My
friend
and
I
visited
this
hostel
during
low
season
late
October.
We
had
booked
two
beds
in
the
four-bed
room.
When
arriving
in
the
evening,
we
found
out
that
they
had
placed
us
in
separate
rooms.
The
staff
member
checked
on
our
booking
in
the
morning,
found
out
we
could
not
be
placed
in
the
same
room,
and
decided
to
not
inform
us
about
this
matter.
According
to
her,
it
was
not
her
job
to
inform
us
about
such
matters,
and
she
also
said
it
was
our
fault
because
we
did
not
proactively
contact
the
hostel
to
check
on
our
reservation.
We
were
shocked
to
hear
this,
and
consider
that
absolutely
abnormal.
With
experience
of
two
months
travelling
and
sleeping
in
hostels,
we
never
had
to
contact
a
hostel
to
check
whether
our
reservation
was
alright!
Being
just
two
young
girls
traveling
together,
we
actually
felt
uncomfortable
being
placed
alone
in
rooms
with
other
men.
She
really
could
not
understand
why
we
felt
uncomfortable
and
why
we
wished
to
know
this
earlier.
Instead
of
understanding
us,
she
said
it
was
our
own
fault,
talking
in
a
rather
unfriendly
way
to
us.
Informing
guests
about
such
matters
is
maybe
not
obligatory,
but
doing
it
means
caring
about
guests
and
it
shows
hospitality.
The
staff
member
discussed
this
matter
with
her
manager,
they
decided
to
make
no
compromises
for
us.
In
the
end
we
had
to
upgrade
to
a
two-bed
room
that
was
free
anyway,
but
we
had
to
pay
the
price
ourselves.
About
the
hostel:
the
interior
is
basic
and
cold,
the
bed
was
very
short
(I
am
1.74
and
my
feet
stuck
out)
and
had
a
hole,
and
the
walls
were
thin
so
we
could
overhear
our
neighbors.
The
common
room
was
a
bit
cold,
and
other
travelers
did
not
interact
with
each
other
so
it
was
hard
to
meet
new
people.
Weirdly
enough
we
only
saw
men
in
the
hostel.
The
hostel
is
nearby
the
train
station
(15
min
walk),
and
about
30
min
from
city
center
by
public
transport.
There
is
actually
nothing
to
do
in
this
neighborhood,
just
some
restaurants.
Sightseeing
or
partying
is
mostly
in
city
center.
We've
particularly
chosen
this
hostel
because
of
the
coziness
and
hospitality
most
small
hostels
tend
to
have.
However,
just
the
lack
of
this
hospitality
was
exactly
the
problem
in
our
opinion.
We
can
understand
boundaries
of
a
small
hostel,
but
we
cannot
understand
the
way
they
dealt
with
the
situation,
handling
in
a
way
that
is
no
more
than
the
bare
minimum.
This
hostel
may
be
a
nice
fit
if
you
want
to
stay
in
a
place
close
to
the
train
station
and
don’t
care
about
hospitality
or
comfy
beds.
Otherwise,
if
you
do
care
about
above
matters,
I
would
advise
another
hostel
as
there
are
plenty
of
hostels
in
Barcelona
with
better
hospitality,
nicer
surroundings
and
cozier
common
rooms
where
you
can
easily
meet
others.
