TOC Hostel Barcelona

The staff was amazing. Very helpful and very friendly. Unfortunately all of my stuff got stolen when I was at the beach and the TOC staff really went out of their way to help me in the nicest and most uncomplicated way. This meant so much to me in this difficult situation. Also, this place is really exceptional for a hostel. Everything was kept very clean and tidy. The room (I was in an 8 bed mixed dorm) was spacious and had big windows to the very quiet atrium which created a really nice atmosphere. During the night the dorm was very dimly lit through these windows, just enough to not bump into anything on the way to the bed, so there was no need to turn on the lights and disturb others. The beds are semi-closed cubes and quite spacious so they are a really good trade-off between privacy and not feeling caged. The mattress and pillow were comfortable. One of the best features of the room was its architecture. The entrance area of the room simultaneously served as a large en-suite bathroom with large mirrors and sinks from which one could enter two separate shower cabins and a toilet cabin. The actual dorm was behind the entrance area with a separate door. This setup was nice because the bathroom area was much more private than the typical shared hostel bathrooms but the actual dorm was still very quiet because of the separation. So people could use the bathroom in the middle of the night or do stuff that requires more light without disturbing anyone. The lobby was beautifully furnished with lots of comfy corners and sofas, working spaces, a pool table and a bar. The kitchen was well equipped. I didn't try the pool or the breakfast, but heard from other guests that it was good. Speedy wifi was also great. Overall I was really positively surprised by this place, it was lots of little thoughtful details that made it feel very nice, but again, it was the super friendly staff that made the place really stand out to me. Would absolutely recommend.

Everything about this place was great. The location is perfect if you're visiting Barcelona for a few days. The room was large enough for 3 of us, it had A/C and large windows to cool the room down nicely at night and let in plenty of light during the day. The common areas were spacious and welcoming. I appreciated that you could use a keycard or your fingerprint to open the doors. The building and surrounding area felt safe and secure.

My room overlooked the pool which was nice even though I didn’t use it. It was bright and spacious with 12 beds inside. Was a clean hostel and modern. The bar area is a good social hangout to work and meet people. I made friends with a few people and we made a group to go to a nice dinner with. Wi-Fi was strong!

The property was in a great location close to the metro and bus stops walking distance to La Rumbla and Markets. The rooms were great 6 share female allowed for great storage space and the showers and toilets are inside the room which is great. Each person had their own bathroom container to put toiletries. Only problems is the shower needs to be cleaned more often the bathroom space. Kitchen and rentable lockers were great areas downstairs for pre check in. I also loved not having a key and using my finger print to unlock my room made life so much easier.

I liked the area; is very close to the city centre and well connected by metro to most stations and places within Barcelona. The room were clean and tidy, and loved the common areas.
