Reviews for Be Dream Hostel

Review 1:WiFi is extremely weak, actually is useless.

Review 2:Very smooth check-in. The staff is nice even the cleaning ladies except the girl receptionist. She is quite rude and arrogant. Everything is very clean. The big dorm is big enough so even if it is full it is Ok. Huge kitchen and chill area. There is soap in the shower and toilets. Huge lockers, I could fit in.

Review 3:Quite hard to find.

Review 4:Make no mistake about it, this is a Hostel, not a hotel. So - good value for money but don't expect any trimmings. But, very helpful front desk, clean and tidy, and surprisingly quiet. Easy bus ride or train into Barcelona.

Review 5:Beds are not comfortable, no internet in the room, you have to pay for towels and extra sheets, room was very noisy from the street, fits more teenage people than older people, location a bit far from Barcelona center.

Review 6:Quite clean, friendly staff, price is ok for a booking on the last minute for two people.

Review 7:It was really close to the subway system so it's really easy to go out into Barcelona, esp. during the weekends since the subway is open all day on Saturday.

Review 8:I liked placement. Being near metro station is good when you arrive at night. I do not searched for hostel too much. Also I liked personnel. They are ready to help.

Review 9:Stayed in a six person room & it was soooooo small could even open locker because it was so cramped! No wifi in room & no air con! Pretty below average compared to the hundreds of places I've stayed. Door was hard to open & close. Showers were horrible nowhere to put your stuff cold water & had to keep pressing the button every few seconds to keep it running! Would rather sleep on the doorstep than in the hostel!

Review 10:It was within walking distance to the beach!

Review 11:Wifi can not be accessed on the second floor, plus it is hard most of the times to access wifi on the ground floor.

Review 12:I like the staff they are so friendly. They fix things with enthusiasm and effectiveness.

Review 13:- No Wifi in the rooms, it's only in the lobby, although it's mentioned here that it's in all rooms. I sent a request to the hostel that I need a room that have a good internet coverage and they didn't reply to me, while they should tell me that there are no Wifi in the rooms. - There were no towels, although it's mentioned here in the double room.

Review 14:- Comfortable room. - Good value vs the price. - Friendly staff. - Near a Beach. - Near a Metro station.

Review 15:A nice variant to spend a couple of days not far from Barcelona! The location is great - just near the metro sation. The sea is in a 10-minute walk! You can also use facilities for some time after you check out - that is really great! Thanx for everything!)

Review 16:We had a 10 am check-in mentioned in booking, so we got there at 11, giving them one more hour. The room was ready only in ad hour. It is ok to have check in at 12, but don't mislead guests in booking information. The room was nice. Hostel lobio and kitchen needs to be updated, they look old and need to be replaced. Maybe it is ok for "travellers", but I don't like to eat in unpleasant kitchen. There are no breakfast included as they say in description they serve cereal. Overall, you get what you pay, it is good for young people and big companies to have fun nearby Barcelona.

Review 17:Few blocks from nice public beach, supermarket. One metro station from Badalona city center. 30-40 min to Barcelona city center. Guys on reception are very nice. 20m from metro station

Review 18:There was wrong information provided either by Booking.com or the hostel: 1. There is NO "double beds" like connected ("marriage bed"), there are two separate beds, despite the fact you have an option to select those 2. Towels needed to be bought extra, so as sheets! 3. WIFI was not accesible in rooms and it was limited (like 30mims per Day) Other than that, the common kitchen was smelly and dirty sometimes, but it was because guests themselves (students and backpackers not really cleaning after themselves)

Review 19:Simple and clean rooms, location, staff

Review 20:The wifi connection couldn't cope with the amount of guests, yes I appreciate a hostel is there to provide basic sleeping arrangements but the mattresses were very uncomfortable.

Review 21:Right next to a metro station, just down the road from a shopping centre. Complimentary breakfast is very appreciated however I was only able to eat once out of my 6 nights as I was up too early for it (starts at 8AM).

Review 22:First night I arrived, my bed was occupied by someone else (which we figured they'd accidentally double booked the bed), had to wait until 4am to finally get another bed. I was upgraded to a 6bd dorm from a 12 for the same price so although a lot of hassle and little sleep the first night, staff eventually sorted it.

Review 23:Free Wifi was great, alongside free breakfast. Place was clean and beds were comfy enough. 2 minutes from the beach with lots of restaurants/take-aways in the surrounding area.

Review 24:The hostel was very far from city centre and the beach. It is not 10 min walk to the beach as they say. No towels provided unless asked for, no one cleans the room, the hostel was dark, the breakfast was horrible and the wifi barely worked. Overall we wish we never went there.

Review 25:the staff were OK.

Review 26:Someone defrosted our Chuffa milk!

Review 27:Reminded me of my student backpacking days..loved the communal aspect..My daughter has a mobility issue and staff were considerate and responsive to our needs..excellent..enjoyed our stay.

Review 28:air conditioning was not working in our room and it took 2 days to have it repaired

Review 29:good location (meters away from metro station, 10 minutes from the beach), very nice and helpful staff, free parking on the street in front of the hostel, excellent value for money ratio.

Review 30:Just one small minus: you should press the button to take shower like in public toilets - but I guess it is OK for hostels.

Review 31:Really centric location, in front of Pep Ventura metro station. Close to Barcelona. Nice and friendly stuff.

Review 32:Internet connection did not really work well on the first floor.

Review 33:Location & quiet stay.

Review 34:There are no comments available for this review

Review 35:Window looked broken - lock

Review 36:Clean,nice stuff,helpfull

Review 37:Small shelf :/

Review 38:Awesome people at the same age, really close to the beach which is so quiet.

Review 39:Everyone was very nice and helpful, i truly recommend this place!

Review 40:Nee towels

Review 41:Oi Oi

Review 42:Certain pieces of furniture are worn and half destroyed.

Review 43:Position next to metro.

Review 44:Location! It is 30 minutes by metro from the hostel to the central area of Barcelona

Review 45:Staff and Facilities

Review 46:Wi-fi connection should be better and in rooms too.

Review 47:Good place, friendly stuff.

Review 48:Did not like how you had to keep pressing the button to keep the water running for shower and tap. The staff weren't always the most helpful or friendly

Review 49:The Location was excellent

Review 50:The breakfast is quite late at 8:00 but that's how they do meals in Spain. No cups for coffee. I used bowl for coffee the first day, then bought my own cup.

Review 51:The location is excellent. The beach is minutes away with a lot of shops and restaurants. The Metro station is practically a few meters away. Badalona is lovely in autumn. Not so many people at the beach and sunrise is awesome.

Review 52:have to move to another room instead of extending to the same room - and give the room available to other client ; it's not systematic I would say

Review 53:near the metro - convenient to travel

Review 54:receptionists often unavailable; frequent problems with our key cards; we got a 4-bed instead of a twin room, and when that started being issue for the hostel, they woke us up in a pretty brutal way to tell us to change the rooms within 10 minutes, not cool; also details like non-adjustable shower head, water needs some time to warm to the right temperature; design of the hotel seemed to be completely random; they really try to save a lot on the breakfasts

Review 55:interesting location, 30 seconds walk from the metro station, 5 minutes from a beach, 10 minutes from badalona center; night bus station

Review 56:Checking in was a long process...perhaps a new staff member...but all staff were very friendly and helpful.

Review 57:Friendly atmosphere and wide cross section of guests...

Review 58:A double room was 2 single beds pushed together. When we questioned thiswe were told there are no double beds in the hostel despite booking adouble online. €2.50 for a towel is a joke. Staff were bored anduninterested. Location was terrible. It's in baldona not Barcelona.

Review 59:Nothing

Review 60:Any disadvantages outweigh the advantages by far. However, our washbasin needed a little plumbing done to avoid leaks. Both the chest of drawers and one of the beds were in a poor state of repair.

Review 61:friendly staff, informal atmosphere (ideal for adolescents), internet access,economical, simple breakfast included, nice cafés/bakery just a minute away, very close to metro, handy for Barcelona and just a 10 min walk from nice beach, hot showers, use of kitchen especially fridge

Review 62:Breakfast very basic. when there are groups in, not enough kettles or toasters. Apart from that, have no complaints.

Review 63:We found the staff very friendly and helpful. rooms basic but clean.

Review 64:Badalona is 20 minutes from Barcelona, but the hostel is close to the metro and the beach, so it's great for a reasonable price

Review 65:Quiet, clean, great staff, breakfasts, close from metro and beach. Our every request was answered

Review 66:We spend a great time in the hostel, the people were nice and created a relaxed atmosphere. The hostel staff members were also very nice and helpful. Thank you for everything and all the best for the future, we'll surely come back!

Review 67:wifi does not work in the rooms and is scatty in the lobby; common area is loud at night with 20 year olds getting drunk; the water flow is not continuous in the shower, you have to keep pressing a button for water flow. receptionist provided the wrong information about getting to the airport.

Review 68:ensuite rooms, comfortable beds, reasonable breakfast selection

Review 69:its a little bit far from the desk to the hotel room

Review 70:basically everything

Review 72:The price was really good for the quality of the room and the breakfast,really nice area and staff :)

Review 73:The staff were really nice and helpful, the room was great for the price, and subway to Barcelona is very close. The beach is about 10 minutes walk.
