The hostel was clean and in a great location. Really enjoyed the stay! Its on a main street so its a bit noisey. But would recommend it to those who are young and require a relatively cheap place to stay.

Well... The Place was OK, it is really near from everywhere. The Staff was nice and everything almost great, when I was there the Air Conditioner wasn't funktion at all... and it was really hot :( and they just rebuild the building so... it was really loud, they have supposed to tell us about that, but they didn't do that, so when we were coming of coz we were sad. The Shower and toilette also not really funktion... well that was a really pity.

We had a great stay here. It's really central, clean and efficiently run. A staff member is around all day (just knock on the staff door by reception or ring the door bell) to give advice about stuff to do and see.
It's not a hostel it's appartments, so meeting people here.
The kitchen is really well equipped and breakfast is great.
The only bad thing is the metro runs directly under the building and there is building works on the facade so it can be a bit noisy.
Definitely recommend.

Everything was pretty good, except perhaps the cleanliness. Certain bathrooms had a certain smeel and the floor should have been cleaned more often. But all in all, a nice hostel, very well located.

die lage ist ideal und ansonsten soweit alles gut und schön, nur leider sehr laut, da einige zimemr zur straße hin sind, die eine hauptstraße ist und gerade an der aussenfassade gebaut wird, desweiteren fährt die metro untendrunter, so dass man ab und zu das donnern davon hört.

I would highly recommend this place! It's closer to a 2 star hotel than a hostel. The staff are REALLY friendly and the place is very clean and well kept with ample room in the bedrooms and in a great location. There was even a/c in our room which we couldn't believe (and were very happy about!). We happened to be in a room away from the road so it wasn't too noisy, though I think some of the rooms would be as the place is right on a main road. There were plenty of bathrooms which were nice and clean, though the showers were fairly small. The only downfall I would say is the late fee they charge you if you arrive after midnight. We had a plane delay and didn't get in until 00:45 so were charged 27Euros for our trouble. However, we did know about this before hand and took the chance. But apart from that I would very highly recommend this place.

We booked 2 weeks in advance and confirmed our arrival by email. However, when we arrived they'd overbooked and given away our room!! Luckily we were upgraded to a different building closer to the port, but the staff didn't even know what was going on or hardly speak english, and the upgrade rooms weren't even made up. So our 5pm checkin actually stretched til 10pm at night! And then they weren't even going to give us a key to the building so we'd have to stay in on our first nite! Ridiculous!

Our stay at Apartments in Barcelona was very enjoyable. The young lady in charge of checking everyone in was very helpful and spoke enough english for us to understand for the little bit of spanish we spoke. The place was secure, and we had our own key to the gate, front door, and room which we could keep with us at all times (very desirable). Location was great (next to gaudi's cathedral), located 20-30 minute walk to beach and about same to sagrada familia and casa mila. Only downside was the sheets smelled like sweat, but because everything else was so nice this didnt really matter to us. Kitchen with refrigerator and stovetop, and 4 bathrooms all with showers. It was the best stop of our trip. We will make sure to reserve for the next time we travel to Barcelona. STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!

I spent a week in the hostel with my friend and we liked the place because it was really great located, very near to everything in the centre, the kitchen was well equipped, and the hostel looked quite nice too. The girl was very kind and helpful at the reception / in charge of the hostel.
The only thing we were sorry about, that the renovation is still going on at the front of the house and so we were not allowed to open the windows to outside. We had air-condition, so the room temperature was OK, only we could not get fresh air and the room was quite dark because of the building site just in front of the window.
But once it will be done (I would be happy to know when) it will surely be very nice! :-)
The other thing we would recommend to the hostel that they change the floor of the rooms, because the tiles do not look nice, they look like dirty also when they are clean.
But it was only in the rooms because in the lobby/corridor the parquet was nice and I really liked the beautiful posters of Barcelona there too!
So, I would go to the hostel with pleasure again, but I think rather after the renovation is finished.
