Excellent!

Our stay at Wow Hostel was unforgettable. The front staff are super friendly and helped us with our needs. Our twin-bed room was spotless. The shared washrooms were clean too. The location is excellent with easy access to public transport and tons of restaurants in the neighborhood.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This facility needs a facelift. Our room looked haggard, desperately needing a paint job. It smelled so strongly of bleach that we had to leave the windows open for the first day. One of the floor's toilets needed to be scrubbed on the underside of the seat for the entire 3 days we were there, and the soap dispenser did not work despite the fact that we notified the front desk staff. The primary upside of this hostal is its relatively lower cost & proximity to Avenida Diagonal buses & a short 6 to 8-minute walk to the nearest metro stop.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Good: -comfy bed -clean -kitchen facilities -good bars (down the side streets off the opposite side of Avinguda Diagonal) Ok but room to improve: -only given one key for our room -initially a bit tricky to get in! Instructions would be good but, even then, you need to press the 3 on the street side doorbell/intercom quite hard but I don't think it works every time. We didn't get a response until we phoned reception and he buzzed us in. I helped another pair of travellers get in when they had the same issue the next day. -not that we travel for TV but we did use it a bit and it seems to have only p*rn or some sort of religious channel that uses eggs or tarot cards. An HDMI lead would have been a game changer.

Good location, Room is big, Air conditioner is quiet and cool, Staffs are very friendly. However the room soundproof is very bad... The common area is next to our room, you can hear all the noise in the midnight. The rooms are on the 3rd floor and face to a busy street with vehicles noise... If you can tolerance with noise but want a cheap prices then this hostel is fine.

Très déçus de notre séjour

Très déçu de notre séjour. Malgré que nous avons été bien accueilli par l’hôte, nous avons été déçus par l’hôtel. Le planche de notre chambre était sale, notre fenêtre était en partie placardé parce qu’il avait un air climatisé et on avait une vue sur un mur de brique. Les sales de bains communes étaient très sales, certaines d’entre elles ne se barraient même pas. Certains sièges de toilettes étaient arrachées et les vadrouilles sales avec eaux usées trainaient. C’était aussi très bruyant et la porte d’entré de l’immeuble ne se barrait pas. Bref beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est. Les photos ne représente en rien ce que nous avons eu.
