The location is very good. Really close to Las Ramblas.
The entire place was very dirty. The common area was dirty, and it was very
dark. When I was there, it was very hot, and they did not want to turn the fan
on. They said that it didn't work. You would think that they'd like to have
that fixed during July!?!
The rooms were so cramped, it was unbelievable! I was in an 8 person dorm, and
you were literally two feet away from the person next to you, it was torture.
Plus, the mattress was made of nerf football type material, and it was dirty!
Because the mattress was so dirty, you needed to get a bed sheets, but then you
find out that they cost 6.50 Euros! Complete ripoff. You could barely walk
inside your room. Only one person could walk through at one time because it was
that cramped. The beds creaked with the slightest touch. At night, people would
sleep outside in the back area because it was so hot inside the rooms.
The bathroom was average.
The lockers were average as well.
They do have laundry service, but it is only one washer and dryer. So you have
to hope that someone else isn't washing their clothes, because then you will
waste a lot of your day doing just that.
The staff are the most unfriendly I have ever met at a hostel. And I have been
to about thirty hostels. They made it seem like they were doing you a favor by
allowing you to stay there. They made me change rooms three times in five days.
They even made me leave out of my eight-bed dorm because a group of eight
chinese travelers were staying and I should leave because I "know how chinese
people are". What the hell does that mean?
Their breakfast is crap. Crackers and coffee.
When you combine an unfriendly hostel, disgusting rooms, a very hot and humid
common area, and a complete disregard of the needs of the guests, you end up
with possibly the worst hostel in all of Europe.
