  • We made a reservation for 4 bed mixed room and we got a 6 bed mixed room. It was not a big problem because it was only 4 of us in the room, but still... we didn't want a 6 bed room. Everything else was good.

  • I only choosed this Hostel because I traveled alone (femal, 21 years old). I arrived around 5.00 pm at LaGuardian Aiport and I didn't want to travel through New York on my own. But after my arrival I realized that the next subway station is really far away and nobody was able to explain me how to get there.

  • Its located in Queens , so its around one hour travel time to Downtown by metro bus and subway and of course add an extra hour during night when the frequency of public transport is decreased. It has no common room, no laundry and staff was not so friendly but you can not expect everything for so less charge . Good for those who just want to spend the night.

  • At night,after midnight,it s complicated to get to that location,as it was necessary to take E-Train to Roosevelt Avenue,then take Bus Q33 to LGA-Airport and from there Bus M60 exactly to the location. plus:penalty-fee 30$ in case you take wrong bed,also extra-fee for late check-out,no breakfast served

  • Pay attention to the fact that the price you see on the web does not include tax and additional charges. For exemple, the daily price is 26 USD, and finally you would pay 33 USD with tax and additional fees included.

  • Despite the address not being 100% accurate (it is really close, and can be seen from the Boulevard the correct one), also has the problem of cars driving by the street and traffic noise in general, and the check-in time is really restricted to start by 3pm (so I'd arrived earlier, which means I waited during some hours...) But I really can't complain from all this experience. Really cheap place, comfortable and nice wireless connection.

  • I booked the Deluxe 4 Bed Female Dorm Ensuite for two days, but a man lived in the shared room on the second day. The staff said that is a mixed room. It is very noisy because the hostel is beside the highway.

  • It's not really convenient, but compared to the price, it's reasonable. They don't hold activities for travelers, it's not that fun to live in there.

  • When I checked in and went into the room on first day, it smelled really bad! My bed was coverd by someone's clothes. I cant stand it. Went downstairs n told her that I wanna change another room. The 2nd one was much much better. There's no dryer in my room. The traffic is so loud, but I brought my earplugs. That didn't matter to me. I would say the location is really good. 50/50 for getting a good room. But don't be sorry to ask for changing a better room. Don't forget that u pay money.

  • It's a pretty good hostel, very cheap, and the quality of the service is excellent. Furthermore, the staff is very respectful regarding the client. In addition to the rooms, you also have a great place where to hang out, or cook, not to mention that the internet is free in both building. There's a bus stop just in front of the hostel and maps are available for free in the hostel. One recommendation : provide client ( for free) with a secure box where to lock a computer for example or other stuff

  • Everything was fine, except some guests left the kitchen a bit messy. The staff needs to have someone in the kitchen area to keep guests in line. Also, there is a need for a trash bin to be closer to the cooking area so guests do not have to walk all the way to the doorway to empty trash. But, this was an excellent place for travelers to stay on a limited budget. I loved the staff...they were very helpful and pleasant!!

  • The price is very attractive but the location is pretty inconvenient. One has to spend around an hour to get to Manhattan. The wifi was very poor. I have stayed there for 6 days but there were only 2 days that I could access to the wifi.

  • It´s a pretty far from Manhattan, but taking the M60 and N/Q Train you get to Times Square in 40 minutes.. services run all nite.. I haven´t been in other hostels but it was a bit of a worry, when I had to left my bags at the aisle after checking out and while waiting for my time to go back to the airport.. anyways, the place is pretty clean, the people there keepseverything in order.. there´s a common area with pool table that´s pretty cool. I recommend it..

  • I was overcharged $100 based on the estimated price I was given. However I liked the location insofar as it was nearby a busstop that took us to the Subway.

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.
