My stay was extremely short, due to overnight layover. Proximity to the Airport is a plus, a 15 min walk to hostel from nearest metro (subway) station. Neighborhood is clean and had a safe feel even as I walked through it around 10 PM. The facility is a bit dated, with resonant acoustics but within acceptable sanitary standards. There is an ourdoor yard with bar stand of sorts. I encountered a black rat while making a phone call in the yard at night. I understand they are commonplace in many cities, but as I am not too fond of them to say the least, the factor was a major spoiler. Breakfast area is shared with small common room, comprised of fireplace, two sofas and some chairs as well as ceiling high shelves filled with books. Breakfast was simple (milk, cereal, variety of juices, apples) but offered a good start for the day. If having to stay overnight again, I may consider this place but only if no other comparable (price wise and amenities wise) options are available. If you are not too demanding this hostel offers a quiet and safe environment during your stay in Barcelona
