Good location, around 10-15 mins to the popular places. A restaurant next to the hotel. A kitchen with full facility you can use. Limited space in the room and sound proof not very good that you can feel and hear as the neighbor hit on the wall which like made of wood

I was excited about staying at a hostal for the first time. We were a large group and requested private bathrooms with our accommodations. The shower had mold (I have asthma-not a good combination). The mattress protectors were charcoal grey (I like white, so I can see any dirt) and one has to make your own bed. Lots of rules in place, which I was fine with. The only rule I was not comfortable with was the one that stated they can go in your room any time. I had nice jewelry in my belongings, so I’m not comfortable with people walking in my room when I’m not there. Overall, it was not terrible, just dirty. I would not stay there again.

Nice stay and suitable for families

Family of 4 staying for 1 night. Obviously this hostel is more targeted at younger travellers who are used to basic hostel facilities but nevertheless the stay was pleasant and offered almost everything we needed as a family with young kids. Most importantly it was spotlessly clean, in a good location, and a good price compared to many other places in Barcelona. Breakfast offer was cheap and decent to start the day. The roof terrace was fantastic with brilliant views of the surrounding area. Minor grumbles would be the need to buy towels and the push button on the sink tap with no temperature control but I appreciate this is pretty standard in many hostels and I can understand the logic so it wasn’t a massive issue. The free lockers after we checked out were really helpful as we had later flights so had some time to kill during the day we were leaving. All in all I would say it was a great stay and suitable for families of all ages as long as you manage your expectations.

Mediocre at best

It does the job as far as a hostel goes, but isn't a pleasant overall experience. Room when we got there wasn't clean and there was sand encrusted all over the floor. Air conditioning for our room didn't work at all the whole weekend even though it is advertised online and in a placard in the room. The real issue was the two guys at the front desk were so unbelievably rude to some of us, one of them making fun of us when we had an issue and just being overall unhelpful. If you can find another place to stay, do it. This place isn't great.

Ok for a hostel not a hotel.

This is a hostel not a hotel. Set your expectations accordingly. Towel “rental” costs $4 a piece extra. Sheets are provided but you make your own bed with the provided sheets. No soap, no shampoo. Shower is a gym style shower that turns off every 17 seconds so you have to constantly press the shower button every few seconds to keep it from turning off. Didn’t apply to us because we rented an entire room but they did have individual lockers that opened with your room key if you were renting just a single bed in a multibed room. Also, had a nice common area on the roof. Would recommend as a hostel but probably not as a hotel. We were traveling with 4 people though and there are not that many 4 person hotel rooms available in the area.

I wouldn't not recommend to anyone. This was the worst night I have in a hotel for me and my family. Let's begin. First you get to the hotel room go to the restroom and the trash can completed full of garbage and not clean. Listen to this. You have to make your own bed because is just a mattress and just be informed you want to take a shower you have to rent the towel. Yes rent a towel? Are you serious . Yes that's the way this hotel work. No Soap no towel "YOU HAVE TO BUY EVERYTHING. It wasn't cheap . It cost me more than 400 Euro for two closet sized rooms. One night and really far away from airport.Let's Continue. They claim eco-friendly because they said they put new UV filter. None of the rooms you can't feel the AC. No microwave or TV in the rooms. All the noise from the outside you can hear it. They claim have free internet but i wasn't able to connect to the internet.Rooms extremely narrow no place to put your stuff. If you want to ruin your vacation go this place and you will see what I said here.

Hostel conditions; hotel prices. Not best location

Very nice front desk staff. Helpful. Always available. 24/7. Many places on hotels.com as hotel options had limited check-in hours and didn’t have 24-7 staff. We needed flexibility. The area has lots of sites under construction and there was a lot of dust blowing sometimes which actually caused an eye issue for one of us. You can walk from here during the day but the streets are very empty and many buildings seem always shuttered or are shuttered with graffitied shutters down weekends or after hours. It’s not a vibrant restaurant social area so be careful and walk with someone. We felt better taking taxis after dusk. on weekends and after business hours as b Very expensive. €200+ for a 4 bunk family room per night (it was busy tourist season so it’s cheaper other times). They try to get extra money off you at any excuse. €4 per little towel; €6 per bag to hold a bag overnight; €1.30 in vending machine for water that’s €1 in machines elsewhere. No shampoo. Broken furniture. No coffee tea for sale or available except they can sell it to you during breakfast hours for €1.70. Big fridge in shared kitchen was not keeping food cold. Fridge wasn’t available for 12+ hours another day. The reason we had booked this place was for kitchen access as a family member has allergies and needed fridge access for special food.

Hotel in Twentytu in Barcelona

Hotel doesn't offer towels or soap you have to pay extra for it, lots of mosquitos in the lobby, lights wouldn't turn on after hours in my room, shower faucet had to be turn ON every 5 seconds, the Hotel itself is located in the hood, hotel has no standard rules, there was a man without shoes and shirt in the lobby as if he was at the beach, we asked a staff person for a restaurant near by and she said there was non but later we find out there was one in the same street next block. There were homeless leaving right next to the hotel, my family felt threaten by this. I truly hope Hotels.com reads this comments and remove this place from its website. No one should go thru this. Luckily it was only 1 night. The attached picture is right next to the hotel

Great experience!

We booked TwentyTú Hostel at the last minute because we missed a night of our trip.... and then we didn't want to leave to go to our other accommodations! The rooftop common area was beautiful (day and night) and we didn't experience any crowding in the times we used it. The downstairs common room was well furnished, complete with different areas and decorative walls. There is space to cook, store, and eat your own food as well. As a "green" hostel, the most annoying thing was the lights and water on timers in the bathrooms in order to save on electricity and water waste- but even that was for good reason. The space felt a little small for four people but it encouraged use of the common areas. The locker space was efficient and there were even drawers underneath our bunks for bonus storage. The receptionist when we checked in picked up on a little bit of Spanish mixed in with our English and offered to explain details in Spanish to help us practice (while still making sure everything made sense). We loved our stay at the TwentyTú Hostel and would definitely come stay here again!
