Slight smell in lobby area.

Wonderful stay
The Hotel was very centrally located and it’s looks just like you pics online.
Rooms were very small

I would totally recommend it to a relative or friend.
The location was perfect and the staff very kind.
There wasn’t enough water pressure in the shower.

Nice
The location is really nice and safe. The wifi is very fast (fastest i ever seen )The café near the hotel is good.
The lift is old-fashioned but still ok. The bedroom is smaller than i expected but this can be ignored.

Disappointed this time
I’ve stayed many times and love the location.
We were in a separate building down the street. The feel of the place has changed we couldn’t access the common areas as they were locked. Had to use paper cups to make a tea as there was only one cup in the kitchen everything else locked in the breakfast room. Couldn’t access the terrace after the breakfast room was locked up. Had planned to use the restaurant and bar but private functions prevented that. I have always loved staying here but don’t think I’ll be back.

Cozy & vintage
The location and ambiance.
the room is quite small and no TV.
16 December 2024
It was the best hostel experience I've had.
I liked that you have a fridge and breakfast area on the first floor. I was told about it by two roommates on the last night. I wish they would have informed me about this when I checked in.
I couldn't order anything from the bar/restaurant because of an activity. You should make sure that guests can order even if they have to go to the first floor.

Fair
The place as a hole AND the location
The bedroom looked sad as hell, the elevators did not work

Brilliant location, nice building and comfortable stay. Would return, if the price was right.
Location was excellent and we had a good-sized, well-presented room on the 6th floor with a great view. My bed was comfy but my friend found hers too soft. Lovely, renovated old building with a quirky lift. The communal patio was a gorgeous space. All the staff we encountered were friendly; we were informed by the cleaner that the coffee/tea machine by the kitchen was free (which we wouldn't have known otherwise!). Good value but we had a last-min booking deal.
The website promotes the communal spaces, which are lovely, but I didn't feel particularly encouraged to use them. No details of the spaces (ie opening times/location/availability) were offered at check-in or provided in the room. The communal patio and the inside dining room adjoining it both closed at 10pm, according to a small sign, which seemed a little early. Two spaces were closed for private parties during our 4-night stay and we didn't find the downstairs 'chill' space until the last day, as there were no obvious signs/directions. Kitchen was good, with large fridge/freezers, but no available mugs or glasses during our entire stay so we had to use paper cups.

Very good
Location is very good. it is located in the city centre, you can go to Ra Lambla and other places by walking. Room also good.

I really enjoyed my stay, it was a great location, staff welcoming and very clean/comfortable, price was also really good, overall exceptional stay, Thank-you!!

Excellent hotel/hostel.
Excellent staff. They go out of their way to make sure you are looked after. It is a very nice character building that has been updated. Comfortable room and beds, Clean. Very good kitchen available. Nice outdoor lounge area. There is a yoga room downstairs as well as a restaurant. The location is excellent.
Wifi was not always strong but it was generally fine for my stay. Rooms are not very soundproof as it is an old building but i did not have any issues during my stay.

Great location 5 mins from la rambles . Bars and food on your doorstep. Clean and inviting place to stay. We stayed for one night with family die to a change of flights. The rooms were big and slept us all in one rrom. There were facilities for take outside and room.provided for us to take our food. Free coffee in thr hall way which was very nice coffee .. staff are friendly overall we were happy.

Good location, clean.
There was problems with key system, couldnt enter the room.
2 December 2024
I liked my room, my space, I was near the window plus there's a balcony to see the streets & people.
it's cheap 4-in-a-room but the layout made it feel I had a little space with privacy to my self, I was also next to the massive window where I wake up to sunlight (the small things that makes me happy). they helped store my luggage after check out while waiting for my night flight so I could still look around Barcelona.
very little space to hang clothes and 1 occupant in the room took the entire space and all the hangers to herself! she also keeps the curtains close the entire time.

the breakfast could be improved

The location is great and we booked a private en-suite at the property. The rooms were neat and spacious. Would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Barcelona for a few days!

Perfect spot for a great value stay in beautiful Gracia
Amazing location, beautiful building
Very noisy at night, tiny room
28 November 2024
It was a good place but nothing special.
I liked the bed, bathroom and the location of the hotel it was all very much to my standard. The tall room gave a unique atmosphere to the room. Lastly, the proximity to local transport was very nice.
The walls were a bit dirty, but it could be from the rustic old fashion atmosphere they are trying to create. I did not appreciate that when I went down to the reception to ask a question the receptionist took out his frustration not sure if it was towards me, the question or the device he was using, by swearing like a manic in Spanish assuming I don't understand what he was saying.
27 November 2024
Nice
I like the bathroom& the beds
They don't have remote control for the air conditioner.
26 November 2024
Amazing stay at Casa Gracia!
Location, confort and lovely staff.
It would be nice if the front desk could give you some recommendations about what there is to see in the neighbourhood.

Budget hostel for family in BCN
Location is perfect to go anywhere. We stayed in a quadruple room located at a building next door to the reception. While we understand the rule of check in at 3pm, it appears the reception is rigid to keep guests lining up until 3pm to have the keys. Daily cleaning of the room is a merit. Really enjoyed the shower with abundant hot water supply. Room security is remarkable.
Ceiling light in living room is so dim that you can't read any paper. Just like living in old days that short of electricity supply.

There were stairs up to the top bunk so a nice change from having to climb up & down a ladder.

Location
We had a room facing the street which was quite noisy
17 November 2024
Very good
Value for money, good place to stay.
The shower's flooring is weird, basically the shower mirrors can be moved in and out so water is essentially just on the floor flowing downwards the drain but most of the time floor is wet. Also would be better if theres slippers provided

I've been here twice. Very nice staff, perfect location. Suitable for remote working

Is a nice and pretty hotel
I like the design decoration
One of the floors that they advertise as a space for the guests was closed
12 November 2024
Very good
Great location.
Noisy aircondition that is locked and can not be turned off, even when you ask the reception. The Room only had a window facing inside and if you opened the window it smelled bad.
10 November 2024

Stuff were perfect, also every day they came to clean the rooms and renew the towels and bedsheets. I'm satisfied with my experience. also perfect breakfast 👌

Location was perfect.
Water was leaking from shower. There can be some chair to sit at balcony.

Decent value, great location, but a few silly flaws
Nice room, lovely building, close enough to all major attractions, but very close to the awesome Gracia neighbourhood. The staff was helpful, the coffee was free, the common rooms were well appointed, and the building had great character.
The rooms with balconies were extremely noisy. The first 2 nights were rather sleepless because of wild party people in the square out front. Also, our air conditioner didn't work (maybe because it wasn't summer?), so it was a nightly battle of boil in the room with the balcony doors closed for a little more quiet, or get some air but never fall asleep due to the noise. Ironically, when we switched to a cheaper "interior" room for the last night, we slept soundly.
4 November 2024
Really beautiful place and reasonably priced. Will definitely go again.
Beautiful spaces all over and the room was excellent. Common dining and cooking area was well stocked with lots of room. Lovely breakfast.
felt like we didn’t get to see all of it - wasn’t clear what we were able to access and what not. Would have been good to have been shown around a bit on the first day.
1 November 2024
Very good
The beds are very comfortable and sturdy so you don't feel you are in a bunk bed.
Not much of a social vibe, it doesn't have that homey feel of a hostel. Comfort could be increased with curtains on the beds.
25 October 2024
We were very pleased with property and would definitely stay there again.
We were delighted with the property especially the location. It was so convenient to everything, restaurants, cafes, stations, buses, taxis, main attractions etc. In fact it was located in one of the up market shopping areas in Barcelona. We were pleased with our double room also and of course the facilities in the property e.g. the restaurant, the bar and the breakfast in the mornings. We would definitely recommend it.
25 October 2024
Good location, perfect for a short stay.
Location was brilliant, staff was very friendly. Bed was very comfortable.
The room was very minimal - lack of space to store belongings. The shower pressure was low.
23 October 2024
Good value for money
The location. The shared female room was nice.
The facilities, kitchen area, and lower level lounge need a deep clean. The chillout area on the 1st floor is only open until noon. It is one of the nicest places to be, but people are not allowed in after 12.00. In the rooms, there are no hangers, wardrobes, or shelves to put your things on. Only one drawer with no lock per person. You need to leave your stuff on the floor. Also, the mattresses need a change.
22 October 2024
Excellent value, comfortable stay, great location.
Excellent location and beautiful view on the balcony for a great price. Great breakfast for the price. Helpful staff. Large room and very comfortable bed.
Bathtub leaked on the top side when taking a shower as the plaster was broken. Water has an odd smell and left a residue the one time I tried taking a bath. Water pressure in the mornings was weak and sometimes cut out, probably because of the top floor room and many people using the water supply. Cleaning was a bit inconsistent, sometimes the towels weren’t properly changed a few times.

Beautiful place with good facilities and good location
Great location, beautiful rooms and building including vintage elevator. Nice to have communal kitchen and courtyard. Room was small but very clean and decorated beautifully.
Staff not helpful or particularly friendly, couldn’t answer questions about what to do in the area and upon check in gave us no information, (ie about the courtyard, kitchen hours, free coffee/latte machine which we didn’t know about) just handed us our keys. Communal kitchen was missing mugs, library / sitting room was only open in the morning and closed after noon which seemed pointless as most people want to sit and relax in the evening.
22 October 2024
Very good
Everything's amazing. It is close to the Diagonal metro station, merely a walking distance of 4-6 minutes,close to Sagrada Familia, park Guell and many bus stops are there from where buses can be availed to visit all other touristic attractions in Barcelona. The staff was very amicable.
The breakfast was paid for while booking. Their menu is the same. I would recommend them to have at least some non-vegetarian meat options which include only chicken or mutton or lamb. There are many people who travel to Spain and stay at Casa Gracia from India. Many Indians do not eat beef and ham due to religious reasons. They can prepare a time-table for breakfast, for instance, on Monday they can have X, Y, Z food items for breakfast while on Tuesday they can have A, B and C food items on the menu, and so on. I have had their monotonous breakfast for 4 consecutive days. I had to, because while booking, I had already paid for them.

Bad connection WiFi.

Nice stay at a central location
It was a nice historic building typical of Barcelona. The room was quiet and clean, and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The online check-in process was smooth and sped up the check-in time for me. Overall, the location was excellent, which was more than sufficient.
18 October 2024
Pleasant
I got an electric shock when I touched the bedside lamp.

Great stay at Barcelona
The building is great and its location as well! Staff was very nice and helpful. Room was very nice and clean.
Take into consideration that it can be noisy from the traffic if you choose a room with a view of the street. We didn't mind it though. It would be more comfortable if the room had some table or more closet space.

Pleasant hostel with breakfast in Gaixample
+ location in the middle of Gaixample + additional possibility to pay for a rich breakfast at a fair price + calm room only for 6 people + private bathroom for the shared room + private balcony for the shared room
- absence of locks for the lockers in the shared room and impossibility to borrow them at the reception - an old window to the main street so that you can hear outside noises (but not very disturbing actually) - there are cheaper hostels in Barcelona centre
15 October 2024
Good location for my endeavours.
No breakfast, good location though.
The bed was too narrow, almost I fell off.
13 October 2024
Perfect in everything.
The breakfast was really good and they were plenty of different choices. The room was bigger than we expected and we were so glad about that. The beds were too comfy as well. The vibes in this hostel are so nice and the people too!!
13 October 2024
Brilliant location and good if basic accommodation.
Amazing location, basic but clean room, good facilities for travelling with a little baby (terrace, "relaxarium", kitchen, changing table in foyer loos etc).
We had to move rooms halfway through our stay and it's a pity they weren't able to help us with our bags. Other than that no complaints and we will stay here again
12 October 2024
Great choice if you are looking for the place just to sleep, in the city centre, close to everything and in affordable p
Great location
Would be great if there was brush for the toilet too

Good service and Good location with bad facilities
The location was amazing
The facilities were really poor. From basic stuff like towels and internet
