Alberg Barcelona Xanascat

So, if you want to stay in a place where your portion of lunch you paid for will go to the lover of the head manager... Well, then this is your dream place😂 Disgustingly cleaned rooms; refugees smoking marijuana and always yelling under your windows; security guards sleeping at night... Believe me, this hostel and its staff can ruin your vacation, even if you call yourself an unpretentious person in terms of amenities. Do not dare to spend your money on this dump.

Worst paid accommodation I have ever endured... largely due to appalling treatment by a staff member, though there was nothing great about it. This was quite a while ago so the sadistic creep who worked there at the time has presumably moved on, but it was so bad it put me off a) hostels and b) Barcelona ever since. Young people with no cash don't deserve to be treated like garbage. I hope they have much better hiring practices these days.

Muchas Gracias Pela Estadia ❤️❤️❤️❤️ the manager is an amazing person, and so is the rest of the staff. Beautiful place, so much history. Couldn’t recommend more!

if i could give the rooms a ZERO i would OMG don’t even get me started on “pillows” STRAIGHT AIR not even classified as pillows AT ALL. and things were NOT clean. not worth any money.

Paid for 4 nights, kicked us out on another night to go to another room, because someone else has a reservation for our room, which we paid for.

The place is stunning! With a nice view and beautiful design. The food on the canteen is nice and u have even a fridge to put something. Well connected with bus and metro nearby and the price is good. However, there is many kids there, but all lovely <3

The Alberg Barcelona Xanascat is the best hostel to stay at in Barcelona. It may not last much longer, but I was able to get a single person room (with three beds😂) for only €27 a night. That came with a free breakfast buffet that had fresh kiwis, my favorite! Laundry is easy and so is getting into town. Overall, this is a great place to stay!

After our original hostel in cancelled on us, my friends and I were frantically trying to find somewhere else to stay for the three nights we had planned to spend in Barcelona. After ringing around a few hostels, Alberg Mare de Deu de Montserrat were the only ones to accommodate all 7 of us. We arrived very late due to the metros running at odd times because of building works, but this wasn't a problem to them. The building is SO beautiful, as is the surrounding area and it's only a few minutes metro ride into the city, and a few minutes walk from Park Guell. We originally only booked in to stay one night, but the hostel managed to make room for us the next two nights that we needed a place to stay. The price was cheap, the beds were comfy and the staff were lovely. One woman that I think was called Natalia (?) was there for every day of our stay, and she was extremely helpful, friendly and smiley. All seven of us girls want to thank her for making our trip as easy as possible - she really was an angel. We were also able to leave our luggage in lockers and in the office between checking out and our flights which was really nice of the hostel to allow us to do. Overall, a wonderful place with wonderful staff. You really saved my friends and I!
