Diagonal Home in , Spanien

When I stayed in Diagonal Home, there were very few guests so that the guesthouse was so quite. For some people, crowded guesthouses were preferred, but for me, it was so nice and I could take a rest enough as if I was in home. Even though it was a little bit difficult to find the guesthouse because there is no big sign board and it is just like other neighborhood house, not like commercial hostels, that is why I could enjoy the chance to experience the old Barcelona's apartment Kyoung Hyo, from South Korea ~ 5th Oct 2012

It is a dirty place, the staff does not help you in anything, and they don't have security cards or keys on the room, or in the hostel, so people can enter your room anytime, besides this I've requested a female room and they put me in a room with 5 boys, without listening my complains about my reservation.

This hostel was not what I was expecting at all.It was dirty, gross, and disgusting.The bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchens were unacceptable.I did not want to shower there and I did not want to cook any food there.I doubt the bathrooms were ever cleaned the entire time I was there for 5 nights. Guests leave their dirty dishes with food all over the common areas and the kitchen.The internet did not work in our rooms and in the common areas it was extremely slow and did not work at times.

Helpful staff and well located Hostel, can sometimes be difficult to access the one elevator in the building. Dean, from England ~ 8th Sep 2012

I've been staying in hostels for more than 8 years, but this was the first time the staff was absolutely rude. One of the guys working at night was watching a movie when I arrived late at night and it seemed we were disturbing him when inquired about the lack of internet connection and he said 'I'm watching a movie, if the internet doesn't work it's because probably they didn't pay the bill'. Can you believe that? Apart from this, the location is nice. Mariana, from Belgium ~ 7th Sep 2012

We had blood suckers bugs in our bed. In the first night we had to sleep in the coutch on the living room. The room have a window to the elevator. The hostel is old and the kitchen in not clean as the bathrooms. The elevator never works. Angela, from Portugal ~ 6th Sep 2012

I really liked that place I felt home! The staff was so helpful, accommodating and friendly. I liked the location according to the city center where lots of hostels seems to be party houses instead of a sleeping surface. In this location you get the chance to experience the best parts of Barcelona outside the center. Diagonal Home is a great place to meet other cool travelers. You can cook your own food in the kitchen and have a good night sleep. The atmosphere is cosy and warm. Anna Emma, from Denmark ~ 30th Aug 2012
