No me gustó.
Solo me quede porque estaba abonado la estadía de 5 dias.
Mala experiencia
Lo único que rescate es la amabilidad de Henry.

SvetlanaUnited StatesGreat place to explore Bacelona
If you’re used to big hotel chains like Marriott or Hilton, this hostel might feel too basic. But if your plan is to head out at 9 AM, explore Barcelona all day, and come back just to rest, it’s exactly what you need.…
