My friend and I were traveling in Spain for 10 days, 5 in Madrid and 5 in Barcelona. As two girls 23-24 we were a little concerned about safety in Barcelona, but we felt very safe at Kabul. We also wanted to stay at a hostel to meet people and that we did! The hostel is wild - has a... more

If you are young(ish) and travelling alone, Kabul Hostel is the best! You'll make friends the first day and remain lifetime friends. Its in a great location. Walk to the beach every morning, sip wine and nibble on tapas at night. more

I left Australia with few recommendations or ideas about what I was going to do in Europe when I arrived. Barcelona, however, was the exception to this. KABUL. That was all my friends told me - you go to Barcelona, you go to Kabul. If you're under 30 and can handle your alcohol, this is the place you go to... more

Definitely the place to stay if you're young and looking to party. Rooms are a little tight because of all the bunks, but it's very safe because everyone gets their own locker. Each floor is cleaned daily and sheets are changed. Free breakfast and lunch on first come first serve basis (its not a big meal, but its free). 20... more

This was a great hostel!-Location could not have been better!!!! literally a second away from Las Ramblas,2 mins from Liceu stop off the Metro...a short walk away from almost all of the "sights" I was traveling solo and made friends with a lot of great ppl!-we all went partying and sightseeing together, had a blast! While the Hostel does take... more

Its in a great location but its a dive end of. The staff are rude, breakfast is terrible, rooms are dark, washing facilities are disgusting, bunk beds are narrow. I cant say enough bad things. Unless your real skint and blind hahah more

Our friends were staying in Kabul and allowed us to store our stuff in their locker. When we returned later that night to retrieve our things, management forced my girlfriend and I into a room, called the cops and asked us to pay 50 euro for the use of the lockers. Scared, we payed the money, at which point the... more

It's considered the best hostel in Barcelona. While I am not sure this is the case (I enjoyed my staying at centric point a bit more), I would strongly recommend Kabul. Its location is perfect -in Plaza real. The place is noisy and perfect to party. The staff is very rough. In my first impression they were all deceptive. Later,... more

In heart of La Trambla street. Amazing, place, average price but lot's of youg people so it's not so expensive when you make new friends. So it's very nice place. Everything is near and there is arranged activities such as rounds in local bars. If your going to Barcelona backpacking just go this hostel. !!! more
