Generator Barcelona

When I arrived on the first day, the bedding was dirty, and there was strange dust on the pillows. I thought this was how it usually was, but then I saw that the bedding was clean after others checked out. However, after staying for four or five days, they did change my sheets and duvet covers, so I found it acceptable. The kitchen only has a small microwave, which is only good for heating up simple food, not for cooking anything substantial. This place seems to host various groups frequently; during my stay, there was a group of kids on a training trip, and it felt lively and noisy every day. The room is small, and the hallway is quite narrow, so privacy is a bit lacking, but hanging up some towels for a bit of cover was acceptable... The staff were all very nice! The location is decent; you can walk to Casa Mila and Casa Batlló, and taking the bus is quite convenient. However, it feels like a 15-minute walk to the nearest metro station, which is a bit far.

This is my second time staying at this youth hostel, and it's still as great as ever. The location is especially fantastic; I spent 5 days exploring Barcelona and was able to walk to many famous attractions like Casa Milà, Casa Batlló, Sagrada Familia, and Hospital de Sant Pau. It's just a 5-minute walk to Passeig de Gràcia, and we even caught the Christmas light-up ceremony, which was wonderful and super convenient. The room price is reasonable too, though they don't provide toiletries. Everything else was perfect.

The bathroom was tiny, and the blanket had bugs. The table and chairs in the room weren't clean, making for a very uncomfortable sleep. The air conditioning was freezing, and the duvet cover also had issues. But then again, you shouldn't expect too much from a hostel.
