    Lovely place :)

    It's not the hostel's fault, but one night the corridors were covered in trash due to some inconsiderate guests. However, the poor boy at the reception promptly ran to clean the entire corridor. I felt sorry for him having to deal with this in the middle of the night

    Lovely place to stay with a great vibe! However, if you're looking for a quiet retreat, this might not be the best choice as it caters to a youthful crowd. I loved the energetic atmosphere, with pub crawls and events that make it easy to mingle, even if you're traveling alone. Plus, it's very close to the beach. The staff were also lovely.

    I slept on a bottom bunk with an incredibly comfortable bed with curtains. I slept better than I have in a long time. I also liked how the bathroom and showers were not in the room this allowed for a quieter space for everyone in the dorm. Very peaceful experience.

    Overall very good. The shower area could be bigger.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The shower cubicle is so tiny, there is nowhere you could put your dry clothes in and you'll have to put it outside the cubicle. The sinks are also too close together. There are 3 sinks, but only 2 of you can be at the sink area at the same time because it's very tight. The good thing is that there aren't many guests at the same time going into the shower area, so at least you have some space to yourselves. Overall, it's not too bad considering the price, but I suggest going to check out the shower area first and figure out how you're going to deal with its tiny-ness when you go take a shower.

    The whole place is very clean - you see people cleaning at almost all ours of the day! The lobby is very bright and there is a nice breakfast area, as well as another area to hang out. The rooms are also quite bright with large windows letting in light. The bed itself is comfortable, and you get your own locker which is a good size and it has a keypad lock (so no need to bring your own padlock). The staff are also very friendly and helpful. They made the stay extra nice. The location is also great. There are a lot of local restaurants, international restaurants, cafeterias. The beach is only a short walk away.

    Not the properties fault but someone in my bunk was ringing a friend to come round an giving him the code to the front door entrance and his room code to come in. I think maybe key cards opposed to codes may be a better way to avoid this.

    Very clean, modern and comfortable and mainly very safe. Facilities and staff were great. First time ever staying in a hostel and i was impressed and definitely return.

    Very near to the beach ( mar bella) There is a metro near, and a store for some convenience on the corner. I arrived in Barcelona very late, I took the aerobus from the airport (paid 12,50euros return) and and I took a free now from placa de Catalunya . I paid around 13 euros for this taxi . I missed that information so I am sharing in case someone needs.. the breakfast is amazing! Staff are very very kind!

    The windows are supposed to stay closed becuase of mosquitos which makes sense but the room temp is controlled by staff and when asked about lowering the temperature I was met with disagreement that they can only get it to blow more air and set it to cold which done nothing really.

    It´s a hostel, your sleep depends on how noisy your neighbours want to be which is difficult but the beds were comfy, nothing wrong there. There are storage lockers under the beds with a code combination locks so you don´t have to worry about loosing a key or something. The rooms are also The rooms are quiet meaning you don´t hear any noise from the outside which is good. The bathroom facilities are getting cleaned all the time so they were spotless whenever we needed them. The breakfast was lovely - everything you might need (toast, ham, cheese, jam, hummus, vegetables, fruits etc.) and you can even get a nice coffee and a croissant.

    Check in was just a little confusing - the front door only opens with a code, but you can buzz to be let in. I didn't see the buzzer at first, so I downloaded the app, GOKI, to try and check in with not much success. Ended up being spotted by the staff and was let in.

    Very friendly staff, breakfast is good with quite a few options. Room was clean, and the bed was comfortable enough - pretty much what you'd expect from a hostel bed. The beds have curtains (which is definitely appreciated!) and there are outlets and lights in the bunks. The hostel organizes events most days which is really nice, although I didn't have a chance to participate. The location is great! It's a short walk from the beach with some very tasty restaurants nearby, along with lots of shops for pretty much anything you need. The metro is also decently close. Once checked in, the GOKI app lets you unlock the front door and room door via Bluetooth which was pretty nifty. Lots of bathrooms and showers available (although the showers are quite small). There's also laundry on site, and towels available for a small charge.

    The room I stayed in was very small - while the bed size was average and locker size was very good, the lack of actual floor space to move around makes it very awkward to do anything (pack up, get something out of your locker) with six people in the room. There was also quite a loud boiler or generator next to the room

    Very bright and well equipped; friendly and helpful staff. Good privacy with curtain for bed, proper separate lockable stalls for the showers etc

    The personnel of Jacobs inn Barcelona made a mistake and informed booking.com that I didn’t stay at this place so booking.com didn’t count my booking for Genius program and in my booking.com profile it is still written that I didn’t stay at this place but I did.

    The place is a bit off the main centre, but easy enough to reach when the subways are running.

    Perfect for a night's stay. Very friendly atmosphere, good facilities and bunks with privacy curtains; plus I liked the private lockers. The atmosphere was quiet, and it was no problem getting a good night's sleep.

    Really nothing but there is a small space between the wall and the mattress so the billow still sink inside it but as i said its nothing

    This was my first time to book a hostel, but i didn't feel for a moment that I'am out side of my house, the stuff was amazing and they take care seriously of all our requests and questions, a kind girl from the stuff(unfortunately i forgot her name) help me with my charger. The facilities are clean and modern, the kitchen was great for cooking and they have a very tasty esspresso. Thank you.
