Sant Jordi Alberg is a superb hostel and it's enjoyable to stay here. It's got a great location -- it's within walking distance from Plaza Catalyna, which is as close to the town's center as you can get in Barcelona. There's a little grocery right across the street for whatever you need and all the cafes are a few blocks away.
It's a very social hostel -- every night, Mario (one of the guys who works at the hostel) takes a big group of people clubbing. Just about everyone in the hostel goes, which means late nights (you'll be out until about 3 or 4 a.m.). Also, most of the people staying there are in Barcelona to chill out, and are very open to making friends and hanging out.
The hostel itself has two wings (on the same floor), each side with multiple bathrooms and showers. One side has a kitchen, and both sides have lounge areas (with about six computers available for free internet twenty-four/seven). Smoking is prohibited inside the hostel, but there's a balcony provided that seems to be quite popular. This is the perfect hostel for you if you're into the club and bar scene, love late nights and parties, and want to see some of Barcelona as well.
