Booked a 6 bed shared bedroom with its own private shower and toilet in this hostel close to the centre. The property was very clean and the breakfast plentiful with an assortment of cold meats, eggs ( boiled or scrambled ), different types of bread, hot and cold beverages. There is a lounge area with PCs and a separate kitchen for use by guests. The direct bus from the airport stops only a few meters from the hostel and the Universitat metro is also very close by. All in all a fantastic few days stay in Barcelona.

The best hostel experience ever! Other than sharing a room with few others (which is why it’s a hostel), everything else is HOTEL experience. The common areas, eg lounge, kitchen, laundry, etc are FAR from the typical hostel setting of noisy and cheap. The staff are ultra-friendly. Highly recommended.

Property was very beautiful for a hostel, pleasantly surprised. Staff was welcoming and helpful. Bed was extremely comfortable, one of the best nights of sleep I had! I was only here for a transitioning night, but would not hesitate to stay here again.

Excellent hostel - one of the best we've ever seen. Clean, fun and very well located. Staff were super friendly and helpful with laundry, storage and other questions. Excellent central location including proximity to major metro station.

Thank you for the review!That is amazing to hear ! Thank you for your stay and we hope to see you return in the future. With kind regards, The TOC Hostal team
Really beautiful, clean hostel with a cool fingerprint entry system rather than keycards. One of the more pristine hostels I have stayed in.
It loses a star because the common area felt like a public, fancy bar rather than a place for the hostel guests. That beanbag and card games vibe didn't exist - which is what I think hostels are all about.

Great modern hostel in prime location. Very nice rooms and showers. Private toilets. Social area where the bar is very relaxing with nice music playing all night. Pool is a great feature to cool off. Only recommend is. They should have daily social events and the elevators are a bit slow. Very small cons. I would highly recommend a stay here.

I've stayed at this hostel before and I'm glad I came back. The rate has risen a lot, but it was better because we put a lot of effort into maintaining the safety of the hostel system used by many people.

We loved our stay here. It’s conveniently located for exploring the city center and close to metro. The rooms were very sound proof and beds comfortable. only bummer was that the pool was not in service.

I’ve stayed in most of the TOCs because of the girls-only rooms, this one could be my favorite so far haha, the location is great, it’s very safe and the staff was super helpful and friendly plus it’s close to the bus station that takes you to the airport.

Without question one of the best hostel/hotels in Europe. I only know of one other (in Budapest) that comes close. The best kept secret in town, honestly. Perfect location, cool vibe, chill peeps. Stay away, LOL. This is where I always stay in Barcelona.

We booked a 6 beds private room for 5 of us.(My husband , myself and 3 kids) It was our last day of Barcelona and we had to go to airport by 5am next morning so we were only there to sleep for 7 hours. Our room had 3 bunk beds, (6 beds) and 6 lockers, 2 shower, 1 toilet. I wanted somewhere we can check out at 4.30am and this hostel was perfect as it is 24 hours reception. We thought we might need their help to call a maxi taxi for us but luckily we found one on the street right in front of the hostel. A receptionist was calling a taxi company for us but we found one before he connected to a line. Check in and check out was quick. We had one hour early check in and we walked to Casa Mira and that area. Had a fab Tapas for our dinner nearby. We also used the laundry there (4 euro for a big dryer - Maytag brand! Not sure how much for washing machine) as our previous Airbnb apartment washing machine was broken so I felt like I should have stayed here longer!
This was the first hostel I have ever stayed at and I have to say they have set the bar high for me. They cleaned the room everyday. The staff was awesome! It felt safe with the fingerprint access. Honestly the worst thing was someone ate the loaf of bread I bought lol. It is located close to the metro and between to big plazas which made it easier to find your way back if you got lost. All you had to do was me too one of the plazas and so eone could poi t you in the right direction. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and everyone. Not a party hostel but had the opportunity to have fun nights too...

O ar condicionado do quarto não funcionava, café da manhã poderia ser melhor e área da piscina estava fechada.
A localização é boa
Fantastic hostel! Better than most hotels I have stayed in! Location rise perfect for getting around Barcelona . Metro around the corner and lovely shops bars and restaurant all within 5 mins
Hostel was welcoming and clean! Bar area was amazing and had some fun events on like silent disco and general club nights.
The real bonus is the pool area! With the small pool and plenty of places to relax in the sun!
The rooms were modern , beds comfy and showers and toilets was always clean
For the price and location you couldn’t ask for more!
