Great find
Great set up for the private rooms. Clean, modern, comfortable. The window overlooking the street does let in sounds when people are being loud on the street. It was fine during our stay though.

Very nice stay for the money, the room got very hot but that was a minor issue, they look after your bags for the rest of the day after checking out and they allowed us to check in at 2.30 am free of charge

8/10 Very Good

Hip Karma Hostel was a great place to stay! We were a group of 14 people so booked the 8 bed and 6 bed rooms (both private - only us). The bathrooms are shared with everyone in the hostel but we had no issues with this - they were kept clean and tidy, and no queues. The only issue we had was that you have to pay for bedding (not included on booking), and even though we booked the whole room, we weren’t allowed a key to the bedroom. The person at reception had to keep opening the bedroom door for us every time. Luckily there is someone on reception 24/7, but for security reasons, it was a bit uncomfortable as anyone could say they are in that room. But overall, a great stay and would come again as a big group.

Rustic and Nice.
The booking was very last minute. It’s a nice place that’s a bit rustic and bohemian but not a people factory like other hostels in the area. The staff are very nice. There’s a kitchen to cook if you wish and a great terrace in the back of the building.

I recommend it
* Location: Easy walk from bus drop off and the center of town and other locations. Address is odd because you need to round the corner a bit to find the entrance. Tons of markets and restaurants everywhere. Health food diagonally across street. You'll need a flashlight or phone to get through the hall after entering. * Interior: Very modern. 24 hour staff. Computers available. Staff helpful. Cleaned every day but with so many people could use more. * Beds: Typical bunk beds with personal light and charger and curtains. Comfy if industrial, Sheets provided. Wifi strong in bed area * Cons: Typical hostel. People might be loud or snore. I had a good stay with caretaker asking people to quiet down and no one snoring in my 6 plex

Great location but awful bathroom
Perfect location although not easy to find as no sign on building, just number. Bed very uncomfortable, sheets rough. Curtains on the beds allow privacy but guests appeared more disrespectful and disruptive when they can’t see you’re there. The bunk rattled so much when another guest was on the bed above me. Jolted awake very time she moved. Female bathroom was awful, right next to kitchen so you have to walk past the whole hostel just to get there. Door was constantly wedged open because of lack of aircon so there was no privacy. No space to change, broken shower doors. No toilet roll for most of my stay. Overall it was very clean and the staff were nice, but zero comfort.

4/10 Fair

Meh.
First of all, I'm not the hostel-type of person - that was my first and most probably last hostel experience per se. Let me start by saying that the staff was very friendly and helpful so that's already a big positive. The rest however.. not so much. The "hostel" is just a flat equipped with bunk-beds distributed across 4-5 rooms. All the rooms are facing the street and consequently there's a lot of street noise coming in from cars and busses. The street on the corner is also at an intersection so it's 2x the noise. The rooms are very spartan - basically only a bunch of bunk beds against the walls. The bunk beds had curtains so that's somewhat positive, however they were fairly uncomfortable to the point that I had back pain in the morning. I didn't really feel like I can relax. If you are a hostel-type of person maybe that's a perfectly acceptable hostel, but I don't think I'd stay there (or in any hostel) again.

Nicest staff and friendly atmosphere
I stayed for 2 weeks in august. Really friendly staff and 24-hour reseption. Cleaned often, and the bathrooms were nice :-) the Internett connection was really good. Possible to cook dinner in the kitchenette. You have to pay for bed sheats, I wish that was included, and a lock. It's easiest to bring your own lock for the drawer. The nicest hostel I have stayed in so far! Would recommend this room for everyone!

Great hostel for the price
This was my first hostel stay, and it was quite good. The location is superb, but relatively quiet as well. The staff is very helpful, which is nice if you don't know much about Barcelona. One of the nicest features is the curtains on the beds, which allow you not only privacy but darkness for sleeping. The beds themselves are comfy too. Wifi worked great the whole time. I would certainly recommend this place for someone looking to stay in Barcelona on a budget!

Overall, hip karma was good. The only thing I have to say negative about this place is the face when I got there I had to pay an additional €4 for a pillow, blanket and sheets.

Smokey stay in standing water
Access to computers was nice. Not much a of a living room/hang out space though. Small but equipped kitchen was perfect. Also there's a grocery store on the same block. The staff was very friendly and spoke English well. Problems: though the showers were hot, there was standing water in all of them. There was also standing water in the sinks. Awoke with one huge bite after my first nights stay. The room smelled like cigarettes from people smoking out the window.

Cool place, cool neighborhood. Would go back
Stayed here for two nights on a solo trip to Barcelona. A bit hard to find (seems to be a consistent theme with this kind of budget place) but located in a pretty cool area that's close to tourist stuff and good restaurants. Bathroom smelled funky at times and was crowded in the mornings, but the rooms were great! Privacy curtain makes all the difference in the world. Bedding is comfortable. Would definitely go back.
