Unfortunately no free wifi, poor breakfast, scary neighbourhood and also if you like tv, movies, common party rooms and so on - you won\'t be happy ;) But \'+\' for being close to the city centre, kind staff and cleanliness. Oh, and there\'s no problem with leaving your luggage before check-in and after check-out.

The location is a quite tricky to find in the beginning. Tips: From Barcelona airport take the shuttle bus(free) to Sants train station, then take the
Renfe train (free) to Plaza Espanya change to metro L3 to Catalunya, then change to L1, to universitat, take exit Pelai, walk to Sant Antoni road, at the second junction on left, is the Joaquin Costa road. On this road, it is quite run down, walk about 10mins, you will find the Hostal Gat Raval at no. 44. The service was good, no problem with shower and towels were changed and room cleaned everyday. Overall, location and service were good (24hr), near to La Ramblas but the road leading to the hostel was not so nice (quite mixed neighbourhood, and quite noisy). We took tapas at the Celler de Tapas restaurant just outside of this hostel (on Universitat road), beware of the buttered bread, which they served without being asked, and they charge you high cost (more than 4 euros for 4 thin pieces of bread!). Although overall the tapas were good, we will not go back again! We felt being cheated by this restaurant.
