Hola Hostal Eixample

Super séjour dans cette auberge, avec des activités sympa les soirs. De belles rencontres aussi, et le personnel est à l'écoute !

Great hostel for Interrailing. Good Aircon in room and sometimes in ground floor common area. Also has first floor common area with pool table and table football and other tables and 2 computers and massive roof terrace, but both of these floors often too hot to use in summer. Laundry with 2 machines and 1 drier. Looks like domestic machines using a quick wash (25-35mins) so not entirely sure if it is a good wash, but others report all fine, except drier not that good. We used an air-conditioned laundry/bar 2 streets away where you have new commercial machines (30mins but designed for this time, with lovely food, drinks and beer). Showers and toilets and wash basins all out of the room, but clean and lots of them. Kitchen ok, no oven, 6 hobs, 2 microwaves, 1 large (and very full) fridges. 2 sinks. No free breakfast of any kind including no free drinks. Cold beer (cans) on sale at reception €2. Towels €3. WiFi good. Beds are cabins type, with light (sometimes too bright and too hot), and electric plug {no usb}). Air con left on in rooms during day so can use. Sometimes turned down at night so it can get hot. Ground floor common area Aircon often on low during day so can also be too hot. Electronic card controlled locker and main door and dorm door entry. No padlocks needed. Large lockers, but not big enough for hard luggage. Can't cook between 11pm and 7am. Common area sometimes closed in the early morning, but can be extremely noisy (our first 2 nights) til maybe 2am from common area (ear plugs and mask recommended). Dorm lights on automatic and switch off at about 11.30pm and on about 8am (or something like that). Machines in common area for snacks and drinks and hot drinks but supermarket directly opposite and many in area. Final recommendation buffet sushi place 3 streets away €15.50 night about €11 in day, no drinks included, air con, can order from picture menu and just keep ordering and keep ordering until you are very full! Have to order at least 1 drink. Relaxed and great. 50mins walk (or take 1 bus €2.40, just swipe your bank card or phone) to magic fountain. Feels safe.

El personal de recepción su atencion es pesima y muy desagradable. Hay un personal de anteojos flaco a la mañana que realmente no tiene predisposición para ayudar. Le pedi un taxi porque no paraban y me mando a una parada falsa y luego me i formo que ellos no podian llamar a un taxi. Muy mal gesto para atender a huespedes
