We really loved badalona. It is near a nice beach, serviced by both the train and metro. Loved the shopping and vibe of badalona. Whilst it is handy to be centre city sometimes we enjoyed getting out of the rat race and finishing our day in this lovely beach town. Hotel was pretty basic but our room (401)had a huge private deck although all rooms are different. The room was quite a good size and serviced everyday, although towels weren't changed daily but that ok. There is a lovely communal garden out the back and a communal room with microwave, table, tv, chairs.

No kettle or fridge but we used the microwave in the communal room to heat water for a cuppa. Aircon wasn't very good, fan worked but not the cooling part. Shower head holder was broken, should be an easy fix so maybe they will do that. Despite the cons we eould definitely come back.

Room was lovely and had a nice view. Bed was BEAUTIFUL! Location was excellent and nearby streets signposted directions to the place, which was really helpful. The receptionist Alexandra was lovely! She gave the warmest welcome and went out of her way to help me order a taxi when it was impossible to get one online - this warmth and kindness would make me stay here again next year!

The only issue would be the size of the bathroom: the whole room was soaked when I showered because it was so small! Lots of flies also got into the bathroom after I opened the window so perhaps some netting outside the window could have been good.

The location was perfect - close to the beach, train and metro stations. Room was basic, but clean and comfortable. I liked the bathroom with window, and there was plenty of hot water. It's good choice if you need just a place to sleep

I was lucky to have decent neighbours, just one night I was disturbed some continuous noise - maybe my neighbours were packing or something like that. However, the walls are quite thin.

Staff were friendly, room clean, location was great. Yes, there’s some noise as other reviews suggest as it’s a hostel but it didn’t affect our sleep staff were really accommodating whenever I asked anything

The lack of kitchen, there’s a microwave and the staff can store stuff in a fridge but you have to keep asking them to get fridge stuff. And the garden has a few too many mosquitoes for us

Situated 4 train stops to the centre of Barcelona the town was really good and. had plenty of shops, cafes and places to eat. This was my 1st hostal experience. The staff were friendly, the room and bathroom very clean, beds made and wipe round of bathroom every day. Couldn't fault it for cleanliness.

No where to make a hot drink, there was a vending machine but not for tea, Even a kettle in the communal area would be better than nothing

Excellent location. I was very happy to have a lift to floor 4. Very helpful and friendly staff. Adequate room size.

The shower was extremely small with a curtain so it was always sticking to me when in the shower. No access to a kettle to make my own tea though their was a microwave. I had to ask for a cup as they are not in the communal area. The staff did get me cups when asked but I’m sure I’m not the only one. Why not just have cups and glasses available for guests to use. I saw there was a vending machine but I travel with my own organic tea.

We liked most the view

The bed covers and the pillows were not convenient, not user friendly, they need to be replaced with fresh, better quality bedsheets, bedcovers and pillows. There was no coffee or tea pot in the room, so we could not make our morning coffee, which was a big minus.

Stuff was nice and helpfull. Location is great, close to the beach and to the metro station. Badalona is in zone 1, for the metro. We were there during city's celebration and it was great experience (carneval, concerts, fireworks)

There is a lot of stairs, and it would be difficult to find your room. Garden was great but full of mosquitoes during the day and night.

Very good value for money. This was my second time staying here. The location is great for a stroll to the beach and Badalona has plenty to offer. 10 minute walk from the metro into Barcelona, and it's good because it's the first stop on the line you usually get a seat.

The location was really handy (we were there for primavera sound!) - It’s a 5-7 min walk to the train station which only takes 20 mins to get into central barcelona (the gothic quarter and that general area)

No cons - the staff were also really lovely
