David

I stayed at Free Hostels Barcelona for one night. I chose it due to its proximity to Barcelona Sants station - it was only a short walk away. I stayed in a private room with ensuite. It was a cheap place to stay, so my expectations were not high. I would note however that walls were not particularly soundproofed - I could hear people taking in the the adjacent room as I was trying to sleep.

Great stay! Beds felt very private with a huge curtain. Location close to train and lots of cute restaurants/bars. Easy to get everywhere i wanted to go. Ensuite shower had a bit of a mold problem, but otherwise everything was great. Would book again!

Great Stay, Open Late

We were arriving in Barcelona very late from our flight and needed somewhere with a late check in. We found this hostel and were very surprised how nice and clean it was. Highly reccomend staying here and dont let it being a hostel turn you off. We have a private room and it was great.
