dance the Sirtaki with me and yeah then it was gone, I didn’t notice it even when I was sober. Just like magicians. I ran after them and stopped them, cause I noticed like 10secs after we separated. After 20 minutes of walking and discussing (one of them was bleeding on his hand and ruined my shirt and said he will go to police and stuff) I gave them all my cash, 110€, to get it back. Later I knew I should’ve beaten them up. That’s not an advice to you, but for the future-me. So please do yourself a favor and avoid those people, keep your valuables close together (obviously in whole Gotic District and even more at La Rambla, which is like 1-2min by feet away).
