Sant Jordi Hostels Rock Palace

This hostel is so incredible! Great organized events, it’s clean, comfy, and hospitable. They made sure I had everything I need to be comfortable and confident traveling in Barcelona. The dinners Bambi, Caro, ilambri made for us were delicious and affordable. Can’t recommend this place enough!

My stay at this hostel was what made my experience so wonderful! I had never stayed at a hostel before, and I’m so glad this was my first experience. The whole hostel was very friendly. From the moment I walked in, the staff was talkative and helpful; even helping me practice my Spanish. They were also helpful during the nights when we went out to the bar crawls together, making sure everyone stayed as a group. One staff member, Bambu, even gave me a list of recommendations and instructions for my upcoming stay in Paris! Outside of the staff, the rest of the hostel is very friendly and social. You can talk to anyone and make some genuine friendships if you want. It’s close to all the metro and bus stations, so you can still go see all the attractions. I can’t recommend this place enough for solo traveling.

I have a lot to say about this place. The reviews and great, and yes, overall it’s fine. But the vibes aren’t very immaculate. The dinners at the hostel are average at best, the breakfast spread isn’t worth it, it’s a very underwhelming spread. The rooms are laid out in a weird manner, lack air conditioning and the front desk has complete control of the windows and the air conditioning. They keep turning the AC off and closing the windows and we were sweating in the middle of the night, three nights in a row. The bathrooms are dirty, muggy and don’t get cleaned often and have a weird smell. The location is a little far away from the main shopping area (pg de Gràcia) and everywhere you want to go seems like a bit of walk. It also seemed like it was not worth the money we spent. But I have commend the staff for being kind and very helpful, to the best of their abilities and giving us enough information about what to do, the tours and other travel friendly tips!

Had a great time at the hostel. The staff was amazing Daves was such a big help showed me to the room and how to use the lockers. I love that you still have access to the common areas after check our and free luggage storage was nice. They offer group suppers or you can use the kitchen to cook your own meals. Would book there again if I come back to Barcelona.

My favorite hostel by far! The rooms were nice and clean, food was good, but the vibes were immaculate thanks to all the amazing staff! Everyone who works here was so friendly and welcoming, especially to a solo traveler! Bambu was the best tour guide, chef, pub crawler, and wingman a girl could ask for. Nick was also an amazing cook and a great personality to have on the pub crawls.

The location is great. The staff is sooo friendly and the volunteers were amazing. I had dinner here and it was a great experience and food was delicious. The room wasn't so great, the 12bed was my last resort because the other rooms looked so nice. This one had a strong sewage smell and dirty bathrooms. Maybe if I had stayed in a different floor, it would have been better

I recently spent three nights at this hostel Barcelona and had an amazing experience. The staff were exceptional, particularly Bambu, whose warm hospitality and local expertise greatly enhanced our stay. The hostel weeknight meals prepared by Bambu and fellow staff was a trip highlight, providing a great meal at an affordable price and a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow travellers. Overall, I would highly recommend this hostel.

The hostel is very clean and kept quite well. There are some nights which are great with a bunch of people with karaoke. Good place to meet people. Some people who need my shoutout is Nicola, Vale and Caro. Enjoy the stay guys! Have fun in Barcelona!

Best Hostel activities. Martin is the best tour guide. Love these guys absolute beauties. 10/10

Really great location and awesome staff, the location has a rooftop deck with spa bath and plenty of area to chill. I was in room 103 and had a large balcony to relax and enjoy the last of the summer sunshine. The rooms are well equipped with two showers and a toilet but you could hear a fair bit of the noise from the bar area below in the evening. Overall I'd recommend staying at this location again for sure.

Clean, safe, attentive staff. Worth every penny. There is also a 24 hour supermarket directly adjacent to this place so you can always get a drink or some food.

I loved this hostel and the location. The staff was all super friendly and helped make my stay very pleasant. I really enjoyed the vibe, and the price. I will stay in a private room the next time since I am getting older and personal space is nice to have. I would recommend this hostel to any of my friends!!!

Hi on Wednesday I checked in Sant Jordi Rock Palace. When I arriaved there was a lot of customers. A black guy who help me to check in. He told me I have to pay €10 as a deposit.Since I made the reservation online, he mentioned that I need to pay taxes. I ask him if I could pay deposit with my credit card and also paid tax included with my card. The black guy said no. He said I need to go to ATM to take out money. I told him that I was unsure if I could go to ATM and take out money since , my bank charge me a lot of money , then this black started to leisure me on that I need to bring cash when I travel and how I don't travel much and if I travel I would bring money. I was very insulted by this so I answered him that I travel a lot and I had no problem with this and in fact that I stayed on another sant jordi hostel and I could paid with card with no problem. Then this black guy said I was rude , that they have a lot of costumers and that they can't talk to me. I told him I'm a coustmers as well. In fact he was the person who was rude , but I never made a comment about it. Then in the end the black guy said I can leave my passport as a depoist , I told him that I was unsure about giving my passport and told him what if I need it. Then he started to comment that I was being spectical , that I don't trust him , that I act that I know better than him and that I don't believe him when he said that I don't need a ID in Barcelona. That I had two option to give my passport or go to ATN directly to take out money. So I gave my passport. Then the other guy who was going to show my room I asked him very normal conversation if there is possibility to pay with my card at first he ignored me and was very irritered at me and I then told him , why you ignoring me while I'm talking to you , he answered that they have a lot of costumers to help and he don't have the time to talk to me , because he needs to go back down snd help the black guy. Then when we was in the room he litsen to me and said that he will see what he can do. After 40mins I called the desk then the black guy screamed at me on the phone and said that I was very rude ( I only asked that I wanted hear what the guy who showed me the room what his answer was ) that I've 10mins to pack my stuff and leave and then he hanged up the phone. I was in the room and was very chocked over the behavior . Then 5mins later the black guy open the room and screamed at me and said I'm the manager and I deciede you to pack your stuff and leave and I'll call the police because youre rude he said and as soon As I was going to ask him what I've done he left the room. Then I went down the desk to ask him what I did , he was not there then I spoke to a guy who arrange the dinner , he was very nice and litsen to me then the black guy comes and says why you talking to him , I said you was not here and I thought you maybe went home. Then he said where is your stuff , youre leaving here. We have a lot of coustmers and youre rude he said. Then I told him here is the €10 because the guy in my room was very scared of the manager that he lent me money. Then the manager gave my passport. The day after when I checked out there was another manager ( I think he speaks Italian as well) in the beginning there was some missunderstanding and I felt like he had something against me then he said that he read on my account that I was a difficult costumer . ( this is very insulting) I told him he wrote this about me , then he said the black manager. When I checked out there was the guy in my room who told the manager that I was not the issue , it was the black manager since said I need to pack my stuff and that he would call the police because I was "rude" and that they had a lot of a costumer and as a manager you expect that the manager would solve the issue instead of creating a issue. This manager litsened and explained that is not allowed for them to keep passport as a depoist in case they get robbed. He was very sorry for the black manager behavior. He explanied that he as a manager is here to solve problems and come to a conclusion. I appreciate him and what he said, but because of this incident I could not sleep and was very scared of the black manager. That's why I'm contacting you know , that I had a hell experience at sant jordi rock palace. / thank you for your time reading this.
