A Good Stay
A clean hostel in a good enough location to be close to colom, plaza catalunya, and la rambla. It is on a main street so not too dangerous at night -- i saw other hostels down back alleys! No kitchen which was a bit of a pain especially for a four-day stay. Also, apart from a tiny common room and the terrace, no central meeting point, so in four days i didn't really feel like i'd chatted to or met anyone apart from our roommates, unusual when backpacking. The terrace shut really early, 10 p.m., so no chance of meeting people there! Cheap though, and the staff were friendly and helpful -- although a bit aggressive about the door buzzer and letting you in!

After a double booking mistake [sh*t happens], my fifteen-year-old son and I were re-allocated to the new hostel, Downtown Paraiso. I cant comment about the facilities at the original site but Downtown was wonderful. Simple and in the process of refurbishment, but the staff were so helpful and friendly. Advice on any matter was delivered as though being given to a friend rather than a customer. Located just off La Rambla. I was a little anxious about the suitability of the site for my son but I couldn't have been more wrong and I will recommend the hostel to anyone.

We rented a room with double bed and we got a nice apartment, which was a nice surprise. The location it is perfect, walking distance from everywhere. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they kept the apartment and hostel very clean and in good conditions. Very nice hostel and apartments. I recommend this hostel for a couple, or a group of travelers.

Paraiso Travellers Hostel is a secure and well located hostel on the first floor of an apartment building. It has a small lounge and a large terrace. There is no kitchen and access to showers can be a bit limited in the morning, especially the single shower room on the terrace. Sadly the terrace closes early so you had better make friends before 11 p.m. and then hit the town if you want fun. And because the is no bar you need to be proactive about meeting people here too. The hostel is clean and secure and the staff are friendly and happy to help. The location is about ten minutes walk from La Ramblas and fifteen to the Gothic quarter. However the local area is well severed with shops and bars too and many of the people who work there will speak some English.

I stayed at this hostel for about a week while apartment hunting in Barcelona. On the plus side, staff are friendly, knowledgeable and organized. The hostel is small and clean, and many rooms have attached bathrooms. I often found myself sharing a four-bed, one-bath dorm room with only one other person. General bathroom facilities are sufficient, with two toilet-only rooms and two shared showers. There is no lock-out and reception is open 24 hours. On the downside, the hostel is located in a not-very-safe area and the walk home at night from Las Ramblas can be frightening. I would definitely not recommend this hostel for girls traveling alone. Although the people staying here are pretty quiet, I was woken up night after night by one of the neighbours howling like a wolf.

I stayed in this hostel for some nights and I didn't like it, too noisy. I wouldn't visit it again.

This is a really nice, friendly hostel. The rooms are pretty basic but if you're used to hostelling you'll agree that this is pretty clean and generally good. There is a communal room and the staff are happy to help with anything you need. The only drawback is that it can be a bit noisy. It's relatively centrally located about a ten-minute walk from the Colon and about ten minutes from Plaza Catalunya.

Great hostel. Clean and cozy. Staff are friendly and are willing to help you as best as they can. The location is ok. It's not in the middle of the city center, but the Metro is nearby and a few steps away are nice bars. My only comment: noise from traffic can disturb your sleep.
