This was too cramped for 3 teens and an adult. No kettle or fridge and we could hear the neighbours all night. Location and staff were fantastic but it is probably more suited to party people rather than families.

Small room, but given the location it was reasonable. The person at the front desk helped carry our suitcases up, and also when we checked out they carried them back down. Evan I think was there for our check in and was extremely welcoming. Gave us a rundown of the city and what is worth seeing. Great hospitality. Overall our stay was good~

Conveniently Located
The hostel is located directly off La Ramblas, making it very convenient to go out and explore the city, either by walking or by public transportation. The private room was clean, but the shower and bathroom were quite small. The door to the bathroom was frosted glass, so privacy was a bit of an issue.
