Overall, it was fine. Fairly clean, a certain no-frills charm. The free breakfast wasn't much -- packaged mini croissants and hard-boiled eggs. The staff was terrific.

The Buba Hostel is located near to the "Rambla" but a walk in the old town requires about 30 min. Our double room was very neat and clean. Shared bathrooms were cleaned every day. The people at the reception were very nice though not very well informed about attractions and how to get there. Breakfast was very simple consisting manly of toast and cornflakes. All over it was a very pleasant stay and we would book it again.

Buba house is a great place if all u want to do is sleep. There isn't really a place to just chill out but the location is great and the staff are awesome!

All the feeling is sooo good!!!

The room is warm also.

there is only one thing which I think can be improve is shower water. Because the warm water is not stable.

We stayed in a private room with a double bed and were really impressed throughout our time at Buba. The staff were exceptionally friendly, the bed was great, the bathroom was fine, it´s very safe and the location is fairly ideal. The one thing to point out is that there are quite a few cars driving past the windows 24 hours a day so if you´re a light sleeper bring earplugs!

This is the best hostel I've ever stayed in! Staffs are well in English, I can use Wi-Fi in free and they also have a PC which we can use Internet freely. They also have a good breakfast, it is included in the price. And after I checked out, they allowed me to use all facilities except room in free! I really wanna recommand this hostel.

Now this is a hostel! Very friendly, nice people, very much a home away from home. They're still doing some maintainance to make it even better. I'll surely go back again. I slept in the dorm and in a private room. Both were very adequate for a hostel. The location is really wonderful, although the street is a bit noisy, but who cares? When you feel at home, that is the most important thing right? No need to look further, just go to Buba!!

I would recommend this hostel to everyone who wants to find his home away home at a right price. The staff leaves you the keys when you arrive, so you can come back when you wish at night.Super-kind staff, unbeatable position(a few steps from the tube station, one block far from Casa Batillò), always clean shared-bathroom and kitchen, free hot shower and hair dryer. good breakfast too. Mi casa es tu casa! wonderful!

Buba House was the best choice for accomodation in Barcelona for us. Perfect location (we went to all interesting Barcelona's places by feet), really cheap,I didn't expect that breakfast will be included, so it was nice surprise. Staff very helpful and kind, we felt like at home. I'll come back to Buba for sure!!:)

location close to the center, free internet and also free wifi are great. also the fact that there is no rush on day of check out. but: not flexible enought to print me out 5 pages although I offered to pay, but ok its not a copy shop.. all in all a very nice place where you get easily in touch with the other "flatmates"

It was fantastic to stay there.

Especially the staffs were really nice.

the only uncomfortable thing is the noise from outside of the window, but it's not the hostel's fault. It's Barcelona's^^
