Ant Hostel Barcelona

Good

  : Well, Its a hostel, so cheap accomadation (cheap furniture etc, we had our own room with bathroom), but very good location, friendly stuff, clean interiors and in February there were not many people in the hostel so if you want just a cheap accommodation to sleep over, it is a good choice.

  : The location right next to the Parc de la ciutadella is Great!
  : The owner was very unfriendly. He saw that I wanted to enter the hostel through the window, but would not open the door for me. I was knocking the door and he still didnt let me in. Only when I rang the bell he opened and then didnt even say hello to me. When I complained that I was at least expecting a greeting back from a receptionist, he was getting mad and complained about my knocking on the door. Furthermore the so called 4-bed dorms are 4-bed-cabins in huge rooms of 16 people in total. The cabins are opened to the top and you can hear the sounds/snoring/telephones of 16 people during the night.The kitchen and common area is partly not working, the cutlery partly very old and dirty and there is no music played or posters on the wall. The mood in general in the hostel is very bad. The owner doesnt treat his employees well, he argues with them and gives them harsh orders.I have stayed in loads of hostels in the world and I have to say that this one was one of the worst!Totally not recommendable!

  : The rooms are extremely small and theres no ceiling very difficult to share such a tiny space with strangers.

  : Honestly nothing - ok location
  : I have stayed in many hotels/apartments/hostels - and I also write fair reviews. This has been the WORST I have stayed in in relation to expectation. Firstly I thought I had booked a private room with private bathroom - however I was led to a room without a lock - just a sliding door!!! My bathroom was the same. How is this private if anyone could walk in at anytime whilst I shower???!!!? The walls of this room do not even go up to the ceiling and so it is lock a toilet cubicle/changing room where anyone can peer over and anytime. Not private. You can also therefore hear EVERYTHING from the neighbouring cubicles (rooms?) - alarms, conversations, music, moving about, footsteps, showed, flushing toilets, breaking wind. I understand this is a hostel but when I book private I expect private like have have done dozens of times before. They even tried to change me to leave my luggage the next day!!!! I have never had that happen when I have stayed. The staff looked embarrassed and actually agreed with me when I complained about this. So whoever owns this hostel needs to have a think - I saw the number of keys unused behind reception, maybe because you false advertise and put money over customers.
