very nice and cosy place, here you can feel yourself like real Catalunyan, you wake up, go to make yourself some food in very comfortable and well furnitured kitchen, after you can sit on small and very nice balconies and enjoy a view on everyday life of spanish people.

Rooms are clean, bathrooms and toilets also. Location of hostel is in 5-7 minutes from the beach. Las Ramblas street is in 2 min, placa de Catalunya if go by step is in 15-20 min.

If you choose this hostel, you will enjoy being in Barcelona :)

was recommended by friends and have recommended others..a friendly ,comfortable hostel in a great location. My only small gripe was how difficult it was to contact reception!

I could recommend this hostel because of the low price in relation to the location and the cleaning standards- there is one big disadvantage though: imagine someone "checking on you" in the middle of the night, coming into your room, turning on the light- a "night visit" of a male crew member to female guests... I didn't feel like a guest there, rather like an intruder. You like being unexpectedly controlled? No privacy? Then you'll like there very much! Recommended for lonely people with a passion for "a midnight thrill"...

Unfortunately I must say, that hostel BLUE is a total mistake. Theoretically (from my experience) it doesn't exist. It is all based just on few rooms in tenement house. There's no information about it and how to get to it on the street and the building. After a long time of searching, I finally got to some next-door hostel. There, its owner told me that my reservation cannot be finalised, becouse the owner of Blue is sick and absent. Instead of our fully fitted four-person room which we saw and booked in the Internet, he offered us two two-person rooms with just a bare bads inside, which were normally more expensive than ours. All I could do in such a situation was to resign, what caused that I spent that night on the airport. SO IF YOU LOOK FOR SOME SURE ACCOMODATION WITH NICE CONDITIONS - DON'T CHOOSE BLUE HOSTEL. DESCRIPTION IN THE INTERNET IS NOT RELIABLE.

The Blue Hostell can in many ways be considerd as very good. Clean and nice rooms (except one smaller room without window!). It is very well located near the port and Ramblas (about 500m). The Hostell-manager is very enthusiastic and helpful with good advise and tips!!!

beautiful old stylish house/appartment with kitchen and two shared bathrooms.Cosy neighbourhood, everything near. A small sleeping room with noisy windows (on court), but other rooms were more silent and with fresh air.

very good tourist info by thomas!

Very comfy and cheap. The only disadvantage: we stayed on the fourth floor and there's no elevator. For the rest: we were satisfied.

A very nice location, near almost every important location. Good staff, very nice person in contact.Rooms are thin-walled, so can be noisy, also from the streets, so get your earplugs with you. But nice in every other way! recommended!

I don't care about all this rating as my stay in this hostel /thanks God just for 1 night/ was horrible. No lift till the fifth floor /and terrible with the luggage/. The reservation in advance wasn't kept. Extremely cold during the night as the heating in my room wasn't working & it was minus outside. No administrator in the late evening to tell about this problem or change the room. No breakfast. Just the worst place I've ever visited /and I travel a lot/.

Thomas was very welcoming and gave us several useful advices about the sightseeings and the places to go (restaurants, bars, ect).

The whole place was a 100% clean and the bathrooms are modern and very clean.

The hostel is located in a good area, very close to the city center or other facilities.

It's a place i would recommend.

This is a great hostel for people who want to get to know the real Barcelona. Besides all the well-known tourist-spots, the host provides you with great hints on where to go, where to eat and what to see. We had an absolutely amazing stay. M&S

Verry nice place, good rooms, good service,verry nice building.The only thing was that there was no sing that told us where the hostel was, so we had to look hard for it. There were also a LOT of stairs, but we didn't mind that after relaxing in the room.

We weren't looking for a hostel with a loud packed common room so the "fun factor" wasn't an issue for us. But it is not for those who want to meet people.

For those who want a VERY nice place with a VERY nice staff, kitchen, rooms, atmosphere, location, showers, beds, everything THIS IS A GREAT PLACE!!!!

Some of our group is going back to Barcelona in a few weeks and they will DEFINITELY stay there. Whenever I go back I will too!

Great location near the port and centre but not too close to be too noisy, lots of reasonably priced bars/places to eat nearby. Very friendly and personal vibe in the hostel, kitchen was well equipped with tea, coffee, condiments..felt very homely. Walls were very thin but overall great value!

I really like this hostel! I stayed there twice: fisrt time in a doublebed room, and second time in a twin beds room. Both stay are great. The doublebed room is very spacious and the bed is really good. The twin bed room is smaller, but you will find not just beds but some space. The location is excellent. It is near both the port and la ramblas (less than 5 mins walk!)The staff are excellent too. They are so helpful and friendly. And last, i really like that 2 piece of chocolate I found on the bed when I first entered the rooms:)
