The location of this hostel couldn't have been better. Right on a main vein inside the Barrio Gotic, easy to navigate to, close walking distance to the beach and just a few twists and turns to La Rambla or in the other direction, the 'Born neighbourhood' and about 10 mins up to Plaza Catalunya. It was basic, however the price... More

I went to Barcelona with a friend in May 2011 to attend Primavera Live Festival. We found this hostel and we thought the location was great and the price too. The location is indeed great, but everything else sucks: the rooms are renewed but still kind of old. Our was stinky. Breakfast was actuallt ok for the price we paid.... More

We stayed here for 4 days and expected it to be basic going on the reviews. We decided to go ahead with the booking as we were visiting Barca with friends and figured we only needed a bed. These were our main observations good and bad: *We had a room without a bathroom but did have a sink, the tap... More

Bathroom ok, first day water was a little too cold, 2nd day ok. You can leave You lagguage and pick it up later, after cheek out. Little hard... More

We stayed for three nights at Hostal Baires on a team event. Afterwards, I could only possibly imagine this hostel as suitable for students or very low-budget travelers who are willing to put up with a lot of noise at an old, unkempt hostel. The bad: Very misleading website (hostelbaires.com). Take what you expect from the pictures and cut that... More

We had a reservation for 3 nights but we decided to stay only the first one, our room was on the first floor and there was a pub downstairs, the sheets were very dirty and we found some bugs on them, we went at 2 am to the reception to ask for an explanation and they said that they were... More

I made a reservation in Hostal Baires in August, but I cancelled it four weeks before the arrival. (Actually neither reservation was easy... I had to call the hostal three times.) The hostal did't pay my money back, moreover they didn't reply my e-mails, and although they answered my fifth (!) mail, unfortunately they 'forget' English. I had to gave... More
