BOTXO GALLERY YOUTH HOSTEL

Wow, just the price alone was great. Great location on the other side of the Guggenheim museum.

Un hostel que yo creo que no pasaría un control de sanidad.
Literas de 3, juntas unas con otras de modo que como te toque la de enmedio haces piecitos con el de enfrente y el de detrás te acaricia el pelo con los pies. Los colchones no tienen ni protector, mejor no pensar qué puede haber crecido ahí. Además de que mi colchón tenía un hueco tamaño persona que hacía que te escurrieses poco a poco hasta el suelo. Un olor insoportable, no hay ventilación, una habitación conecta con la otra por lo que es como dormir con 40 personas. Hay humedades.
Los baños están sucios, no hay limpieza a fondo, creo que no ha tocado ni una gota de lejía ese lugar. Duchas con moho de la humedad.
No te sientes seguro en ningún momento.
Para Lo que ofrece es muy caro. Si hubiera sido barato entendería las condiciones insalubres.

The reception was super nice and helpful but that’s really the only nice thing I can say about this hostel. The amount of beds stuffed in one room should be criminal. They’re stacked three on top of each other with zero privacy and you’re all facing each other for even less privacy. It felt like being in the room in squid game. You definitely get what you pay for and the location is wonderful but the hostel definitely needs some updating and work to make it comfortable for guests. The lockers don’t have locks and there was a dude moaning and munching on the crispiest apple at midnight which was insane. I wouldn’t stay again but if you really need a place for a night or two that’s cheap- this is your place.

The one thing that was great about this hostel is the location.
There are two dormitories in total with 15 and 21 beds, something that is conspicuously missing from booking.com(it is mentioned on their website though) where they only ever show 4 beds in one room. The two rooms are also not even completely separated meaning you can hear if any of the other 35 people are snoring. Also the beds are triple bunks, meaning that you have basically no room and due to the layout there is also no privacy. They have the beds one against the other with foot/head ends against each other with no separation and in one place the person in the middle bed can only choose whose person's feet they want to put their head next to. There are lockers but you have to bring your own lock, they are also located in the dormitories which makes it that you disturb anyone sleeping while searching for something and don't have light while using them.
The dormitories are also cooled down to a point where you are quite cold at night(I'd guess 15°C) with the provided bed sheet as a blanket, yes a singular bed sheet.
The bathroom and toilets aren't properly cleaned and also all other parts of the hostel are visibly dirty in some places. The showers have horrendous hot water pressure meaning that you're either showering cold or for quite a long time.
The staff also exclusively spoke Spanish which made communication rather difficult, i.e. using google translate for everything.
So don't go here but if you do bring earplugs, a few large towels for privacy around the bed and a lock for your locker.
