Barcelona Pere Tarrés Hostel

It's clean, and the staff are friendly even when overworked.

I had terrible sleep here. A lot of crowds and really inconsiderate people. One couple came back at 2am and then spent 2 hours loudly packing even after I asked them to be quiet. They said they had a plane to catch. A lot of others coming in in the early hours and being really loud. I chose this hostel as it was further out from the city so I thought I might get a good night's rest, but sadly not the case. Also, the breakfast is not vegan friendly and they lock the kitchen until 10am so you can't access things like your own vegan milk or yoghurt. Finally, the reception is always busy and it seems incredibly understaffed. The staff were friendly, but I couldn't ask them questions I wanted to because the queue was really long. There is no real social space or any space to get any work done either. There are some spaces near the reception, but they are not comfortable or quiet enough to get anything done. Nor are there any places to just meet fellow travellers or to chill.

breakfast was quite well.

Staff response when they rented my bed to someone else by their own mistake wasn't very well. The receptionist didn't make an apology even and she continued repeating this word that was my colleague's mistake.
