We stayed here for one night before going elsewhere. It was fine, quite basic, no fridge, kettle etc. Checking in was tricky as we didn’t copy the email which mentioned how to check in. We struggled getting a connection to download the mail to get our code in order to get the room key.
We asked for a twin room and did receive it.
I might stay here again if I was staying for one night again, not for any more than that, after our stay we met friends and stayed further down this road and that place had everything.
The location was good, easy access to public transport, we walked easily to Sagrada Familia and other places of interest.
There is a nice shopping street close by and some great places to eat.

If you would like cheaper and basic

On the + side: 
The room was small but was what we needed. 
It was very clean, from the sheets to the bathroom. 
The hotel was quiet and its location is convenient to go around Gracia. 

On the - side: 
Rooms aren’t equipped with a kettle and tea/coffee. 
There is not individual aircond so it can get warm or too cold.

Overall: 
Good value for money! We recommend. 

Cheap and convenient 

Generally speaking, the hostel was a good experience. The room keeping would come daily and clean a little bit, however it wasn’t particularly good cleaning - they would do the beds and change towels. They haven’t changed the sheets during 5 day stay. Room was all white, so there wasn’t much visible dirt, it was rather clean when we got it. Location was excellent, with 5min walk to metro and some nice bars and restaurants nearby. For the little price you actually get a pretty good quality, however don’t expect too much.

Good value for money

Needed a place to stay for one night in Gracia, Barcelona. Ding Dong  Hostel turned out to be just appropriate for our needs. It was quiet and the room & bathroom were clean and we had a good nights rest before our flight in the morning.

One night in Gracia

We were shocked to see that there was no reception nor the receptionist for this "hostel"! The thing is we are a retired couple not young adults who can only go to hostels. We booked a nice hotel room according to the pictures although the price seemed too high we booked it for Cad $371.36 on the 6th of May for the two nights were coming back on May 17-18 before we flew back to Canada. When we took the taxi there (location is good) the taxi driver couldn't find a hotel, because there wasn't any hotel at the address. There was a locked door with the dingdong hostel name on it. Somebody called Hiam who said he worked there happened to be coming in so he told us the room rates are 20 €,  but it changes sometimes. We realized that moment that we were ripped off so we immediately sent an email cancelling the booking with Expedia. When we came back today we realized that we were charged even though we never stayed in that hostel. This means they are openly ripping people off.
