Only good thing about this hostel was the location. It REAKED of smoke and filth. There is a no smoking sign in the lobby and the desk worker was literally smoking a cig behind the desk. Wifi didn't work at all in the back room. Didn't see another guest under the age of 50.

All rounded nice location and nice hostel. Only problem wise, wi-fi coverage is limited to just around the reception. The staff can't understand English but they try very hard.

Was not modern but clean and the staff were really friendly !

Unfortunately they did not speak English at all but if you want a cheap accommodation close to the sea this will be a good place to stay.

The room I booked was fine at least it met my expectations. Unfortunately, it had a serious bed-bugs infestation which ruined the experience. The staff definitely need more training as far as costumer service skills are concerned.

My experience from staying one night in room #6: air condition not working, wifi not available (need to be closer to reception), staff not speaking English. This was our third visit to Miramar, the worst one. I am not sure we come back there. What can make us coming back is the very good location.

Pretty nice, location is indeed good [not excellent]. But there is no hot water [even in receptionist] for drink. They should provide at least one water dispenser near the reception desk. The shower also not so good [something wrong with its temperature]. But with the given price, it's still worth it.

Very basic but worth the money. It was extremely hot and there was no air con so had to sleep with the windows and doors open which was very noisy apart from that excellent stay. On a budget I would stay here again.

I highly recommend this hostel for its position near the sea and the historic center of Barcelona. The staff is very kind and helps you with everything you need. Rooms are clean and it's the best price for private bathroom.

Perfect location to main atractions, very clean accomodation and nice helpfull staff - value for money. One should notice that rooms are very small and if you need to park your car on nearby streets you need to weak up at 8 a.m. even on Sunday to pay for parking.

Very cool hostel in a great place! Close to the beach and many attractions of Barcelona, has air conditioning and everything you'd need ;) The staff is very friendly, some of them don't speak English but with basic Spanish it's not a problem! (most of them do speak English though, and even Polish :D). And there's a great tapas bar opposite the street!

It is the worst hostel I have ever visited in Europe.

Disadvantages:

- Receptionist smokes in the reception even though it is not allowed to smoke.

- Receptionist and his friends were very loudly up to 1.30 am (just once).

- Internet was working badly and just 50% of the total time.

- No single kettle in the whole hostel! They said that I can boil water in microwave.

- On the website is written that they have bike rental. It is just rental company very close to hostel.

- Shower (with plastic curtain) extremely close to toilet

- Beds should be changed many years ago. We had pain in back each morning. Whole room needs renovation. It is really depressing.

Advantage

+ Good location.

+ Receptionist borrow us good guide book when it was no internet.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The place was clean. The position is more than perfect!

There was only a problem with the water - it was too hot or too cold - it was not possible to achieve a normal temperature of the water in the bathroom:(

realy close to the port (+) ca.3minutes, really close to the underground (+) ca. 5 minutes, silence during night (+), window-view? - on the wall building on the other side of the street (about 2m), ca.10minutes to Rambla (+) so not to close, not to far. really small room with shower inside the room and toilet next door (in room), bed banded with the dottape ;) not so easy to talk with portier in english (espaniola espaniol si segnioer itp), but... ;) room old, small, but clean. for me- good value for good price (I'm from Poland - for 3 nights I payed ca.150euro, double bed and shower inclusiv)

This place is a dump. I don't know how else to say it. It looks and feels like a dump. I moved to another place immediately and for the same price I got a free breakfast and the place was 2-3 times as nice. The staff was very friendly.

despite very good position of this hostel, and friendly staff, i wont stay in this hostel if i have to stay another time in Barcelona. the shower in my room was not working well, and i told them after first night, but they didnt fix it. so until at the end of every nice day in Barcelona i had a terrible experience struggling with shower. this was the only problem with the hostel but was super annoying and enough for never again.

The location is perfect, short walking distance away from numerous places and there are couple of metrostations nearby.

This hostel was much cleaner than I had expected. Amazing location.. right on the water. However, I wasn't happy that they advertised wifi and AC because there was no AC and only the wifi in the lobby.

Since returning from the hostel my husband must hava at least 20 mites all over his body and I have at least 10. WE think this was due to the bed we were sleeping on and suggest thet bedroom n0 3 is looked at. We really have enjoyed being in that location but the bites have put us off thinking of using this hostel again.
The owner's reply
we have air condition in all our rooms.If you open the balcony door at night some mosquitoes may come into the room.And this is what hapenned,you left the balcony door opened at night.
