The Hipstel Parallel

A good apartment at the center of Barcelona

Pros: The location is really good. This is very close to La Rambla. Moreover it is not that far from a metro station. The kitchen facilities were good. Communication with the management was more or less smooth.

Cons: The position of the windows was very bad. Even with bright sunlight, you will not have a clue about how sunny it is outside.

Good hostel, but nothing amazing.

Pros: Pretty standard hostel, had everything you needed, staff are nice, place was clean enough. Can’t complain for the money.

Cons: Showers were a little bit average

Welcoming and easy going place

Pros: Staff very friendly and helpful, 24hs reception, plenty of bathrooms and toilets, luggage storage. Great location close to restaurants, markets and petrol stations. Next to a busy street but quiet. You can use the kitchen and it has a cool terrace

Cons: It could have curtains in beds, but overall it was really good. You can’t use the kitchen and terrace 24 hs

great experience for this money. would recommend

Pros: a big thank you to Angela for her hospitality, she gave some tips what to do and where to go in Barcelona and was very nice. The location is amazing, everything is just in a walking distance to all the attractions and the city. Had a great experience over all!

Cons: would be great to have a few more towels in the apartment. Pretty busy location, there is a construction close to and can be a bit loud

Wonderful and welcoming

Pros: Staff were excellent, communal facilities great. 24hr reception excellent for solo travellers

Cons: Beds dangerous to get down from

Pros: Wonderful time spent there, great location for the price. The staff was really nice and friendly.

Cons: A bit of a shame for the bed that make a lot of noise especially the locker under the lower bed.

this is the place :)

Pros: The place is extremely cool. Pure fun. I felt welcomed, instantly tuned into the local vibe. Hostel is spacy, nicely arranged, clean, full of people you really want to be around, accustomed to socialising and not disturbing at all. The spot is close to cool tapas bars. It was weekend and full events going outside and despite noise it felt just great, as a part of travelling experience. The hostel crew was extremely helpful, chatty and understanding. My thanks and greetings here :)

Cons: Nothing really was wrong. One of the best hostels I remember to visit.

I stayed for 2 weeks, 10/10 for customer service.

Pros: Clean hostel. Amazing people, amazing customer service.

Cons: Only one toilet per floor

Pros: My partner and I stayed in one of the studio apartments in El Raval. It was a beautiful apartment, perfect for 2 people and great location, just be careful going back at night but we had no issues. The actual hostel let us leave our bags there until our flight too.

Cons: Nothing :)

Satisfactorily suited my needs and great restaurants bars nearby. n

Pros: I liked the big kitchen and access to the terrace. Also a larger more private shower room was available. Friendly staff with 24 hour reception.

Cons: Room was a tad small but I suppose that is to be expected in a hostel.
