  • Close to the train station and metro. It has everything a hostel should have. Very strong Wifi. Breakfast is not included - they say it is but really its 24hr toast and butter with tea and coffee available. Plus - during the winter season, they seem to give people whole rooms to themselves, which is awesome!

  • It was a nice hostel, but a little overpriced for the area, but then it is only one of two hostels in Newcastle. The staff was nice as well, and they were able to store my bags.

  • No wardrobe, a bit expensive. From any other PoV was really fine

  • Friendly staff, very helpful. Good facilities, though rooms are rather basic (bed only).

  • Well i got sick and i payed for 10 days in advance, i said that i needed to change because i t would be a problem for the other guest, staying in a mixed dorm, so i found myself a hotel instead. If the Hostel could have showed a little respect then i could at least have my Money back. So my advise for all that is traveling to Newcastle. Stay Away !!! This hostel don`t respect their customer, even if they respect the hostel. I will never EVER stay there again !! :(

  • Great hostel, lots of nice people and the people of Newcastle are the nicest people I have met! Everything is real close. The train station is literally a couple of hundred feet away. Security is awesome and the rooms are very clean. Facilities are a bit old but that's not bad. I would recommend this to everyone.

Practically, Barcelona is a pretty easy city to navigate on foot or by public transport with a well laid-out grid system for the streets and a simple metro system. Here's an example of what you can do with 24 hours and a T10 (10 journey) metro ticket.
