Guest Reviews
Location
The hostel is minutes away from popular spots like Passeig de Gracia and Plaza Catalunya, providing guests with convenient access to shopping, dining and cultural landmarks. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the ease of reaching key attractions with many noting the ability to visit sites on foot. The beautiful courtyard terrace and clean, comfortable rooms add to the appeal with a special mention of the friendly and helpful staff.
Overall, Hostal Colkida's superb central location and ease of transportation make it an excellent base for exploring Barcelona, harmonizing convenience with a welcoming atmosphere.
Rooms
However, some rooms were reported to be on the smaller side, especially those intended for larger groups or families. The decor and furniture in several rooms appeared outdated or run-down and certain rooms had issues with heating, air conditioning or dampness. Noise from the streets and between rooms was another common concern, affecting the overall tranquility.
Despite these points, positive experiences were noted—comfortable beds, basic but functional amenities and thoughtful inclusions like mini-fridges and shared terraces. The location of the hostel was frequently praised for its central convenience, adding to the appeal for short stays.
Overall, while improvements in furniture and soundproofing could enhance the guest experience, Hostal Colkida remains a practical and clean option for travelers with a particularly strategic location and family-friendly larger rooms.
Beds
However, the feedback wasn't universally positive. A number of guests reported issues with the beds being either too hard or too soft and some mattresses were described as old, worn out or having uncomfortable springs. Pillows also came under criticism for being too soft or too thin and there were mentions of insufficient pillow provisions.
Room configurations, including multiple bed options and larger family rooms, were seen as a plus. Nonetheless, a few guests noted specific issues like beds moving too much, being unstable or making noise with minimal movement. There were occasional reports of extremely uncomfortable beds and an absence of mattress protectors.
Overall, while many found the bedding satisfactory or even very comfortable, others experienced significant discomfort due to the condition of the mattresses and pillows.
Cleanliness
However, some guests have reported less favorable experiences. There have been mentions of mold, dirt and unpleasant odors in certain rooms and bathrooms. Instances of cockroaches and general uncleanliness in certain areas have also been noted. In some cases, guests highlighted the need for better maintenance with deteriorating furniture and broken bathroom accessories contributing to the overall experience. While many reviewers were satisfied with the daily cleaning services and the overall tidiness, others felt that the cleanliness could be improved.
Despite the variability in cleanliness, the hostel's central location and friendly staff were consistently appreciated, making it a convenient albeit somewhat inconsistent option for travelers.
Staff
Guests commend the staff for their professional demeanor, efficient service and ability to provide pertinent information about the city, contributing to a seamless and comfortable experience. The round-the-clock availability of the staff ensures that assistance is never far away, making visitors feel well-cared for at all times. Notably, several reviews shine a spotlight on individual staff members who have made remarkable efforts to ensure guest satisfaction, be it through negotiated parking rates or simply by offering a warm welcome upon arrival.
Despite occasional mentions of less favorable interactions, these are vastly outnumbered by the overwhelmingly positive affirmations of staff’s friendliness and helpfulness. This consistency in exceptional service makes Hostal Colkida not just a place to stay, but a place where guests feel genuinely valued and supported throughout their visit.
