This hostel was absolutely the worst place. Avoid at all cost. You actually do not save money. Their hidden fees will cost you more than some hotels in Barcelona. Staff are disinterested in helping their customers.

The best B and B.
With my family and solo, I have stayed in several bed and breakfasts in the U.K. The Bay Horse is the best of them all for several reasons: beautifully renovated old coaching inn, quiet and clean rooms, outstanding breakfasts, fabulous little touches like fresh fruit in the room as well as a delicious chocolate laid out on the bed upon arrival, scenic location, and of course warm hospitality.

Unfriendly staff to the point of rudeness who overcharged despite having a reservation and then added some extra hidden fees. The place stunk was was so poorly lit you could mistake it for a drug den. Avoid.

Not worth it
Didn’t expect a very comfortable stay but it was very uncomfortable with the loght in the room switching off automatically every 10 minutes, the toilet’s light and the shower also off by itself. Bed sheet was not provided. You have to pay for it. No heater. If I know this is the condition of the room, would rather pay more for a better comfort. I have stayed in a cheap hostel before but this is the worst so far

Cheap price and quality
Location is good, close to metro and bus, but hostel itself is pretty lacking, management is unfriendly and greedy. Free breakfast = coffee, they put out 1 box of pastery and it's gone with half hour then nothing else. Bathroom condition is great though, beds are kinda of close to one another as expected.

One of the cheapest, don't expect too much
This is an acceptable place, but that's really about it, beds are close to each other, they charges you 2 euros for bed sheets, room is cold and you have to ask for thick sheets, sometimes breakfast is provided and sometimes not, when it's served it's first come first serve, wake up too late it's all gone. But common room is big which is good for socializing, kitchen is ok size with 3 frigs, BUT no stoves, microwave and oven only.

Arrived at hostel early in the morning. I was tired and exhausted. Staff was so kind to allow me check in early at 10am. And even after checked out, I was allowed to take a shower as I would catch my bus at late night. Price is pretty cheap with coffee and juice provided. The bad thing was that the room was not spacious for twelve people. Just staying for few nights is okay.

Not really a nice hostel. Lights in rooms swich off every five minutes, windows don't really open and lockers are pretty small. Showers also aren't good, they swich off every 20 seconds, and no-one showers in 20 seconds. Kitchen only has microwave and an oven that doesn't seem to ever get cleaned. The common area isn't really great either, always horrible music playing. Only good thing is that you get free coffee/juice I guess.

Booked this hostel last min. Too expensive per night for what you get. I was between this hostel and another one and the only reason I picked this one was because it said breakfast included. There is no breakfast, be aware that they only give coffee and juice... nothing else. The location - closest metro is about a 5min walk. Not close to any of the major sights. You can walk to La Rambla, its about a 15-20min walk. You have to pay 2 euro for bed sheets and 2 euro for towel per night, non refundable. During my stay, I had a problem which is not the hostels fault but the night guy could have handled better (dont know his name)... the guy on the top bed brought in a girl, I was not able to sleep due to the noise and of course the bunk bed shaking, went to reception asked the guy to change my bed. He went in, came out and just told me to wait 5min till they were done!! Hello, Im a paying customer, you do not tell that to your customer. The morning reception guy is nice, he was willing to change my room the next day. I would not stay at this hostel again. Too expensive for what it is, you can find better and closer to main attractions.

Pesimo
Muy mala experiencia, no te atienden en recepción. Al llegar tienes que pagar muchos gastos ocultos epezando por las sábanas -2€ por noche- o duermes sin ropa de cama, si tienes que dejar el equipaje cobran 5€ por dejarlo tirado en una equina sin protección ninguna, wifi no... taquillas muy muy pequeñas, donde cabe un bolso. Lo que es desayuno es una tasa de cafe. Atención y experiencia pésimas.

Deberian mejorar
No me gusto la experiencia, no me volveria a hospedar ahí, tome una habitacion privada y me pidieron hacer el check in a las 8:30 Y NO A LAS 10COMO DECIA LA PAGINA, te cobran deposito de 5 euros por la llave, tienes que pagar 2euros por cada toalla pues no las incluye, el area no me gusto, ni el ambiente, la ubicacion su esta muy buena y la cama comoda, pero la habitacion no es bonita, estaba demasiado caro para el servicio que ofrecen, en la pagina se ofrece desayuno bufet y solo te dan un pan y cafe o chocolate. Barcelona es una ciudad muy cara pero deberian brindar brindar un mejor servicio para lo que cobran por eso solamente me hospede una noche la cual pues se pasa en cualquier lado.

Pésimo!!!
La cocina es lo peor tiene un olor espantaso. En algunas ocuaciones los cuartos igual. No sirven lámparas. El trato el malo. El baño sucio no concuerda las fotos con la actualidad. Todas las paredes tienen moho. Y créame que por ese precio eh estado en mejores hostales. Lo único bueno es su ubciacion a 4 min del metro y de ahí para cualquier lado. Incluso caminando llegas a muchos lugares.

Séjour Barcelone
Lits qui grincent, toilettes parfois très sales, une douche pour 12, la porte de notre chambre était cassée donc ne fermait pas et il y a eu une nuit où les gérants se sont pris la tête et ont réveillé tout le monde. Mis à part ça, bon séjour passé entre amies, on a quand même bien dormi et l’auberge est bien située.

아침밥은 준다고 했는데 빵 한종류 뿐이고 그나마도 시간도 들쑥날쑥, 한번은 아예 없다고 함. 수건도 사이트엔 제공된다고 했으나 유료임. 로비 등 공동공간에서 냄새가 남. 그나마 2인실을 썼고 뒤쪽 정원으로 통하는 큰 문이 있어서 방에선 냄새 안났네요. 숙박 사이트의 내용과 다른점이 많아요. 청소도 매일 안해주고 시트도 한번 주고 안갈아줌. 담요가 얇아서 추워서 옷입고 잤고요. 전기가 주기적으로 꺼져서 샤워하다가도 암흑이 되는데 불켜는 곳 사이에 옷핀 꽂아 고정하니 괜찮았어요. 짐도 체크아웃 후 2시간만 무료로 맡아주고 이후엔 유료에요. 직원들은 모르겠는데 주인아저씨가 엄청 무뚝뚝하고 불친절해요.
