Sea Hostel Barcelona

Worst hostel ever, very uncomfortable beds, small crowded rooms, very hot inside. Is there an aircon? Also few insects hovering around. I had an issue with the night front desk attendant. I arrived after dinner and asked to extend one night. He told me that he was too busy and could not help me, insisting that I have to do it in the next morning. This staff member was very rude and unpolite, not able to work with the public or in a team. Not happy in saying no to a guest, he complained to me that the blond lady who works in the afternoon did several mistakes, that's why he could not help and asked me (a guest) to complain about her (his coworker) with the manager. I was shocked. After that, I was overcharged one night. The manager, who could not finish a full sentence in English, next morning knew I was not going to stay and promissed a refund. It never happened. After 5 days I called the hostel, sent several emails but no answer. I heard from other guests that it's common that they hold your deposit, be careful. It's a very expensive hostel with poor staffing and dodgy practices!

There was a cuckroach in the bathroom. And no windows inside the room. The commun kitchen is small, and there is no commun area to really meet people and socialize. Still great location, and enjoyable free drink in the morning in the bar downside.

Worst place I ever stayed. Dirty, no windows, cockroach inside the bathroom, the flash broke 2 time in 4 days. The girl receptionist she was always rude, when we arrived it took us more than half an hour for the check in and in our check out she didn’t even know how to give us  refund for the keys that we paid in the check in so we left without getting our money back plus she ignored us while we were waiting for a solution and she start doing something else instead.There was no management to help or to complain any of the days we stayed there. Definitely I’ll never go back and don’t recommend this place to anyone.

Honestly, the only good thing about it was the location, some off the staff are not the friendliest, asked if there was anything gluten free and she told me ‘I don’t know?’  And I told her if I eat gluten I’ll end up sick and she responded with ‘don’t eat then’. Very unhelpful. Also the rooms were not great, squeaky beds, the top bunk bed was like an obstacle course to get off, I’m only 5’8 and I was not comfortable, feet touching the wall. Also when we arrived back at night our room key wouldn’t open the door and one girl needed the toilet badly. So she went to use the public toilet in reception while the man sorted the key and she got properly shouted at. Had around 2 hours sleep due to the fact it’s SO noisy, you can hear people talking and music from outside. The walls are like paper and you can hear people on the other side of the walls conversations.
