Wow Hostel Barcelona

The cleanliness wasn't up to a good expectation, hairs all over the bed and the room didn't get cleaned/tided throughout our stay. Also the security was worrying, the main front door (that led to the main road) didn't lock and was open all the time which meant anyone could walk in. The PIN code which lead to room one on 7th floor had rubbed off numbers which quite frankly just gave away the pin to access this area which then made us feel uncomfortable leaving our personal belongs in the room as the code was very easy to guess it and just walk in!! All though each door had its own key I did overall I feel generally un safe while staying here and wouldn't feel comfortable enough saying again. However staff were fantastic and very helpful as it was our first trip to Barcelona which led to them having a lot of useful tips to give us.

The staff were very friendly and always ready to help. The kitchen has everything you need and ,contrary to what you see on some reviews, it was always clean! The room was big enough but the mattress was a bit unconfortable. Also, the painting from the walls were peeling off and that gave us a bad impression at the begining. The location is perfect since you can move to everywhere by bus, metro or even walking a couple of minutes and you have a lot of supermarkets and restaurants close to it.

The staff has been helpful but I wouldn't return in this hostel. The general level of cleaning and maintenance is very low: the kitchen and its utensils are so dirty and broken that they cannot be used; the bathrooms are gross and even the bed sheets were stained... Furthermore I had a room with a window that gave onto a very dirty and dusty patio from which a terrible smell of fried fish came inside at all times. It was impossible to keep the window open.

Das Hotel hat eine relativ gute Lage, was praktisch für die Erkundung von Barcelona ist. Allerdings gibt es einige gravierende Mängel, die meinen Aufenthalt sehr beeinträchtigt haben. Die Zimmer sind extrem klein und bieten kaum Platz, um sich zu bewegen oder Gepäck zu verstauen. Die Betten sind äußerst ungemütlich, was zu schlechten Nächten und Rückenschmerzen führte. Das Gemeinschaftsbad war leider nicht sauber, was den Gesamteindruck zusätzlich negativ beeinflusst hat. Besonders enttäuschend war, dass die Zimmer überhaupt nicht so aussahen wie auf den Bildern im Internet. Die Fotos scheinen stark geschönt zu sein und vermitteln einen falschen Eindruck von Größe und Komfort der Räume. Insgesamt hat der Aufenthalt nicht meinen Erwartungen entsprochen. Die Kombination aus den winzigen Zimmern, den unbequemen Betten und dem unsauberen Gemeinschaftsbad macht es schwer, dieses Hotel weiterzuempfehlen, trotz der guten Lage. Hier muss dringend nachgebessert werden, um den Gästen einen angenehmen Aufenthalt zu ermöglichen.

Prende punti perché si trova in un’ottima posizione e perché ho trovato il letto abbastanza comodo, ma ne perde molti altri per la pulizia.. Appena si entra in camera lo si nota subito, polvere e capelli praticamente ovunque. Per non parlare della doccia, una pressione dell’acqua molto molto bassa. Sinceramente non ci tornerei
