The hostel was cleaned daily. But the bathroom got dirty very quickly and it was quite unpleasant to use it.

The rest was very good, very nice and helpful staff and the rooms were good and clean.

Hostel Hip Karma was such a nice background to my Barcelona visit! Exactly what I would have wished from a hostel for a not so young single traveller: quite nights, good facilities (kitchen use, internet acces, space for my stuff in the room, bed quality, cleanliness) with good location). I was happy to choose it, and stay here again in Barcelona.

The hostal is new and very nice. It is presented as a non-alcoholic, but in reality nobody cares, so there were some people drunk and making noise during our stay. They clean in the morning, so in the evening the showers are not superclean. Also, bed linen and towels are not provided if you don!t pay for it. The location is excellent and everything is new and nice. Can recommend it.

So far the best hostel i have stayed.

Super clean , free internet, security, great location and the staffs( Bruno and Alex ) are really friendly and helpful. The prices are really good as well

Bruno is wonderful.

Alex is just lovely!

Marcelo was polite and helpful.

We felt at home straight away, the beds are lovely and the duvets are "quite lovely."

One thing I would say is that the showers are see-through, so there's no room to be body conscious, and also there is no bar and no real communal area at night time - however this is meant to be the sleeping hostel.

It is very fun and we extended our stay by 5 days.

It´s a very good hostel. You get your money's worth. Even if you sleep in the biggest dorms with 12 people, you don't really notice them, (unless you want to), and every bed has curtains so you can sleep in a dark when the light is on in the room.

Also the fact that you don't have to have a key, but just get buzzed in every time is a nice feature.

Hip Karma hostel was very clean and the staff spoke English, which I found very helpful. The night staff where very friendly, they where young and knew of some of the cool night spots to go too. I will come back again. The other backpackers who stayed here where great. Overall I enjoyed my stay.

The hostel is absolutely amazing, it is like a palace, absolutely beautiful,spacious and clean all the time.

Free internet access made trying to find the sites a lot easier and keeping in contact with home a whole lot cheaper as well!

The position is really good to get to all the main sights and the staff are more then happy to point you in the right direction or tell you which bus to get.

I would recommend this hostel to anyone who wants to see the sights and relax on beach in day and go to bars and clubs at night as it is in an excellent location.

I loved it here and am very sad to be leaving!

Love you all :)

Gracias!

I absolutely could not believe how peaceful and brand-new this place was when I arrived! I was skeptical at first, but I was extremely satisfied with the quality of very nice staffs and this place including perfect kitchen; especially for the price! They say that they are looking to win long-term customers... Well, they've got one here!

This was the cleanest and most pleasant hostel I have ever stayed at. Tastefully decorated, quiet, very clean and in a charming location. Not the place to choose if you want a big hostel with a common room// aka good chances to meet new people. but if you want calm, cleanliness and privacy, this is the perfect place.

It was beautiful and clean hostel. Location was great, but it was difficult to find it, because there are no signs. I didn't like some rules: Can't use kitchen after 10 pm, can't use internet after 10 pm, can't use showers after 10 pm. Most of the staff was very friendly, especially I liked Oliver :) They were accommodative and always helped us when we had questions. Hostel is clean and kitchen is comfortable with all the things you might need. The beds with curtains were superb! In conclusion it was a nice place :)

HIP KARMA is a great hostel, situated in a very convenient place in Barcelona. It's 5-10 min. walk to Arc de Triof and a Central Bus station. There is a supermarket and metro in few steps. The staff is very helpful, so do not hesitate to ask them for help. Rooms are very tidy and clean, so we were surprised a lot. Definitely would come back! -LTU-

It was very clean and the rooms were real nice. The kitchen can be used for cooking and there are all the tools to do that in the kitchen. The only thing is that you do need to keep quiet and there are times as to when you can shower and when you can be in the hostal. I would recommend this place. It was great!
