If you are looking for a cheap bed and don't mind noise, dirt and strangers in your bed...this is a great place to start. We only stayed 2 nights here when we first arrived in Barcelona, It is very hard to find as it is actually in an upstairs apartment. The dorms are in the three main rooms of the apartment. One dorm has 4 beds and the other has 8 bunk beds. There is a common dining room with one internet computer. There is a kitchen...with limited utilities. There is only one bathroom and one toilet for all guests to share! The bathroom and toilet are absolutely filthy...the bathroom had green mould on the bottom and all along the sides (wear your thongs!). The toilet and kithcen were preeety much the same...DIRTY! The three people managing the hostel stay awakw playing loud music all night and then just laze around and sleep all over the place (on the lounge and in the beds) all day. My fellow traveller got out of his bed one night and when he returned the 2 of the managers (the young couple) were sleeping in his bed! He had to wake them up and ask them to get out. On the third day I moved to a more establish hostel (Hostel Biares) where they informed me that the Kilpparis is not a registered hostel and is in fact illegal! No real surprise there. You honestly share one toilet, shower and internet computer with 26 other people...not fun waiting in line. Money wise it was ok...18 euor per person per night. In all honesty it would only suit someone who could REALLY rough it out. I recommend paying 5 euro more per night and staying at the very nice Biares Hostel...just 10 meters down the road. You have all been warned :)

kilppari hostel is the worst hostel i've ever stayed in and i've been to quite a few hostels already. the location yes, is just in the middle of the gothic area--- it's only advantage-- but you will have a hard time looking for it. we booked a room for 4 people but on our second night (we couldn't change because all other hostels were fully booked) they added in 2 extra beds, one of which was occupied by a couple. the state of the room is a total mess as well. i think also think the bathroom and toilet have not been cleaned in ages. we also had a problem on our second morning because they locked off the batroom area so we couldn't even use it. we hurriedly checked out of the place and i think it's the best move we ever did in barcelona. so if you are going to book this place, good luck!

I've booked this hostel for 3 days but i didn't spend there even one night... It's because when me and my girlfriend arrived it was closed :| We was at the place at 1 AM but the reception should be 24h - it wasn't... At night we had to look for a place to stay - we found GREAT youth hostel about 20m from Kilppari. I've already payed a reservation at Kilppari (THAT MONEY ARE GONE!). Next day Kilppari Hostel contacted me but I didn't want to live there... It's unsure. I was there to talk with the owners... it seems nice but I NOT recomend it. You never know when it would be closed!

"Sad that a ok hostel is run by a guy who can't handel it."

A very unorginezed hostel. And it was a very unprofesional way of running a hostel. Their level of english is very low which makes it impossible to get back you deposit (I don't think they understand the word deposit.)
