Location: I can only say it's unbeatable! First of all, the location is really good, close to attractions, only four minutes from Casa Milà. It's in the city center, very close to both the metro and bus stations. Plus, the area feels very safe, right near a luxury shopping street.
Secondly, I booked a female dorm room for four. The bathroom was very clean, had a hairdryer (and it wasn't a bad one!), and even shampoo, which really surprised me since hotels in London sometimes have nothing. The shower area was spacious, and my roommates were all very nice. The mattress was thick and comfortable, and the pillow was great too. With earplugs, I was able to wake up at 11 AM every day and head out to explore, just like a proper vacation.
I was also assigned a room with a balcony, so it had excellent natural light. This apartment even has an old elevator, which I used every day – it was charming and saved me from walking.
Overall, it was a fantastic experience. Compared to hotel prices, this place offered such great value and a comfortable stay. It was an absolute steal. I'll definitely be back next time.
By the way, for those staying in hostels, I highly recommend bringing earplugs, earplugs, earplugs! An eye mask can be useful too, but I think earplugs alone are enough to guarantee a good night's sleep!
