This hostel is disappointing overall. I thought this would be a good spot for digital nomads to socialise but it wasn’t.
The bunk bed in room 403 was completely sagged. If you have a sensitive lower back like me, you'd might end up the next morning with pain. This was the first time in a month of traveling that that happened. My second-hand IKEA couch at home feels more supportive than this bed.
The upper bunks also have no curtains or rails, so when someone turns on the light at night it shines straight into your eyes.
For work a stable connection is essential, but the Wi-Fi here was really poor.
The lockers are placed so high it’s hard to reach them if you’re short and carrying a big backpack.
Other small inconveniences: only one washing machine and one dryer, one hooks and no shelves in the shower to put your clothes, silverfish in the toilet, poor lighting at the sink (not great for makeup) and no clean bowls at breakfast. I had to eat my cereal out of a coffee mug. They also make you pay for luggage storage.
The air conditioning didn’t work in the common area (with almost no atmosphere), so I ended up sweating during my online meetings - and the Wi-Fi barely reached that space either.
I actually left at noon to work from a café instead.
The last straw was when a staff member insisted she’d given me a laundry token when she clearly hadn’t, and we had an awkward argument over it.
To be fair, the rest of the staff were kind and attentive. The breakfast team always greeted guests with a smile and the reception staff listened and even offered a small compensation after I explained my issues. I really wish I could rate it higher, but between the bad bed, weak Wi-Fi, and hot common areas, it just wasn’t a pleasant stay.

The location is excellent, very close to Casa Milà, Plaça de Catalunya, and Casa Batlló, making it incredibly convenient for sightseeing. I accidentally booked the wrong date for one of my nights. While the staff explained they couldn't directly issue a refund and that I needed to contact the booking platform, they still generously offered me a breakfast voucher, which I truly appreciated!
The room was quite spacious and clean, with a terrace. However, as it's an eco-friendly hotel, the air conditioning automatically turns off if the terrace door is open or if no one is in the room. We booked a bunk bed room, but found that the upper bunk had no guardrail at all, which felt a bit dangerous.
The hotel is located in a residential area with no shops nearby; you have to walk a bit to find any. The staff advised against parking on the street outside the hotel due to potential risks. You can park in the hotel's paid parking lot or the free police station parking lot a short distance away.
Taking a taxi from the airport costs around 21 Euros, which is quite convenient.
Great little Hostel near the Catalunya Congress Center and we'll positioned for the Metro straight to the airport.
Room and bed were clean. No issues whatsoever. The neighbourhood is pretty calm and safe to travel around at night.
It also has a beautiful roof terrace which no doubt is filled with people during the summer months.
Really enjoyed my short time here and would certainly be interested in returning for the summer months.

At first I was very hesitant to get inside the property as it was like an old building. But when we entered the facility - voila! It was very homy and cozy 🥰🥰
I so loved the ambiance. The staffs were so kind, understanding and helpful (english speaking 😉). There’s a breakfast available for €4 per person, and that’s unlimited. They also have laundry area.
The property is walking distance from tourist spots like Sagrada familia, Casa Batliò, and many more. It is near to shops, restaurants, bus stations, tram stations , and metro. If given a chance to come back in Barcelona, I will still book this place.
Overall good, the room ans the service are fine. But few things to mention in case some people mind: Shower room and toilet room are together, and be reminded there's no curtain between the shower and the toilet; the light automatically turn off at 11pm something

A Home Away from Home – Perfect Location & Amazing Vibes!
This is hands down one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! It truly felt like a home away from home. The beds are super comfortable, the entire place is clean and well-kept, and the staff are absolutely wonderful—friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile.
The location couldn’t be better. It’s easily accessible by metro from the airport—just grab a TMB metro card (very cheap and convenient), take Line 9 to the interchange with Line 1, and get off at Urquinaona. From there, it’s just a 3-minute walk to the hostel. You’re close to everything!
If you're looking for a cozy, clean, and well-connected place to stay in the city, this is it. Highly recommended!
Located in a developing area, the transportation was very convenient. I stayed there for three nights, and really appreciated being able to buy groceries and cook for myself, which was both economical and practical. The cleanliness was also quite good, and the secure lockers with automatic locks added to my peace of mind.

You have to get off the airport bus and walk for about 15 minutes. The location is good for sightseeing. It's a quiet atmosphere, so it's great to spend your private time without being disturbed to sleep. The staff are also friendly.
Very Good

GGuest UserThe hostel is clean and tidy even the bathroom although it's the sharing one but superb. The staff is super friendly and they are great in English so don't worry about it. And yet they had free stuff that was put on the receptionist. But if you want to travel to the centre of Barcelona, this hostel is pretty far from it. But so far it's awesome experience
도도랑쥐The shared space on the second floor was nice, with strong air conditioning and outlets. The bathroom faucet wouldn't come back on after a certain amount of time, which was a bit inconvenient when washing up. The bathroom in the room smelled so bad I had to close the door and sleep. The hostel had an elevator, and luggage storage was €3 per bag.
It was close to Casa Batlló and within walking distance of Plaça Catalunya, which was nice.
As other reviews suggest, you should consider the lack of air conditioning. Still, if I ever return to Barcelona, I'd definitely stay at this hostel.
ZZuleirisThey gave us a room that did not match the description on Trip. According to the girl at reception, Trip was to blame (we have never had any problems with Trip, everything has always been fine for us) and she also said that we could not be guided by the photos in the description that never matched, seriously!!!
Luckily it was only for one night because booking a room with a private bathroom and it doesn't have one: unforgivable. I can only say that it has a good location. I repeat this comment because it didn't come up before 🤔
CcarmencThe hotel is 15 minutes walk from the Sagrada Familia. There is Metro Line 1 and public transportation nearby. It is very convenient. It is a youth hostel. There is a public kitchen and laundry.
LLonely Railway ExplorerI took a train from Malaysia to Europe, please watch my YouTube channel Lonely Railway Explorer to know more.
I stay here for 1 night transit. The price is affordable, all the accommodation in Europe are crazy high.
The room I will say cozy, and you got your private storage, and the mattress and pillow are super comfortable.
The curtain rail on your bed is for your privacy, inside your bed also got light and two power socket.
But the main door closed and hard to bell and call them, please prepare the phone number incase you stuck at outside like me.
Negative experience is the toilet, too tiny, and the water supply is a problem, you need too keep pressing the 10 sec button when you shower.
And if your room got 4 pax, so you need to waiting tour turn in the morning.
SSyed Ali Abb@s RizviOverall, a good stay with a Few Minor Issues
I stayed at Safestay Barcelona Gothic from June 17–18, 2025, in a 12-bed mixed dorm. The experience was mostly positive.
✅ Pros:
The location is excellent — just a 5-minute walk from the metro, which made it easy to get around.
If you have an early flight (like mine at 08:30), this is a good place to stay as you can easily reach the airport in time.
The dorm, bathrooms, and common areas were all neat and clean.
Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay.
The staff was friendly and spoke good English.
Definitely value for money.
⚠️ Cons:
The check-in time listed in my confirmation email was 14:00, but they didn’t allow check-in until 15:00. This was a bit inconvenient.
Breakfast was not included in the booking.
Overall, it’s a decent and budget-friendly option in a central area, especially for solo or budget travellers. I would recommend it for short stays.
GGuest UserThis was by far the best hostel I stayed at, and also the cheapest! It's a large operation, run with ruthless Catholic discipline. It's very clean, very ordered, very comfortable. Compared to other hostels as well it does not run a catchpenny operation - linen is free, breakfast is free, luggage storage is free, etc. All these things are used by other hostels to up to double the cost of your stay. The staff were very pleasant, and spoke English. One night there was a customer who was unruly - refused to turn their light off at about 3am - the staff came, remonstrated with him, and eventually (he wouldn't relent) told him to leave the hostel. In other hostels you would be left to suffer the tyranny of an ignorant customer. Booking is understandably very tight - book early and for your whole stay. After a disastrous previous hostel in Rome, this was a necessary restoration of my faith in travelling.
