We had a great stay at this hotel! We arrived late and were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade, which was a lovely touch. Although we only stayed one night, we felt very comfortable. The room was clean and well-maintained. The only reason we changed hotels the next day was because this location is a bit far from the city, and we weren’t sure if the tour packages we had booked would include pickup from here. Otherwise, everything was excellent.
My room entrance was not working. So i went downstairs asking the receptionist with long blond hair, to help me as I was in a hurry to go to work. He spoke very rude to me “ telling me that I have to wait until he finishes his job. Not providing me help like when another colleague was free etc.
Due to that I had to wait so long that I arrived late at my work.
Let me start off by saying if you are a solo traveler looking to meet other solo travelers, you should try other hostels like one fam.
This hostel has a lot of tour groups with young kids.
This hostel has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced at any hostel or hotel ever!! The man in the front was so rude to me. Even if I arrive before check in time, you should still be accommodating. I asked the young man where can I put my luggage so I can walk around outside until check in time. He was very sarcastic and proceeded to say, “You see that sign that has luggage on it.” I’m like yes but it’s locked! He said you have to pay and then walked away. I asked him if I could check in early and he said no because I’m not in a group. So I watched everyone else check in early and get treated with the utmost respect because they were with a group and I wasn’t. Another solo traveler came up to me and said if you are friends with one of the staff you can check in early. He took me the staff that he was friends with with and helped me check in. This is so unprofessional!!! I paid a lot of money to stay there for one night and I need to be friends with one of the front desk workers to check in !!!!! If I could have gotten a refund I would’ve done so and went back to my other hostel.
Please don’t have “Ask about our walking tours” written everywhere and then when I ask you about the tours, you look confused and give me a website on how to find a tour guide which has nothing to do with your hostel!! I will never stay here again, nor would I recommend this place to anyone.
The rooms were amazing. You have your own bathroom with towels provided. There is also a balcony. The breakfast was also amazing.
The service at this place was awful and I did not find the staff accommodating at all. People are paying money to stay at your establishment!!!
The 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
Breakfast is available EUR5 from 4 am, prearranged taxi to airport is available on pre booking first come first get basis. Midnight bus n17 to the airport is at the corner of the hotel accepted by T casual mobility card. An elevator is available at the hotel, highly recommended
The experience of the six-person female dormitory is particularly good. I met very good roommates. It is quite quiet at night. There is a kitchen on the underground first floor where you can cook, which is very convenient. There is a balcony on the sixth floor where you can rest.

This hostel has a 12 euro/person dinner, which is delicious. It includes soup, bread, salad, paella and dessert, and two drinks. It is very cost-effective. You can eat paella when you come to Barcelona alone. The room is also very good, worthy of being a celebrity.
This place is VERY far from the city centre and the beaches so keep that in mind when booking. Although the hostel itself is safe, bussing back at 5 am which takes about 1 hour from the clubs and city centre is not great. The room is small but it does the job. Staff are super nice and the amenities are good.
I arrived on a late flight and wanted something not too far from the airport. This hostel was very reasonable priced and is a few minutes walk from the Metro station.
The staff was super friendly with check in and there is a lovely terrace. The rooms have 4 bunk beds but I also noticed a double room.
Locker for your things and around bed curtains for some privacy. I slept ok and left early morning before the others in the room got up.
If you are looking for something cheap near the airport for a night this is great.
Very Good

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 🤔
DDaniel069Hip Karma Hostel exceeded all my expectations. As a solo traveler, I felt instantly at home in this vibrant, welcoming space. The modern facilities are top-notch - from the spotless bathrooms to the well-equipped kitchen. I loved lounging in the cozy common area and chatting with fellow travelers. The rooftop terrace offered stunning views, perfect for sunset drinks. The staff went above and beyond, offering great local tips. This hostel truly embodies the spirit of Spain - lively, warm, and unforgettable!
GGuest UserThe beds are given in a transparent bag and you have to rebuild your bed (we had booked a private wax for the whole group.It is not easy to rebuild your beds in a high, conscious that the bed shell is not correctly positioned and you may be injured. room 211
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.
JJesús Jiménez VicoIt was my second time here and it was great, better than the last time. Clean place, with private bathroom with two showers, two sinks and two toilets for a room of 12. Also, the great work they do, as most of the staff are disabled people.
AAnonymous UserNice staff but the roomates were horrible. Some of them do not know how to live with ppl. Anyway I swear the staff is a gem. If u want to make sure u can sleep, just have your own room. I’ve travelling around and i always stayed in the hostel. It’s the first time that i can sleep just 6 hours in 3 day. But the hostel is really amazing im swear
