Waited over an hour for someone to answer the door so I could check in. Staff was rude and lied that they sent the code, did not apologize. Room had a fetid smell, no window which meant you had to run a AC unit that had obvious signs of mold. The fire sprinkler was tapped off and the bed was very uncomfortable.

I was pleasantly surprised as I was not expecting much but it was wonderful. I was greet and shown the apartment , living area, and told all the things I needed to know for the weekend.
Close to a train station (across the road) lots of restaurants, easy walking to Marina a beach.
Room had a double bed even though it was a single. No window except for ventilation. Bathroom was modernized. Had some storage and some new slippers… which I used all 24 days!
Elevator was great. Aldi across from front door.
Would stay again but would definitely book a view.

Right for the Price
This property was about what you would expect for the price. The room is exceptionally small. We were placed in the wrong room and then asked to move after we had unpacked all of our things, but otherwise the staff are friendly. Again--the room are amusingly small (we took a picture for our friends), so if you have a lot of luggage, this might not be the most appropriate lodging choice.

Great location. I liked that we had coffee, tea, and pastries to start or end the day. A refrigerator is in the kitchen area to store your food/drink. Traveled with 5 people, the triple room had a cute balcony. No problems with AC. A few stairs before you get into the tiny elevator up to lobby. If you have mobility issues or lots of luggage this might be a problem. Friendly service.

Equate this more to a B&B than a full service hotel or a typical hostel. We had a triple room with private en suite bath, balcony and A/C. Other rooms used a shared bath. There was a common area with tables, chairs, dishes, refrigerator to store food/drink. And a common rooftop terrace. Housekeeping was impeccable, maybe even too much as we could have fared without new towels every day. The people running the space were so kind and informative. You cannot beat the location. Right on the edge of The Born neighborhood so easy walkability to museums, shops and restaurants but not in the thick of the nightlife noise. Parks, beaches and transport are at your doorstep!

Nice and clean, great hostel
The rooms are very clean and comfortable, it is very close to Santa Maria del Mar and Born Market, the staff is very friendly, if you have a car the area is very hard to find parking and expensive, you can walk easily to many sights, good hostel highly recommended

I always pictured a hostel to be on the disgusting side, but this was good enough. The only thing that I’d recommend is getting new kitchen supplies because when you warm the water in the steamer it just comes out disgusting. It wouldn’t be bad to restore the place a bit. It’s haunted, too lol

Fine for a solo traveler
The room was comfortable but very small. As a solo traveler it was adequate but would have been problematic if there were 2 people.
