Pars Tailor's Hostel

The staffs are all helpful and kind

The blanket they provide is really just a thin cover. Thinner than usual sheets. Maybe it’s a local thing? But it’s really too thin when the A/C is on.

Overall it was great. Location is great, if you are using metro, Urgell station is very close (L1) and from there you can transfer to wherever you want. I recommend the T-Ususal ticket if you are staying for 5+ days. But a lot of the cool locations like Gothic quarter and others are relatively short walking distance from the hostel. Neighborhood is quiet and lovely. Staff in the hostel is great, I checked in and out easily and they were very helpful and pleasant, there is a 24/7 reception desk. I was in the mixed dormitory section, beds were clean and comfy, each person has their own locker for personal belongings. If you are booking the shared dormitory though, you have to be prepared for not having privacy as much, or people going in and out of the room, making noise etc You get the card for your room and the key for your locker, and receptionist buzzes you in when you return from wherever at any time. Bathroom is shared and clean, and there are other shared spaces. You can meet new people if you are into that. All in all a very pleasant experience for me.

The only negative thing for me was the fact that the terrace is only open till 9 PM, that huge open sky area. Because after 9 PM is the time when it's actually pleasant to chill there in the August heat. But I guess they have to comply with the law of no noise after a certain hour or something so there's that.

Rooms are cleaned every day, kitchen is also pretty clean.

Anything

The design of the accomadation was unique. Not sure that it is really appropriate for the crowd that the hostel attracts . The beds were reasonably comfortable

There was a smell of recreational drugs in the sleeping rooms. The showers and toilets lacked maintenace. The accomadation attracts the 20's / early 30's croud who have little respect for anyone else staying at the hostel. Coming in at between 3 and 5 am and not worrying if they are disturbing anyone else. The place seems to be used by dosers rather than true backpackers
