The staff were very friendly from start to finish. The room was basic but great and very clean as was the toilet and shower. Stayed with my Son for a 3 night stay. Right in the centre at Liceu, close to everything. Great value for money. Would definitely recommend it.

Disliked: Amenities
The price was acceptable. It is only a block from a main street with restaurants, entertainment, and transpartation. It opens on to a back alley and you have to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to the office and then another flight to the rooms.

If you are a woman this is hostel is a NO. There are safety issues with the bathrooms you can be seen from several places while taking a shower and peeing. They have a broken window they refuse to fix. I had to upload a video of the whole thing. The attedant is nice and tried to fix the window but the blonde supervisor actually dismissed my concern stating no one lives in the other floors when i actually saw them and there's laundry in their balconies. Also getting up there with bags is hard they don't have anyone to help you. The doors don't lock properly very weird locks they have. I had to shower in upstairs in a very small shower i almost fell. Everything seems very clean but run down. Not sure why they don't make these repairs. It would save you these bad reviews. I left at dawn i didn't feel safe at all.

Rude and not accommodating
The accommodations we not what we expected and had to find a new place to stay. The advertisement online to book did not state “all steps” “no elevator” no air conditioning” I would like a REFUND and asked the owner he refused and now I will have my cc company handle this.

I wish there was an elevator because I had heavy big luggage and the hostal is located on the 2nd floor and my room is on the 3rd floor. BUT THE SERVICE AND THE HOSTEL ITSELF IS EXCELLENT!

Fiquei em quarto solo, apenas compartilhando o banheiro, que estava sempre limpo e tambem vazio. De modo geral, é um hostel na media, uma boa opção de custo beneficio pois a localização é a melhor possível. Nao tem ar-condicionado. Mas pelo menos no quarto disponibilizaram um ventilador pequeno que me atendeu bem.
