Alberg Pere Tarrés

Pleasant

  : Breakfast was amazing such as the staff. Wonderful people. From receptionists, to securities at night and cleaning guys.
  : Properties like this should have strict hygiene rules and indications. I stayed in a 8-bed room and 5 of the people were a group in their 60s that were completely out of the blue. They treated that room like it was theirs. Towels on the floor, cups with tooth stuff (yknwim) and the worst of all they did not respect the cleanliness of the bathroom. There should be some ways of avoiding this behaviours. I didnt feel comfortable at all to go to the bathroom and to take showers because everything was always so dirty. The Hostel is not guilty of the bad luck with my roommates but it really influenced my overall opinion.

  : The mattress was comfortable, the room was clean and the shower was decent.
  : I left a cash deposit when I checked in. I forgot about this and when I checked out I gave the key to the receptionist and asked if there was anything else that I had to do. He said 'that's everything from my side' and so I left, only to find the deposit paper in my bag 2 days later. I contacted the Hostel and sent a picture but they denied that I returned the key! They even told me at what time they recorded my check-out and said they billed my key as lost 5 minutes later!! How could they record me as checked-out if I did not return a key! I am no thief and did not lose the key - check your CCTV! I even asked if there was anything else when returning the key. The same receptionist answered my initial messages online and then stopped answering. Very dishonest and poor experience. It made my stay unneccessarily more expensive. In addition the bed wasn't ready at check-in time. Told to go around Barcelona and come back later.

  : Inside the room was a toilet separate from the shower; quiet footlockers; individual power outlet; strong WiFi throughout; and large guest kitchen. The hostel is short walking distance from Numancia tram stop (and longish walking distance straight up from Sants Station). The inclusive breakfast is worthwhile despite the overcooked mini croissants :) I really liked the coffee machine which offered a selection of hot drinks. The hostel has ample lobby sitting and ground floor terrace.
  : The individual nightlight projects straight out from the wall and since the beds have no privacy curtains this "reading light" was the furthest thing from private. The room only had one chair and no coat hooks.

  : The reception staff were all helpful and friendly. Everything was clean and functioned well. The breakfast included was more than expected considering the low price paid. Also liked the location - it's a away from the town centre but better that way as I didn't want the hassle and street crimes so common in BCN.
  : The air-conditioning unit was switched on and made loud noise - couldn't work out how to turn it off.

  : the young reception staff great
  : its a huge hostel so you have a LOT Of people but a lot of them were kids or like tour groups that came all together so you have zero chance of socializing actually. no good area to hang out - noo comfy couch. the common area is the lobby
