It was also my first time staying at a hostel and I had seen previous reviews, some who recommended and some who didn't give the full stars. I could honestly say, I was worried at first because you have this idea of hostels before you actually stay in one. But, it turns out my experience at Hostal de la Barra... More

We stayed here only for one night, but it was enough to get angry with the staff. The attendant was rude every time I had to talk to her. She even “reminded” me that I haven’t paid yet instead of saying good morning. It was ridiculous! My entire luggage was still in the bedroom. It seemed like I was trying... More

The breakfast was average and the internet wasnt working during out stay. Their was not hot water in the mens bathroom so I had... More

Good staff, great location. I stayed for a week and enjoyed it. Close to museums, bars, etc.

This place has seriously luxurious bunks! The beds are large and fluffy with super clean and soft linens! The location is great albeit a bit noisy but only from traffic. Our 8 bed room got a bit stuffy...a ceiling fan or any fan really could solve the problem quickly. Don't count on breakfast unless you're the first one there...the food... More
