It is a great place to stay for the price. It is clean, has some AC capacity and is kept cöean. Staff is friendly and helpful and keep some fresh coffee available! The facilities (shower/wc) are small. I enjoyed my stay there at a modest cost. The common areas are good for relaxing a few minutes in between excursions and small trips.

Worst experience in my life
I booked Mambo Tango through Booking for a 4-night stay in Barcelona and paid €950. I specifically selected a room with a balcony and was even forced to pay extra for an “additional bed,” which was marked as mandatory. Naturally, I accepted the higher price expecting to receive the room and services I had paid for.
Upon arrival, it became obvious that this place operates on pure false advertising. The room they gave us was absolutely disgraceful — barely 5m², suffocatingly small, filthy, and reeking of mold and stale cigarette smoke. There was no extra bed at all despite charging us for it in advance. The room looked nothing like the photos online, which are clearly misleading and dishonest.
What made the experience even worse was the staff’s shocking behavior. They were arrogant, rude, dismissive, and completely unwilling to help. Their attitude was basically: “accept it or leave,” with zero concern for the fact that we had already paid nearly €950. They refused any refund whatsoever. Since our flight arrived late at night, we were trapped and had no real choice but to stay there instead of ending up on the street.
This was honestly one of the worst accommodation experiences I have ever had. For such an outrageous price, the hygiene was unacceptable, the room was miserable, and the entire place felt neglected and deceptive. We ended up leaving the very next day, losing a huge amount of money and having to go through the stress and humiliation of urgently finding another place to stay.
I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this hotel unless they want to waste their money on a cramped, dirty room and be treated with complete disrespect.

Loved this place! Sweet people. Helpful staff. I loved the neighborhood with it's architecture, tapas, wide range of price options. Easy to get taxis, too. AC was great; we actually got a little too cold and agreed to shut it off. I stayed in Room 3, all women, and everyone was respectful and kind. It’s a low-cost hostel so keep your expectations realistic. But if you just need a bed to sleep in while you explore Barcelona, and save your money for food and fun, this is a great place.

Staff was very friendly and answered all our questions and also gave good local suggestions. It was my boyfriend’s first hostel expense and he was pleased.
Very good location
