Great location, fantastic staff & really clean room/bathroom. I wasn't expecting it to be so modern, was pleasantly surprised.

At first, this hostel was somewhat difficult to find. I was standing on the corner of Girona and Ronda San Perre for about 5 minutes before I realized that there was a glass sign (I will use this as my excuse for not being able to find it immediately) on the corner of the street, closer to the Placa Catalunya...

I stayed at Hip Karma a couple of years ago with a group of friends while we were studying abroad. While it is a little tricky to find, it is a super clean, modern hostel with great staff! The beds are super comfortable and the little curtains on each bed provide privacy. The bathrooms were super clean, the location is... More

it is difficult to find, it is at corner of two streets, there is just little sign on doorbell. the advise is "to follow down the street" but you can turn to direction to the sea instead.... there are around many coffee houses and restaurants, including supermarket after 23:00 no showers, no Internet. staff speaks goid English otherwise OK

I've stayed there for 2 nights. It's clean and modern. You can leave food in the fridge. The bed are really comfortable and I also like the curtains around the bed, which gives you a bit of privacy. The down points is the noise, particularly from the street when the windows are open. So get some Ear plugs and you... More

We stayed at Hip Karma for 3 nights, and it was perfect. It was a little hard to find when we first got there, but not impossible. Everything was nice, the people, the rooms, everything. My favorite hostel in Europe so far! They also had brochures in the "lobby" area for different attractions in the city, which we ended up... More

Walking distance from Plaza Catalunya (and even closer to the metro), location wise it is very good, without being in the seedier part of town which has many hostels. Close to Ramblas, the port area and the Gaudi buildings. The hostel had the typical features of mixed dorms - with row of showers where you shed both clothes and inhibitions... More

We don't usually stay in dorms, however we found Barcelona very expensive so we booked with Hip Karma. The rooms are cleaned everyday along with the bathrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking equip, new but small. The entire hostel is new, clean and very nice. I especially loved the curtains that went around the bed giving privacy whilst... More

The little Hip Karma is just 5 minutes of walking from the centre, situated in a safe and quiet zone in a distinct palace. Inside almost everything is white with some cool oriental paintings on wall. Bedrooms are clean and every bed has its own curtain and reading-light. Reception open 24h.
