I booked this hotel because of the location and price, and the description sounded really nice... But... When I read the reviews about this hotel I almost cancelled my booking - I don't know what the people experienced or expected, but I sure don't have anything to complain about! The staff was nice, the room was nice, and the bathroom... More

I chose this place because of its location. This was the only good thing about this Hostel. Rooms were just horrible. I had a wooden bunkbed and my window (at least that room had one) overlooked the drainpipes. The room was dark and hopeless. This was the worst experience I've ever had.

Great location and great price, all things considered you cannot expect much more than you get from this place. I don't know if it has changed in recent years, but I am shocked at some of the reviews! We had absolutely no problems, the beds were average but certainly not uncomfortable, everything was clean, and our room had a fridge... More

Ugly, old and the beds seemed to be camp beds. Not clean not dirty, just ok. Most of the staff spoke English but not very friendly with one exception - thank you Carolina! The location is very good, metro is just a few meters away, Catalanya sq a short walk away and across the street is a 24h cafe-very convenient.... More

This place was recommended by Lonely Planet and Let's Go and was terrible. Very loud, dirty, broken fixtures, and falsely labeled as a "Hostal" when the sign out front shows it is a "Pension" which in spain is one grade below. To their credit, we paid for 4 nights with a credit card, and after a terrible 1st night, they... More

The room was about the same as most 2 star places. The staff was friendly and helpfull, while they offered free internet in their lobby from 2 computers. In addition, they have an onsite washer and dryer, but doesn't seem to work that well (but comes with free soap). The location was definately quiet, but had to walk about 3... More

BEWARE! It's the worst place I've ever stayed in, hostel eden is incredibly dirty, grubby hideous and disgusting. The room wasnt very clean, mainly the bathroom. In each corner (room, bathroom, ceiling) was about 5cm coat of dirt and spider's web. There was filth everywhere, particulary in the bathroom: fungi between the tiles and bath NO SHOWER COURTAIN!

Well for a hostel to call itself Eden was an understatement, yeah rite! The room was clearly a double at most but four of us were crammed in. Easy to find and close to almost everything we wanted to do and the check-in staff were pleasent but the hostel itself and decoration looked like it had come straight from a... More
