The Hipstel Parallel - Barcelona

I had a fantastic value for my money, with well-appointed rooms and fast internet. The location was perfect, close to the metro and major attractions, and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

The food for breakfast could have been better.

The vibes were awesome, the staff were really nice, and the terrace was amazing. Ryan, the front desk staff, was super helpful and fun.

Felt like it was our own home, no complaints whatsoever.

The Hipstel Parallel is a cool and reasonably priced hostel, situated in a fantastic location. the street it's on is full of cafes and restaurants, including some lovely tapas places. the receptionists are very helpful, giving great travel recommendations and speaking many languages well. the rooms are clean and each bed has a charging station and lockers for secure storage. the bathrooms are well-kept with hot water showers. There is also a charming patio upstairs, perfect for smokers or those who want to enjoy the Barcelona sun.

Felt more than at home, no complaint.

Friendly and attentive staff, clean facilities, convenient location, and a vibrant atmosphere.

There were a few drawbacks, such as the lack of privacy due to the absence of curtains in the rooms, and the lockers not working properly. Additionally, the room had an unpleasant smell, and some guests were noisy at night.

my recent stay at a hostel in Barcelona was amazing! Hipstel Parallel exceeded my expectations with its great location, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere. It made my Valentine's Day trip unforgettable.

uncomfortable atmosphere

We had a minor issue upon check-in where someone was mistakenly assigned to our bed, but the receptionist quickly resolved the situation and found us another bed. The staff was understanding and accommodating throughout the process.

Good location, close to metro and with 24hs reception. Free padlocks provided and decent breakfast for 3€. Free dinner with tips expected. Clean bathrooms. Staff was amazing, polite, and organized. Laundry service, kitchen facilities, and shower room for people with disabilities. Music taste was great. Free croissants, coffee, and OJ for breakfast. Clean and comfy beds and dorms. Powerful showers. Fast internet and Wifi. Nice roof terrace.

Great location - conveniently close to the metro and surrounded by plenty of good places to eat and drink.

Lack of cleanliness - the hostel was in need of a thorough clean, with dirty floors and bathrooms that didn't seem to be cleaned regularly.

I gotta say, I got a great bang for my buck staying at this place. The room was cozy and had everything I needed. Plus, the location was spot on and the staff treated me like a VIP.

The breakfast selection could use a little improvement, could have more variety.

Staff helpful. Location handy. Bed surprisingly comfortable. Neat terrace for hanging out. Clean washrooms.

I had an incredible stay at a hostel in a great location with friendly staff. the hostel went above and beyond to create a welcoming atmosphere, with activities like free tours and dinner. I loved meeting fellow travelers and the vibrant environment of the hostel. It was the perfect place for solo travelers like myself to connect with others and have a memorable experience. The hostel was also conveniently located, with nearby restaurants and easy access to public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. Cons: Nothing 🙌.

The hostel's location is excellent, with close proximity to public transportation and the main attractions. the staff is friendly and helpful, providing great service throughout the stay. the rooms are clean and come equipped with air conditioning for comfort.

The breakfast setup could be improved, as it requires taking the elevator with trays from the ground floor to the dining area on the first floor.

Location was great, close to many attractions and easy access to public transportation. The staff was friendly and helpful when needed.

The pictures on the website did not accurately represent the actual state of the hostel. The rooms were small and poorly maintained.

During my recent stay at the hostel, the location was fantastic, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby to explore. The hostel had a 24/7 reception, convenient for any questions or concerns. The kitchen was relatively clean and the terrace was a nice addition, although it could have been better maintained. The low price was a definite plus for budget travelers like myself.
