BcnSportHostels

Only my first night here supposed to have 3 more. I don’t think I have ever done a review before but this place is awful. the ac isn’t working and poor ventilation of the room makes it unbelievably hot. Bathroom,shower and sheets provided weren’t clean and smell also no hand soap provided? Which is a basic necessity, I haven’t had anything stolen yet like others but overall is not worth the risk and definitely not the price, if possible stay away and only come as a last resort.

I don't recommend this hostel very much. The rooms are not clean and have a bad smell. In addition, the bathroom door cannot be closed in the mixed room, and it is a glass door...

Also, their service is not good. They charge 5 euros for luggage storage...

You should just close it down.

Unfortunately the wifi is just completely unusable. I could text via WhatsApp but google searches and using maps was too much for it, even in the kitchen and lobby. Webpages would not load and it could not support a WhatsApp audio call

I travel with minimal data so this was a big deal for me. The Generator hostel next door had free fast wifi that I mooched a couple times by walking down the block. Not nice or sustainable lol but it puts the wifi quality into context.

Rooms are SNUG. Small rooms filled with lots of bunks. I got a bunk near the door and sinks so I was OK but being the last bunk on the other end would have felt pretty suffocating. Suffocating because you would have been sleeping at a dead end hallway lined with other sleepers. Relatively clean! AC that we didn’t turn on that often (could be controlled within the bunk room), but worked well, and the windows don’t open but it was fine. Showers don’t lock but it was obvious when it was occupied by the noise and the light. Semi transparent door so you could see peoples stuff inside. No problems.

I would not recommend trying to cook anything here besides the quick and basic! But if you do, there are great tables to eat it at lol

Overall- not sketchy or dirty. Price it out and try to stay somewhere with functional wifi and bigger rooms.

The rooms feel like a prison with rock solid mattresses. The receptionist is incredibly disrespectful and shouts at people for 'being too loud' while you are practically whispering. He called us all gay then kicked us out onto the street when we had nowhere to go. The rest of the staff were fine but the receptionist with neck and arm tattoos and black hair was genuinely the worst receptionist I have ever encountered.

The meals were awful and we were given out of date food. The food was disgusting and we often went hungry.

The wifi doesn't work in many areas of the hotel and has very poor connection in the places where there is signal. The air conditioning doesn't work so we had to sit downstairs until around 2am when it was cold enough to fall asleep. The shower was mouldy and the floor was covered in dirt. The key card didn't work so we had to get the receptionist to unlock the door anytime we wanted to get inside our room.

The window didn't open so we had no way of ventilating the room.

Avoid this hostel at all costs.

Good location but quite shady. Very poor service, the small share kitchen literally have nothing available to use. Very dirty as well
