Terrible experience, would not recommend.
I stayed at Sea Hostel and was extremely disappointed with the experience.
The room was dirty, the toilet was not clean, and the mattress was completely worn out — you could feel the springs through it. The air was damp and uncomfortable, and since the windows are left open all day, it was impossible to sleep because of the constant noise from the street.
When I politely reached out to the manager to request a partial refund (and even offered to leave peacefully without asking for a full refund), I only received a generic response claiming that “cleanliness is strict” and offering me a free breakfast instead — which honestly felt insulting considering the situation.
The photos speak for themselves: this place is not properly maintained and looks nothing like the pictures online. If you’re coming to Barcelona to actually rest and enjoy your stay, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. There are many better hostels nearby for the same price or less.
I rarely write reviews, but I feel it’s important to warn other travelers. I wish someone had warned me.
