I stayed at Free Hostels Barcelona for one night. I chose it due to its proximity to Barcelona Sants station - it was only a short walk away. I stayed in a private room with ensuite. It was a cheap place to stay, so my expectations were not high. I would note however that walls were not particularly soundproofed - I could hear people taking in the the adjacent room as I was trying to sleep.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This Hostel was clean and comfortable, and quite most of the time I was disappointed that, at almost 70 years old and having requested a bottom bunk, they were unable to oblige with this. The other difficulty I had may have been related as all communication, emails mostly, was done in Spanish, so I was unaware at times what they were trying to tell me. Now, that's largely my own fault, but they might consider using English as well, as this language is spoken world wide.

My First Hostel Experience – A Complete Nightmare This was my very first experience staying in a hostel – and unfortunately, it turned into a complete nightmare. Exactly what I was afraid of happened: I, a young woman, was placed in a room with five adult men. I was the only female in the room. As soon as I walked in, the room had a strong, unpleasant smell. I felt extremely unsafe and uncomfortable. I ended up crying and decided not to stay the night. Instead, I checked into another hotel while I waited for the staff to resolve the situation. What I find especially disrespectful is that they thought it was okay to put a young girl in an all-male room with men over 40, some of them made inappropriate comments toward me. How anyone thought that was a good idea is beyond me. I’m still traumatized by the experience and would never return to this hostel. To make things worse, the bathroom was filthy and had mold.
