It was a room for 3 people and one of the beds was broken. The remote for the TV was broken, or the batteries were dead. The towels had holes in them and they had a bad smell. The bathroom was not clean. The water coming out of the shower head was not strong because most of the water was leaking from the side of the shower head. They could improve a lot the room without spending a lot of money. It is not worth the amount of money they ask for it. Will never stay there again.

Room was clean and in the city centre, accesible to attractions nearby. The room was not as nice as in the pictures. Towels were not changed daily. Worst, room 6 had a lot of noise coming from the air conditioning box next to the window panes. heating was hot whole night without being able to switch it off or change temperature. The airconditioning was not working, was only switching on with the remote but doing nothing. Staff was kind.

A kettle in the room would have improved our holiday no end. The shower head needed a serious clean and the air conditioning unit didn’t work properly. Apart from that we enjoyed our stay no end.

Honeymoon stay in Spain
This was my fist trip to Spain and staying at Hostel Artistic made it great. The location was perfect for us to walk about or get on a bus and venture about. The taqueria on the corner had great food. Always felt safe. Overall very happy with our experience.

Great Location
The Hostel is very well situated - close to La Rambla and the harbour. This is not a luxury place to stay but if you only need a bed in Barcelona I would recommend it. As we paid the hostel in advance we managed to do a self check in, we received the codes by email and from here everything was very straightforward. We did not see any member of staff or any other customer from the hostel, the place was very quiet, we could only hear the noise from the street activities at night but nothing that can prevent you from a good night sleep. The bathroom and room were clean, but can be modernized.

Bathroom only had one roll of toilet paper and no shampoo, just the handsoap. But I'm sure that's something they could fix

Decepcionante
El hostel está en muy buena ubicación. Pero la limpieza es horrible, nada más entrar en la puerta encontramos basura en el suelo que no se sacó en todo el dia. Cuando entramos en la habitación hemos encontrado un cajón roto, los cojines sucios, pelos en el suelo,la cortina muy sucia y la ducha negra. Mi pareja y yo somos alérgicos al polvo y nada más entrar nos empezó a picar todo el cuerpo. No hay recepción 24 horas y no cogen el telefono. Mucha decepción y podría ser un buen hostel gracias al sitio dónde está ubicado. Una lástima.

Definitely not worth your money. The location is perfect, and the staff helpful. For example they don’t have cleaning everyday but once I asked them to change my towels they did that in less than an hour. Otherwise, the sheets were untidy, there were marks on the table, only two channels on the tv showed, the fridge didn’t function well, there were foot prints and other marks on the walls, the toilet didn’t flush well and the shower kept going from ice cold to too hot. Also you can hear everything from the streets so it’s quite a noisy location. Wouldn’t recommend.

Péssimo
FUJA DESSE LUGAR - Difícil encontrar o local, já que existe apenas uma placa minúscula de indicação na porta do hostel. Recepção e limpeza inexistentes. Apenas atendimento telefônico e precário, pois o atendente afirmou que não existia reserva quando pagamos a vista. Quarto sem aquecimento, com aparelho desligado e sem forma de acioná-lo, deixando a habitação muito gelada, com vento entrando pela janela,que não fecha toda, e também por uma janela do banheiro, cujas frestas tentaram fechar com papel higiênico. As acomodações são diferentes das fotos mostradas nos anúncios.
