Good location. Close to La Ramblas and metro station is just down the street. Friendly and helpful receptionist throughout the stay. One of the best Paella I have ever had (recommended by the receptionist) is just 2 shops away from the hostel. More

The hostel provides lockers with digital lock which is great, I just need one card to open both the door and the locker. About 10 min walk to La Ramble. Very near supermarkets so dont buy anything from the automatic vending machine in the hostel. They provide drinkable from tap but it always runs out so be prepared to buy... More

The rooms do not have airconditioning even though it is advertised they do. For 20 people sleeping on each floor there are only 2 toilets and showers. I had to pay 10 euro for a new electronic key even though they provided me with one that did not work! Staff act as though you are wasting their time. Could not... More

This is the best hostel experience I had in Europe. It is very conveniently located, close to La Ramblas. The area is mainly inhibited by the Asian community. I stayed in Be Sound Hostel just for one night and it was a wonderful experience. It was very cheap considering how well they have maintained it.. The morning reception guy was... More

Overall, Be Sound was really good! We had an 8 bed dorm, and it was spacious enough for us not to feel like sardines, with fantastic giant lockers! Their free breakfast was cereal, bread/toast with jams, butter and nutella, orange juice, and other drinks. They have a kitchen that is fairly well equipped, with enough space for two (maybe three)... More

My cousins and I stayed here for three nights in May 2011. Be Sound Hostel definitely had its pros: Convenience to Las Ramblas (just a few-minute walk), a FREE breakfast (toast, nutella, jam; Cocoa Krispies and Bran Flakes; orange juice, coffee, tea) and FREE wifi in the common area (they also had a couple *working* computers. It also had its... More

This was my first trip to Spain and really my first time going out of the country by myself. I've had experiences in the past with hostels and they were never fun and at first, I was dreading the thought of having to stay in one but I knew it would be for the best since I was going alone.... More

Really enjoyed my stay here - There was a really good vibe about the place, lots of people my age (Mid 20's) but a real mixture of folk. I was originally gonna stay for 5 nights but ended up staying for 7 because Barcelona is wonderful. The hostel was clean, had good-sized rooms with individual lockers next to the bed,... More
