  : This is superb hostel, located less than 10 min walk from Passeig de Grcia (train+subway stations) for a very fair price. Since it is a one star hostel, don't expect to much, but in my opinion, rather it is in level with a two star hotel. It is located on the first floor of the building (with elevator) and having just a few rooms. For a couple of nights stay, room #8 has a just fine size. The bed was alright. First I felt it a bit soft compared to what I'm used to, but then had no problems at all to sleep well in it. The room was very quiet with window towards the inner yard, and a big, private terass. There is a table with two (a bit unstable) chairs, where we ate breakfast, in the morning sun. Nice!! There is a big TV screen and a refrigerator in the room, which otherwise has simple but practical furniture. For persons with allergy to dust it is important to know that there is NO carpeting at all in the room, which indeed was really clean. Bathroom is also OK. The whole facility is renewated around some (my guess) 5-10 years ago, situated in a building from late 19 century. Took a bit time to find out which of the 3 keys, (portal, hostel, room) goes to resp. door. A very nice and friendly english speaking guy works at the reception, which is only partly open during daytime. But it is possible to reach him on WhatsApp and get help in notime if you have any question or arrive outside reception hours. At the reception desk, you also find the water boiler and iron, which are free to borrow.
  : The garden furniture (specially chairs) are unstable. Just two AC-outlet (one at each bedside). Would be practical with one/two more for boiling tea or ironing, while the cellphones ar charging. Well, TV and refrigerator had their own outlet too, but I didn't bother me to try using those.
