The rooms are very clean, and towels are changed frequently. The staff at the reception is friendly and welcoming. They allowed us to leave our luggage in a special room before our departure and helped with many little things. We stayed in both a room with a private bathroom and one with a shared bathroom. Surprisingly, we liked the shared bathroom more because it was very spacious. Once again, the cleanliness of the hostel is outstanding, and our group was really impressed. The location is also great, with plenty of affordable shops nearby, as well as vendors selling fresh fruits and vegetables. Don't miss the delicious chicken empanadas and tuna at the nearby café. If I’m ever in Barcelona again, I’ll definitely stay here. The hostel is close to a metro station, and there’s a bus stop that takes you directly to the beach.

The hostal is clean, staff is very friendly and registration works 24 hours. We had shared bathroom right infront of our room and couple more down the hall, it was very clean and convenient. We almost didn't encounter other guests, so bathroom felt like a private one. Also there is a sink right in the room, so you don't have to go to bathroom to brush teeth or wash hands. There was an elevator that you can use, so no need to carry your bags upstairs. It is close to the metro and it was convenient to go to the center from there.

The kitchen is lacking basic kitchenware. Although we didn't eat inside a lot, once needed a knife for our food and haven't found it there.

We loved our stay at the hostel, especially the balcony where we enjoyed our evening coffee. The hostel is charming, with a fantastic location. There are plenty of bus and metro options for getting around, but we often walked to La Rambla, the beach, and the port because they were so close. The staff were incredibly friendly and helped us find the best food and beaches. They even provided detailed information about bus and metro transfers, including the bus numbers. Overall, it's a wonderful place and great value for money. If we ever visit Barcelona again, we will definitely stay at Hostal Apolo 😊

Stayed here for 3 nights in q single room with shared bathroom. In two of the nights I didn’t hear any noise, on the 3rd listened to a bit, but nothing very loud, so I would say it has good enough isolation. It has 3 complete bathrooms. I didn’t had to wait for the toilet any time. The room has a sink, which helps a lot with drinking and brushing your teeth. The b d was comfy and the room had a fridge which was awesome. Also there was a microwave and water boilers in a common area, really cool. Would for certainly return. Has two metro lines close by and a big supermarket

Maybe there can be improvements in the noise isolation between rooms, I heard a bit of noise on the 3rd night from other room, but as I asked the person to reduce the tv volume it improved, but it wasn't that high so it might be possible to improve this.

Beautifully clean tall and airy basic room with a sink, fan, small tv, safe and balcony. Hotel-style bathroom directly across the hall. Fantastic shower. Helpful staff. Nearby Lidl supermarket. Small microwave and kettle area - bring plate & cutlery! Try one of the nearby 365 cafes for breakfast or sandwiches. Good transport links but metro system has MANY stairs, but there is a lift at Para-lel if you can find it. Not far from a great graffiti strewn skateboard area! Close to Port but too close for a taxi! there is a 3euro bus from the quay to your cruise ship - well worth it. Walking distance to La Ramblas, but some less nice streets but still seem safe in the day.

Outside street area is noisy and slightly whifffy drains. Neighbours banging doors on arrival were annoying. NOTE... this building does not look like a hostel. Look carefully on google and you are looking for a small button on the bottom of the intercom of a residential building with the Hostel name on it!!!

Usually “hostal” is associated with a frat house type but this one is really, really not even close to that. Yes, the bathroom is shared but it’s individual/single bathroom/shower. 3 separate ones for the floor. Always clean, air fresheners, toiletries. Rooms are small but i need just a bed so im not fussed about empty tables and extra chairs. Mini fridge was a bonus. Cleaning staff tidied the room while we were out and about which we didn’t expect at a Hostal. Reception provided hairdryer and help with any other inquiries we were having. Definitely recommend.

In walking distance to the Rambla and close to the metro as well. We walked almost everywhere except to the bunkers and airport. Room and bathroom was nice and clean - and was also cleaned every day. Nice and private space if you're basically just looking for a place to sleep and expect to spend most of your days exploring the city (which we did). Staff is so nice and helpful!

If you're looking for a hostel with the purpose of meeting people this might not be the right place. There are no common rooms to hang out, and people therefore keep to themselves. You can hear almost everything going on in the hallway which meant that we often woke up during the nights when people returned.

I really enjoyed the hostel's convenient location and the friendliness of the staff. This was my first trip to Barcelona, and the location was truly excellent. It is within walking distance to many places, and thanks to the nearby metro station, I could easily and safely reach anywhere.

The room was a bit cold, and the wifi connection was somewhat weak. On the first day, I encountered a minor issue finding the hostel since there is no external label on the street. I suggest checking the location on your phone for better navigation and also pay close attention to the doorbell.

Stunning position, you are close to every attraction you could think of visiting, very friendly staff, always willing to help. The bathroom was ok, nearly always available during the day, waits were not so long.

Overall clean, but not excellent. The cups they provided us with were dirty, like the shelf they were on, everything a bit dusty and with some stains. The extra pillows were yellowish, a bit dusty. I would say it was good overall, but it could be better.

It was good, clean, can’t fault it, air conditioning was much appreciated on the day we spent there, 24hr reception, helped us arrange a taxi for an early hour departure. Both receptionists I saw spoke English, so great for me who can’t understand or talk much in Spanish.

While it was pricey for me, it was competitive with the other options in the area, so I would say it is not an issue if you need to be in this area as we were here for the Sala Apolo event just around the corner, and I would recommend this stay.
