Very small and dirty hostel. Very noisy, no lockers in room.

We had a 4 beds rooms, with private bathroom, a wonderful view to the main street. They do not have a heating system and we were really cold during the night.
Located close to the center and to a metro station.
Simple, but ok breakfast. Clean hostel.
The receptionist was a bit grumpy because we wake him up at 4 in the morning, but he helped us and gave us a room to sleep until morning when we were suppose to check in.

Ok look, it's true, this hostel is kind of 'crappy'. But this is exactly how hostels are supposed to be. Too many people book themselves into hostels expecting 'hotel quality accomodation'. I really don't care about certain things that others seem to get hung up on, because every day I was out all day (there's too much to do in this city) and would get back after dark. There was a clean bed and hot water there, so that's really all I care about.

This location is PERFECT, it's on the main street of Barcelona, yet about a 7 or 8 minute walk from the city centre square, so it's far enough from the hustle and bustle. If location and price are your two most important factors, stay here.

I will stay here next time I'm in town.

Two weeks I ago I booked a room through your website at the Hostel Rambla de Catalunya at Rambla de Catalunya n. 84 in Barcelona. While staying at this place it seemed to me that this place did not meet the legal requirements to be open to the public. This place did not count with the basic security rules such as fire extinguishers, emergency exits, basic hygiene, etc. I feared for my own security and the security of other guests at this place. Besides, the photos at the website are deceitful.

In addition, we encountered a problem with the booking of our room. When we arrived to this place the double private room we had booked was already occupied and we had to go to another one with inferior standards. While being there we spoke to other customers with the same experience.
