All the reviews here are somewhat right. If you want to stay b/c the price is reasonable (40 Euros for 2 pax) and you like the proximity to Las Ramblas, than you must now what you are getting. A small room, not too clean but not too dirty, a TV, AC if you need, extra blankets, good bathroom, depressing and decrepit atmosphere and a street which is not too safe at all. The prostitutes are the least of my worries, but the drunk young customers who hand out in front of the hotel are a little more frightening. At last the biggest drawback is the noise. I have earplugs, and still could not sleep at all between the street noise and the other guests. I will not stay here again.

had a very good time in the hostel,friendly and helpfull staff,neigbourhood bit odd but u can get use to it:)small but clean rooms,very close to main strret Ramblas and shops!if u don't need a luxury that's good place to be!Very chep aswell!I"ll remember the staff:-)very positive people!!!

Although in the red district, the hostel has nothing to do with the "ladies" around. The hostel itself is very nice, very clean, very friendly receptionists. The only problem was the size of the room...I've never seen such a small room in my whole life...and I did travel a lot!!! But it was clean, it had AC and a nice bathroom. It was a it noisy outside and the wondows didn't block any of it. The greatest part about the hostal is its location. Close to the center, the Rambla, the beach and the Metro (well, about 500m away). I would recomand it for young tourists

The hostal is located in a street full of pushers and prostitutes, the staff is unpleasant, they ask you to pay in advance without even let you see the room. They also ask you for a 10 euros deposit for the controller of the air-conditioning. There are no facilities and the elevator is one-tiny-person-size. My room was dirty, with breadcrumbs and dust on the floor, the furniture was old and dirty too (it seemed stained by some liquid fallen), there were holes and stains on the blankets. The window was closed by a sort of divider to avoid the unpleasant sight of the prostitutes and their guests on the street. The walls and the doors seemed to be made out of paper, you can hear everything from the other guests, and even keeping the window closed i wasn't able to sleep because of the noise coming from the street.
