The location is awesome, the employees are very friendly. The wifi is free but its range is very bad. Its a clean place to stay at, but the shower when i was there had some flooding problems.
I would recomend to some friends and definetily would stay again for a couple days, not a long trip like the one I did.

Well run, lively and spacious hostel in a great location. The food is great, the people are awesome, friendly, and always helpful. It’s a big hostel but the atmosphere each night makes it seem smaller.

I had never stayed in a hostel and was fairly nervous about staying at the Hipstel, however it was awesome. I can’t really speak to how it compares to other hostels, but I was very impressed with the staff and facilities. It was very clean and always smelled like fresh flowers. The staff was always helpful and suggested things for us to do on the stay. It is also in a central location and you are in walking distance to lots of dining and shops. The stay overall was awesome. You cannot beat the price.

I really enjoyed my time in The Hipstel! The staff is very friendly and the location is great… The hostel offer many options to know Barcelona. The internet has a good quality, but It could be better. I recommend it.

Young super helpful staff and great interior design with cheap good breakfast… It’s all I need for 3 days trip. Some guests were quite noisy but after complaining staff moved as to the other room without any problems. There is posibility to leave your luggage is special room, so it’s safe.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Hipstel! The reception and people inside the hostel are very friendly and helped me out with any queries I had! The Hipstel is also a great place to get access to clubs as well as cheap drinks :D and good food! I also thought The Hipstel was a great place to meet new people! Sometime in the future I am definitely staying again!

The Hipstel is one of the good hostels I have been in Europe. The crew is friendly. The location is great. Enjoy the Barcelona while staying at The Hipstel! Definitely it will be a next time in The Hipstel.

Personally I had no expectations for Hipstel, frankly I only booked the place of a great price offer for New Years holidays, and found it SO pleasant in every way. Cleanest bathrooms I’ve ever seen in a hostel so far. Nice spacious dorms with high sealing. Quite inviting common area and helpful (at times adorable!) staff. It’s far from a party hostel, but staff has always some kind of a suggestion for a night out… which is nice, even though I never used it.
I’ll freely recommend it to anyone and even more, will definitely go back next time I’m in Barca.

The rooms are good, i really love the concept of the hostel, because you can put your important stuff in a locker, the place is near to very good places to eat and to take the subway or walk around, but the internet isn’t working well when i was there but i went in christmas so the internet guy can’t fix it, i recomended that place!!
