This place is the absolute best hostel in Barcelona. It is incredibly easy to meet people and make friends and the staff is always ready to tell you anything you want to know. You can't beat the location either. All around awesome experience.

Hi, a clean hostel with friendly staff and a good location. The guest accept, that it is not a party hostel but a very fiendly hostel. For me, it was a great place, to experience the City and yhe area around.

Thanks for it and have a great time ;-)

The Alternative Creative Youth Home is the best youth home I have been at and I recommend it to everyone. People might say that it is more expensive than other youth homes but for the services you get it is really worth it.

The people there are very nice and do everything to please you. They even gave me all the best things to do and the places to go in Barcelona which helped me a lot ;)

Thanks for everything

Is quit expensive hostel. They charge for everything. We got charget for sheets 2.5 EUR and for leaving the bags 3 EUR (and just till 22). The rooms have no privacy because the doors have no lockers. The rest was ok. Excelent location.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Perfect location right across the plaza from where the aerobus drops you off. But, a few hidden costs...holding fee, blanket fee, towel..etc

This Hostel is in a perfect location. Middle in Catalunya where the trouble is :-)

The staff ist very friendly. Cost & performance ratio ist good. Close-by a superstore with cheap prices. Only the washbasin is to small :-)

All in all a great Hostel!

Location's superb, 3 mins walk from Catalunya metro at La Ramblas, 24-hr staff's very helpful with itinerary suggestions and maps. Rooms & shared toilets are clean, kitchen's very small but adequate, they sell 1.5l water just for 1 euro. Only downsides are that we have to pay for bedsheets (2.5euro), leaving luggage til 10pm (3euro), and no breakfast, while we had all three for free in other hostels we stayed in Vienna & Bergamo.

Very clean and nice hostel where I felt really welcome! The owner really wants you to have a good time in Barcelona and gives lots of advise on what to do. Bad things were that it was quite cold, the showers weren't always warm and that smoking was allowed in the lounge. But don't let that put you off, it's a really good hostel!

Al is the manager of the places and is the best doing so.

This is the best hostel I've ever been to. It is a short walking distance from Las Ramblas (the centre of town), it was always very clean, and the staff was very personable. Best of all, there was a really friendly and social atmosphere. Great for anyone travelling alone and looking to make new friends in Barcelona.

This is a great little hostel right in the centre of Barcelona. It is easy to get around on foot from here and right near a metro station.

Even though it is small it is very social. It has a big colourful common room where everyone hangs out.

The staff are really friendly and helpful.

The bunk beds are comfortable and the place it clean. I had a great time here, I highly recommend this place!
