>> info: (date and others) 10-14/November/2023 (4 nights) @ 2 adults. € 420 total Stayed in room number #3 ("Double Room with Terrace" + private bathroom) >> PROS: - staff: Andrea was an incredible host. He does everything with his heart and what an awesome personality =) super helpful, knowledgeable, welcoming and gave us an incredible overview of Barcelona with a map as soon as we arrived. - check-in: also organized with Andrea, that was very flexible with my arrival plans considering I was coming from a roadtrip nearby. - location: couldn't be better, the neighborhood feels safe different than other areas from Barcelona, supermarket in the corner, walking distance to Sagrada Familia and so many attractions (Casa Batlo is only 800m), easy access to public transport. - AC: I don't remember using it. - shower: good shower. - kitchen: well equiped kitchen and good organization for storage of each room. - outside area: the outside area is wonderful, and some rooms (as #3) have direct access to it, including a little private space (which is the part advertised as "terrace").

Just to consider: - The bathroom could get a deeper cleaning. - Soap dispenser could be improved for easier use when showering.

When we booked this Barcelona hostel, we knew there would be a terrace, but we never expected it to be so incredibly spacious - it's actually big enough to play basketball! Our room had direct access to this amazing terrace, and even though it rained during our stay, we could easily imagine how perfect it would be on a sunny day. The room itself was uniquely decorated with artworks from a visiting artist, adding a special touch to our stay. The hostel's facilities include a well-equipped kitchenette where you can cook proper meals if you want to save some money or just enjoy cooking. What really stood out was the exceptional service - the front desk staff member took an incredible 30 minutes to thoroughly explain every single detail about our stay. I mean EVERY detail, such dedication to guest comfort is rare to find.

The whole ambience of the building as a whole. It's in a great location, rooms are big with very high ceilings and being able to use the community kitchen (which kindly provides free tea and coffee) was a bonus. It was also a nice meeting place for the guests. It felt more like staying in someone's gorgeous old home. The location is fantastic - walking distance to Sagrada Familia and down to the Gothic Quarter (20 mins), a number of fantastic places to eat nearby and taxis are readily available from the front door. The highlight for me was the Manager "Andrea" - from the minute I arrived he made me feel welcome. His knowledge of Barcelona is fabulous and he has great taste in local Catalan restaurants which I enjoyed. He attempts to get to know his guests personally and caters to their needs professionally and kindly. He truly is an asset to ZooRooms.

The pillows - sorry guys. I am one of the pains in the neck who take their own pillow when I travel overnight at home. It's a personal thing but affected my sleep.

Great communal type accomodations in a super convenient location. Great kitchy vibe in the place. You are within walking distance to just about everything. Communal kitchen that is well stocked with more then just the basics. Both indoor & outdoor lounge areas. The rooms are roomy enough with good storage for your belongings. The beds were comfortable. Andrea & Katya could not have been more friendly & super informative of the area & local hot spots. Great energy in those 2!

Let me be clear, I really liked this place & I only use this "what didn't you like?" area only to make suggestions to the establishment. My suggestion....The pillows could be upgraded.

We stayed at 'ZOOROOMS Boutique Guesthouse' for 3 nights. It is situated close to the Barcelona attractions such as Casa Batlló & Plaça de Catalunya, which are located within walking distance. It took about half an hour to reach the property from the Barcelona Airport by an Uber. The buildings looked very old. The hotel was situated on the 1st floor, which was not accessible by an elevator. The gentleman at the reception was very supportive. He demonstrated how to open the building door & the hotel door, followed by a detailed hotel & room tour. He properly communicated all the instructions & guidelines. We could even get an early check-in for our room. The hotel had everything required for the stay. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was equipped with an air conditioner, a table & a chair. The bathroom was sufficiently spaced & clean. Hot water worked without an issue. Towels, soap & amenities were available. The common kitchen was equipped with a refrigerator and all the required kitchen utensils. The dining area was also located alongside the kitchen. There was a common living room & a terrace which opened up to the backyard. The hotel provided a perfect stay in Barcelona.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at ZooRooms. The location is fantastic - only a 15 minute walk from the airport shuttle bus stop, and 5 minutes to the metro station. There are some great places to eat around the area and a 24 hour convenience store across the road. I was able to get some breakfast foods from there and save money, with space allocated in the fridge and cupboards for each room. The kitchen is well stocked including with oil and spices to cook, there is an oven, microwave and filtered water available. The room was beautifully decorated with everything you need for your stay and I enjoyed having doors to the terrace, with table and chairs and hammocks on the terrace; and air conditioning in the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend ZooRooms for your stay in Barcelona.

There were no negatives at all!!

This is excellent budget accommodation - with ensuite room and access to a kitchen. There is outdoor seating and some rooms have their own designated space outside the door. There is a well-equipped kitchen, which is very small so I think it would be quite crowded if everyone wanted to cook at the same time. I think it might be noisy in the summer, but we found that it was quiet. We are at the older end of the age-group who might use zoorooms (late 60s) but was didn't feel too p;d and I hope the younger people staying there didn't find us too old! The staff are awesome - really helpful and welcoming. There are lots of small shops nearby to buy food. There is designated space in the fridge and cupboards for each room.

The kitchen area was a bit small - but it didn't spoil the stay.

Great and rare value in expensive Barcelona. Facilities and room was clean and reflected what was online. Enjoyed the mural in the room, great artwork and bohemian vibe. Loved that it had a communal kitchen and places to store your groceries to cook some meals and save some money. Sights are close by walking or Metro. Area felt safe. Above all Andrea made our stay welcoming and memorable. Super friendly guy who treated us like family! Will definitely stay here if I come back to Barcelona.

Everything was great! N/A

Location was great, we walked everywhere on foot. There were nice restaurants and shops close to the place so we were able to buy some fresh food, make breakfast in the kitchen and eat it on the terrace. Great staff that was so nice to take into consideration that we came before the checkin hours and cleaned the room earlier so we could use it right away. We had a room with the exit to the tarrace, away from the street so it was quite. I really recommend if you prefer a place with character rather then the regular hotel.

Really nothing comes to my mind

Loved this hostel! Amazing location in the best neighbourhood to stay of Barcelona - with the lovely new pedestrian roads, all the lovely restaurants, and not too touristy. The whole place was great, so well cared for, and with so much thought in every detail, making our stay just perfect. The room was lovely, and even though it was situated onto the busy road, the thick glass really limited any noise polution. Gorgeous terrace and nice kitchen, and not to forget the kindest and helpful hosts!

Not a thing
