Tiny single room, short on natural light (window faces a wall) with small LCD TV. The room had a bad smell of sprays(!?) Modern bathroom with good shower. Breakfast is simple but way better than what I was expecting from the reviews (actually above average for my standards for this price range). Really small breakfast room (and you need to... More

Clean hostel, nice staff and spacious enough. I liked the room furniture in particular. We have been good and it is very close to the centre. However it tends to be noisy outside during the night and situated in a multicultural area, although we had no problems about it.

Let's be clear, this a hostal, not a hotel and a horrible one at that. We were attracted by the grossly misleading photos, and advertising that makes it appear light and trendy and welcoming. It's unprepossesing from the outside and that didn't change on the inside. There's only a lift for luggage, so you better enjoy stairs.We'd booked the top... More

Only stayed here for 1 night with my family. On arrival we had an issue which thanks to the man on reception (wish I had his name but due to the stressful situation forgot to take it) the matter was resolved to everyone's satisfaction... I can not thank him enough for that. The Hostel was basic, but seemed to be... More

The hotel was quite average, I really cant complaint for the price we paid. But the street the hotel is in is a completely different story. Looks safe enough but I personally wouldn't go out after dark by myself. All attractions are at close distance and there is a La Rambla tube line 10 min walk from the hotel. So... More

We stayed here mid August this Year 2012. We were well impressed with extremely helpful and polite reception staff- a real credit. Well done. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast acceptable and very good value for money.

Sadly as I am sure has already been mentioned, some booking websites advertise this as a Hotel, of which I am sure by now you have worked out it is not. We had also fallen into this trap, so were at first disappointed. Once you get over that initial shock and rate it as a hostal, you can see its... More

I stayed at this hotel for 3 nights for a weekend break with friends. First of all, it is a hostal, so I didn't expect a hotel. Still the room is very small - it just fits the 2 beds and that's it. No flatscreen TV in the room (although it was stated that rooms had a flatscreen TV) -... More

We stayed 4 nights at Gat Xino in September 2011. Though we didn't expect it to be 5 star hotel it was quite good and had all we need. It's just 10 minutes walk from Rambla and the nearest metro station (Liceu on Rambla and St Antoni in the opposite direction). The room was small but clean and had simple... More

We stayed for four nights and were really happy with this hostel. I had read the mixed reviews on Trip Advisor and so wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. While the room was simple, it had everything we needed; there was adequate storage, coat hangers, a great en suite, comfortable bed, and the room was cleaned every day. The... More
