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.
I had a lovely time at the hostel and have decided to come back even. All very modern with fingerprint access to the room so no need for keys or cards, the pool is nice, common areas are social and the kitchen is clean. The only thing that would make it go above and beyond is 1) Privacy curtains, I don’t understand why it’s not a given in Europe but privacy curtains help a lot and are relatively cheap to install
2) a dedicated storage for bags. The locker they had was quite expensive I ended up having to pay 7€ to store my stuff for 5 hours after my checkout was but hey at least it’s secure
Generator Barcelona is a stylish and modern hostel located in the trendy Eixample district, close to the city center and within walking distance of attractions like Passeig de Gràcia and Sagrada Família. It offers both dormitory beds and private rooms, with clean, well-designed interiors and a fun, youthful atmosphere
Honestly I don't recommend this hostel mainly because of its location. I arrived at barcelona at night and I had to walk 20 min from the metro station to the hostel (the bus schedule might be different in day time). And you have to go uphill since it's the hill near the park guell. There's no lift in the hostel so it's not convenient at all. But the staff did helped me to carry the luggage up together.
One of the bathrooms was broken when I was there and there's only one bathroom at the other floor for the whole building.
The bedroom itself is clean and well air-conditioned
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Mellow Barcelona Hostel during my visit to the vibrant city of Barcelona. As a budget traveler, I was on the lookout for an affordable accommodation option that also offered comfort and a social atmosphere, and Mellow Barcelona Hostel certainly exceeded my expectations.
Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the friendly and multilingual staff, who made the check-in process a breeze. They were also incredibly helpful in providing me with a map of the city and giving me valuable recommendations on the best places to visit and explore in Barcelona.
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.
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
GGuest UserLoved this hostel, I came back here during my stay in Barcelona because I felt safe clean and was the best hostel I found for solo travellers who are not huge into partying!
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
