"Excellent hostel for backpackers! Very clean, with great staff! Marta, Igor and Pablo will go out of thier way to help you and make your experience in Barcelona the best it can be! Very highly recommended. Be aware this is NOT party hostel, if you're looking for a laid back, chill, respectful hostel, you won't find better than this!

"Mis más sinceros agradecimientos a Adela, Igor, Jean, Marta, Pablo y Youssef por el apoyo y el buen trato que me dieron durante mis primeros días en Barcelona. Sin duda no pude haber llegado a mejor lugar que a este hostal. No tengo más palabras. Estaremos en contacto y espero visitarles pronto. Felicidades por el "segundo hogar" que ofrecen a visitantes de todo el mundo. Mis mejores deseos! Un abrazo! Saludos!!

"Great location 10 minutes from the Ramblas but away from the madness of the centre of town. Poble Sec is a cool area. Hostel very chilled, kept clean and with interesting mix of people staying here. The staff are friendly, fun, helpful and absolutely first class. Recommended without hesitation!"...Close

"Hi everyone, I can absolutely recommend this place! If you want to hang out with nice chill out people this is the place. You will find nice people that are ready to party and respect the night rest of others! It's located quietly, but very close to the metro and the ramblas is less than 10 minutes walk. I think this hostel combines everything you need for a fantastic stay in Barcelona!!"

Great little hostel nicely tucked away very near the centre with easy access to wherever you want to go. The staff are genuinely friendly and helpful with everything that you might need. Lived up to it's reputation as a hostel that you can get some sleep in. Good shower and toilet facilities. Has a very nice chill out room with a good atmosphere. Highly recommended

"hostel is incredible. you will meet some very fun people in the common area, and igor and pablo (who work at the hostel) are the most fun and friendliest people i\'ve met. Off of las ramblas so its a bit more quite which is great, there is a great restaurant if you go up the street and make a right near the hostel (restaurant has a red interior), go there. This hostel is one of my all time favorites

“Truly an amazing place to stay - right up there with the best in the world. These guys should be on Lonely Planet guides!!!”
Krishna - India | Male 25-30 | 06th October 2008
“One of, if not the best hostel we have stayed in. The atmosphere and friendly staff there are amazing. The hostel is small and homely (and it is their home!), and Toti, Ju and Marina go out of their way to make the trip as nice and enjoyable as they can. The place feels extremely safe, comfortable, and the shower area is very nice. The rooms are clean. But the best thing about this hostel is the staff, atmosphere and what the hostel is trying to achieve. Awesome.”

“It's hard for a hostel to build community with the people staying for such a short term, but Mambo Tango does easily does that, with their friendly family based business, putting focus on building a community with the travelers that came and go. Thanks for a great weekend away!”
David - Canada | Male 25-30 | 28th September 2008
“This the best hostel I stayed in my two months traveling, its a real backpackers hostel! Marina, Toti, Ju and Alejandro were great and really make you feel at home and taken care of. This is the only hostel I would ever stay at if I return to Barcelona. This is not the hostel for you if this is a weekend trip and all you want to do is get wasted, this a place for backpackers!”

“O que faz do Mambo Tango um Hostel tao especial eh a preocupaçao do casal que o administra em criar um ambiente de convivencia, onde pessoas possam se encontrar e trocar experiencias. O tratamento eh personalizado e existe um desejo real de que o backpacker desfrute o melhor de Barcelona. A cidade, que jah eh linda, fica ainda melhor no Mambo Tango. ”

“Wirklich gutes Hostel, würde jederzeit wieder hin! Es gibt nichts daran auszusetzen, im Gegenteil, eines der besten Hostels in denen ich je war!”
Christoph - Germany | Male 25-30 | 19th August 2008
“I am an experienced backpacker, and this is definately the BEST hostel that I have stayed in across all of Europe and Africa. The staff are warm and welcoming, and will try to accommodate any requests that you may have. The location is more authentic than something that you would find closer to the Ramblas, but it\\\'s still an easy walk away. I stayed an extra week in this city, which was absolutely related to my experience at this hostel.
JC - Canada | Female 18-24 | 05th August 2008
“Tengo que decir que e estado en varios hostales en diversas partes del mundo pero ninguno me a llenado tanto como lo a hecho este, si quieres descansar y vacacionar es lo mejor mas aparte que encuentras toda la ayuda para trasportarte en la ciudad y te aconsejan a donde ir, ahora que si vas solo no hay problema es muy facil hacer amigos alli mas aparte que el hostal siempre tiene cosas que hacer por las noches lo recomiendo totalmente!! “
Abraham - Mexico | Male 18-24 | 09th August 2008
“Toti and Marina were wonderful, wonderful hosts! Everything and everyone was great! I especially appreciated the free meals (Marina is a great cook!), the chill out room with a huge TV and great supply of movies, and the free internet. Could not have asked for anything more! Oh yeah, the location is perfect...right next to a metro stop, 5 minute walk to La Ramblas and 10 minute walk to the beach. Super clean too - thank you guys!”

“Mambo Tango is fantastic! More than just clean, good location, and very secure, you feel totally comfortable while there. Good music, good atmosphere, and awesome owners/staff. Toti and Xu are great people that you instantly feel relaxed around. They're glad to help you make the best of your time in Barcelona. Also, they make sure that other people staying there are respectful. The vibe at Mambo Tango is fantastic -don't hesitate at all to stay here!”
