molto bene 😊
Pros:

camera pulitissima, asciugamani e phon disponili.
i letti erano comodi.
spazio comune abbastanza spazioso con acqua (sia calda che fredda). zona “bar” con un lavandino, bollitore e una terrazza esterna dove poter stare.
i ragazzi che lavorano lì sono molto gentili, pur non sapendo l’italiano e con un livello di inglese basso si sono fatti capire.
comodo per andare a sant jordi club. fermata della metro molto vicina perciò arrivi dove vuoi in un attimo.
zona molto tranquilla.

Pros:

Ubicacion, limpieza.

Cons:

Obviamente es un hostal. La descripcion indica muy bien lo que hay. En general hoteles y hostales en Barcelona son caros. Elkano ni siquiera es uno de los mas caros. Para mi la relacion precio calidad no cuadra, pero es la ley de oferta y demanda

Pros:

The hostel was very clean! It’s was also in a good location as the train station was across the street. There was always someone at the front so checking in and out was very easy.

Pros:

The place is close to the Subway. Clean rooms, quiet place and region.

Cons:

The blankets where very thin which made sleeping a little uncomfortamble. The soap they included wasn't golf enough for showering. Eventhough, as an overall experience, we had a great stay.
