So conveniently located just a couple of blocks from the Plaça Catalona Airbus stop and Passeig de Gràcia metro station, I found many interesting and beautiful streets for walking.
The 8 bed dorm was clean and the shared bathrooms well maintained and stocked with shampoo and soap, a maid came every day to make up the vacated beds. I stayed 5 days and all the roommates who cycled through were friendly. I never locked up my stuff and felt secure leaving everything out but there is a spacious locker for each bed (bring your own padlock) for those who want it. I chose the mixed gender option, mostly but not exclusively men.
The breakfast buffet is wonderful, they even had oat milk which was especially good for me, great self serve coffee machine and fresh items too many to list.
The pool is outside with spacious decks and chairs, the free WiFi is fast and reliable, easy to log on.
Also a bar, pool table and lounge with big screen TV that always had interesting programming on.
I give TOC hostel five stars without any hesitation!
