2 of my friends and I stayed here on our recent trip to Barcelona. This hostel provides what you…read moreneed in a place to stay and not much more. There were three of us staying in a room and we had our own bathroom. Everything was very clean, and they provided linens and towels. It is located very close to the Diagonal subway station, but it is also possible to walk to Plaça de Catalunya and La Sagrada Família. The breakfast included is simple. I think we paid around 30euros per night per person. The staff at the front desk didn't know much english, which made checking in somewhat difficult, but they were very friendly. They also have free wifi! I would recommend this place if you are purely looking for a clean place to sleep and are on a tight budget.

The staff is nice and helpful and free wi-fi connection is very good, but: - the lift was out of order several times and there was no information about that, - there was no information about the fact, that the pool was not accessible by lift (you need to take a lift for 7th floor and then use stairs), - hotel claims that the cooking lounge is fully equipped - well, it's not. There is no kettle, you need to boil water in a pot. There are no kitchen towels, no bread knife, etc. - rooms are extremely tiny and 2 people can hardly move at the same time, bathrooms are even smaller. I wouldn't recommend, unless you are really on a budget.

THIS PLACE HAS BED BUGS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS…read more I stayed here for six months at the residence section while I studied abroad. I had weird bites all of my body from the first week I arrived at Melon. I hoped they were just mosquito bites and assumed the cleaning staff would have known if there were bugs, since they claim to clean the rooms each week. But they missed the GIANT INFESTATION living under my mattress. After I saw them up close and personal, I told the administrative staff and I cannot describe just how rude and incompetent they were. They never once apologized. They moved me into the hotel section and then made me pay for two fumigations: my original room and the room they moved me into. I wasn't the only person in my program to have bed bugs either. This place is disgusting.
