Hostelle Barcelona — Hotel in Barcelona

I have only stayed here for three nights and four-ish days [ 26th - 29th ] and is my first ever solo trip while almost first time staying in a Hostel. I found this Hostelle and immediately took it because it’s an All-Women’s Hostelle. I had a bit of trouble on my first night regarding my room, however, it was resolved very quickly by the front desk. The rooms are nice and colour coded. The curtains a nice way of privacy! By the way, there is 20 beds in each room. I stayed in Yellow and I would say I’m very comfortable with the bed I was assigned to. In each bed, you get an outlet with two usb socket, a light and a small shelf. You have a very small locker underneath the bed, I suggest getting a small padlock but I didn’t but none of my stuff was taken, even though it mainly food throughout the stay. You would of course either get the top or bottom bunk. If noise is ever a bother, there is earplugs at the front desk! The bathroom as clean as it can get. It wasn’t dirty or anything like that. Except for a few strands of hair here and there but can’t really be helped since I sometimes shed. On each floor, there is two toilets and two showers. There is also four sinks as well! There is a hair dryer and hand soap by the sink. There is quite a few amenities! There is considerable sized kitchen with an island. There is a microwave, toaster(?), oven and many utensils. However, the fridge is often stocked full but that wasn’t too much of a bother to me. There is a tiny area for coffee and tea. Basement, there is a small gym and a TV with Netflix, however, I wasn’t watching anything but ‘The Witcher’ was on. There is also an iron and iron board, luggage room and also a corner for board games in the Basement. There is a nice rooftop terrace that I checked just for a bit which was nice. Any other items you can buy is right by the whiteboard of events. I have only stayed for a short while but there are events on each and every week on the board. I only participated in one event which was Clay and Sangria Night which encourages everyone to mingle and talk which is good! I enjoyed the events. Just so you know, so far that I know of, the event nights are free so Sangria and Clay, Paint etc. The location of the Hostelle is really good! It is literally a minute or two away from the Metro line, L4. With a couple of shops around, however, I didn’t go in any. But I did notice there is a Dominos across the street and a KFC somewhere close by. The city centre is about 30 minutes away on the metro along with a bit of a walk. Which I don’t find annoying due to where I’m from, the city centre was about an hour away. I honestly enjoyed this first experience and made a few memories here. But I am glad I tried something new...

As two young girls traveling a lot- this is the safest we’ve felt in any accommodation! This is our first time in women only hostel and it couldn’t be any better. This one has everything: safety- you can only enter if you have a code to the door or if the staff lets you in, every member of the staff is a woman, atmosphere- the girls at the reception are very welcoming, helpful and friendly, the hostel holds events every few days, like pizza night or beer pong- very helpful if you’re traveling alone and need some company, want to meet new people! The interior is really cute, there’s gym, make up spaces, spaces for remote work on your laptop, common area to hang out, watch tv, play games, kitchen, room to store your luggage and an amazing rooftop! Bathrooms are nice and clean, comfy showers with good water pressure! Finally a place where I could wash my long hair without discomfort! you can buy towels for 3 euros. Beds are quite comfy, there’s a lot of people in a room, so I understand some people may complain about snoring or noise, however we didn’t experience that. It could be nice if there would be more storage space. It’s little bit far from city center (but for us, it’s a positive thing, since it’s safe and quiet neighborhood), but there’s a metro station 2 mins away and you can get to city center in 15 mins. Overall, highly recommend! It’s also affordable. Perfect for female...

From check-in to check-out , you feel like you are annoying the staff at the reception. No place to store our luggages, not even one drawer. All you have is a TINY locker in wich only your purse will fit. The girls in the room : absolutely NO respect for their surrounding. The lights will close at 2am, they will listen to movie and talk on the phone WITHOUT earphones during the night. Noise : Girls in the dorm (during my stay) SNORED and talk loudly when they come back from going out at 4am. DIRTY: when I arrived, filthy shoes were in the bathroom sink, waiting to be cleaned. The room SMELLED like humidity. Everything in the kitchen was so dirty, I had to go over to my friends place to use her kitchen instead. OTHER GUESS: the girl sleeping in the bed on top of mine smelled like hadn’t have a shower in a WEEK. The smell was so foul it kept me up at night and I had to sleep with a towel on my face because of how disgusting the smell was. DISTANCE: be ready to do 50 minutes of metro every time you wanna go downtown. :) HIDDEN FEE: be ready to pay 45eu/guess because of some city tax. Overall: would not recommend, I have seen WAY better hostel...
