    I booked 28 hours before and due to flight issues I contacted them just a few hours after to cancel and ask for help/refund by paying a fine that they consider obviously. They told me that I needed to cancel 5 days before, did not offer any help, took all my money and I did not use their services. She also got mad because I told her I will leave a negative review for her poor support. Just Make sure you don't book this hotel for quick travel purposes or through Airbnb. Booking gives you better options. Cheers.

    The staff at Ella were lovely and very helpful and the place was clean, but unfortunately the room we stayed in was awful. It was so small we had no room for our suitcases. The bathroom was tiny with no shelves or hook to hang your towel. The toilet made a groaning noise all night. No window to outside so no natural light - made me feel like I was in a prison cell. The bed was terrible - very hard. Considering we paid €120 I was in shock how appalling it was. We ended up leaving a day early and losing the money. We've come back to Barcelona for the last day of our holiday and stayed at a cheaper place which is 100 times better than Ella and in a better location. Don't be fouled by the pictures on the site - the rooms certainly do not warrant the cost.

    Very noisy all night long. Weekends are a nightmare and weeknights as well, completely disrespectful

    The location is great, within walking distance to many things and several metro stops. The rooms are small and basic but good value, and there is a microwave and refrigerator as well as plates, mugs, cutlery, etc. The one downside is the noise at night which prevented me from sleeping well. Other guests were coming and going very loudly throughout the nights.

    Went here with a friend and our kids. The employees were really nice and helpful. I would probably not recommend this place due to "European breakfast" (dry bread and jam is not what I consider breakfast) and to the lousy bunk beds where I could feel every spring (and I'm lightweight). Also, when I turned off the electric smelly thing another odor took its place - not pleasant. However, on a small budget, I wouldn't hesitate to go here again. The terrace is awesome and everything's clean.

    The hostel is really nice and clean. Our room was really comfortable. The staff is also super friendly. It's very centrally located, so getting everywhere is easy. I'd stay again if I were to visit Barcelona once more.

    Great clean stay at Ella guesthouse! One of the cleanest places I’ve stayed. Sinks in the room were nice, and it had a beautiful terrace. The beds and pillows were comfortable, and the staff was super helpful and friendly! Can’t complain with coffee in the morning, and the location was good too!

    Stayed here for 4 nights. Friendly host and great location. Bit noisy in the morning but nothing I couldn’t deal with. Best price we found for this location.

  • 5/5 Quetzal F. 11 months ago on Google
    Stayed at Ella Hostel in Barcelona and was impressed with the incredibly helpful staff. They went above and beyond to make sure I had a great stay. The hostel itself was comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming and accommodating hostel experience.

    Edited the name as it’s called Ella Hostel and there are two making finding this one exceptionally confusing. Messaged on WhatsApp but ended up finding a free cafe wifi and figuring it out on my own as the response time on WhatsApp is NEVER. Once found - the directions were perfect, bed seems clean, and everything is nice. The front desk lady asked if I was the one that had messaged the next day - yet never responded… weird.

  • 5/5 Three Isha M. 5 years ago on Google
    I definitely recommend staying here if you are visiting Barcelona. The rates for the rooms are so reasonable, the space is nice, clean, and in a wonderful location. My only complaint is that I am a light sleeper, and my room was right off of the common area. So I got woken up a lot! But really that's my own fault, I should have mentioned to them that I needed a quiet room. Big thumbs up on this spot!

  • 3/5 Die N. 4 years ago on Google
    The place is clean but overpriced. We paid 95€ per night for a bed in a tiny room, no bathroom. It was more like a dark closet. We couldn’t even open our bags in the room because it was too small. And it was next to the community sitting area, so we could hear everything at night. It looked nothing like the pictures. We were so uncomfortable and disappointed. I would give 1 point for the room but the good thing is that the staff ladies were amazingly nice (especially the lady with the glasses who makes breakfast and works at the reception.) And they helped us and apologized after some mayor problems with the check-in.

  • 5/5 Greti G. 4 years ago on Google
    The location is perfect, everything was within a walking distance, and the whole hostel was modern and nicely furnished. Towels were provided. There was a nice and spacious terrace. The staff were super friendly and helpful and we could also check in earlier than 2pm. We could also leave our luggage at the reception after checking out.

    Good if you are travelling alone or as a couple and need a well located place to spend the night. Does not provided a lot of amenities, but it does well what is set to do. Give a private place to spend the night in a clean and secure place.
