The place was clean and fine but I just wished I could clean the air by opening up a wide window. There was just one little window and if I open it, all I could see was another window facing our window.

Great Location at the heart of the city
Location and authentic European feel coupled with great location surrounded by amazing Cafés, stores and restaurants. At the heart of Barcelona but sufficiently away to be peaceful!!!

One of the best locations I guess in Barcelona. Great stuff and comfy apartment. The building is old. Personally I am a fan of a building with kinda local flavour, so for me that wasn't a cons. Saying just to take it into account.
Nothing serious worth mentioning.

The accomodation was very comfortable. The sheets and towels were changed on a daily basis. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was very good.
The dormitories were a but small with no real space to keep your luggages

Good!
The location was excellent, right in the heart of Barcelona! Also, the terrace was a nice space to chill and have breakfast/relax/work.
It felt a bit noisy during night times, specially towards the corridors.

Quaint hostel for a few nights rest.
Breakfast was good although we were a little late and remaining options were limited. Room was clean. Some aging but perfect for a quick nights rest. Bar and food was great and lower level area was super cool and eclectic.
Shower needed some TLC. Water leaked out from glass and basin.

Beautiful Common Use Area ( shared area )
Central Area - Easy Access to attractions by Metro and buses. Helpful Staff Hotel has beautiful Common Use Area for all guests to use the kitchen, dinning, living rooms.
Room's Floor not Clean ! Small Elevators and always busy for many guests.

The hotel was clean, with a big room and a very good location—just a short walk from the metro. Overall, it was a decent stay, but I don’t think it was worth the money
16 June 2025
Great stay. Essentially a hostel of private rooms.
The shared kitchen was very handy. We enjoyed the communal yard area which has lots of seating and umbrellas. We also liked the spacious common room. The location was excellent. Casa Milla is very close and the Diagonol metro station was sixty seconds away. We loved the nearby local neighbourhood - definitely visit those streets if you like real Spanish culture, coffee, independent shops and vegan food.
Some water coolers would have been great, but that's only a small thing!

Great place to stay in Barcelona for a good value and very centric and not so noisy neighborhood
I liked the Terrace were you can eat outdoors. Thebkitchen is big and nice of you want to cook. There a Nice buffet breakfast with fruits, eggs , tortilla españolas, breads, ham and cheese, coffee s, jodes, etc etc very abundant and varied. The rooms are cleaned every day and you get a fresh towel everyday and a shower mat. Location is super centric . The restaurant next door part of the hostel is very nice and serves amazing food.
I would suggest they put a soap bar and shampoo gel per each guest in the room instead of only one. And that they allow the ac to be lower because in top bunks it’s hotter than below. Or they can add a small fan per bed.

Rooms look nice but not practical
Location was good. Room aesthetic was good
Not every bed has its own lockable storage. No where to hang your towel if you are on the bottom bunk There was stains on the sheets There is bad mould in the bathroom Terrible shower head

Comfortable hostel in great location
Would not recommend leaving your luggage in the storage area during the day. Got super crowded, had to crawl over the suitcases and move many many out of the way to get to my suitcase, and the staff will not help you.

Place was absolutely amazing to stay for couple of days.
The place was neat and clean. Well maintained. It’s very good to stay at this place for few days while enjoying all the places nearby. This place is located inside the city and is well easy for transport. Highly recommend this place.
Not much to say. Everything was good!

Can’t wait to come back
Very nice room styling and perfect location, with bus stop and Metro near. 15/20 min Walking from Placa cataluñya and Rambla. Staff was very nice and helpful. Common area, terrace and restaurant available in the property. Very nice and unforgettable stay
I would suggest to arrange better the room for luggage storage

Amazing stay, and would really recommend to anyone.
Very comfortable and the rooms were very spacious. The common area was really nice and had a good vibe during matches.
The kitchen has a very slight unpleasant smell.

Beautiful, old building with a cool, original elevator and an old bank safe in the basement which is where the toilet for the restaurant is located Location is great, right next to a metro station, good restaurants closeby, good accessibility by foot to a lot of places of interest Staff was friendly, especially Yvonne
Beds might be too soft for certain people A/C was not always working properly The price was relatively high (100 per night per person) due to the date being on the Formula 1 weekend(?) No toilet brush (dump carefully)

Location and the price for this accommodation is perfect for a short visit in barcelona. Breakfast has a lot of choice but served cold specially the bacon and scrambled eggs. It would be ideal to served it with food warmer.
Toilet/bathroom its clean but stinks. And the water floods on the floor if we take shower.

Great value for money
Great location, easy access to all transportation, also less than 30 minutes walk to most attractions
The room wasn’t the cleanest, I found one bug crawling from the balcony into my room
29 May 2025
Good value for money
Great location, lots of good restaurants and shops within walking distance. King size bed, good size room.
Walls are very thin so you can hear anyone in the hallway or closing their doors. The hotel also has a hostel in it shared within floors. Ac was super loud, couldnt keep it on at night.

Superb location. Nice design of common areas. Rooms were clean. Bed is comfortable
Rooms with no window should not exist :) Coffee cups should be washed better, I literally had to take the third one, because the first two cups were dirty.

For what it's worth
I like the location.
A bit noisy, maybe because of the construction at the street. The room is not sound proof; and the heater at the shower room failed most of the time. They need to dust-off the elevator. No problem about it being an old model, but they really need to clean it.

I haven’t stayed in a hostel for many years so can’t really compare. It was a very nice place to stay and I would recomm
Great location, friendly and helpful staff, very clean.
It was a bit noisy late at night but that is not the fault of the hotel - just street noises.

it’s nice for a short trip, the location is really good but it’s definetly just a place to stay the night and leave the
the location was great and it was a good value for money
the staff were really rude and honestly should not be in hospitality, i’ve been around the world and i know not everyone is friendly and to not expect a smile but this lady at the front desk was really rude for no apparent reason, and the day of checkout nothing changed she was still extremely rude. the noise level was also almost unbearable even at 6 am

Good location near to Metro, helpful staff but room very basic, suitable for students. s
Very good location and close to station, friendly and helpful staff. Bathroom and bedroom very clean. Balcony, bar
Room was rather basic, limited toiletries and furniture. Eg there was a balcony but only one stool . Quite noisy as lots of young groups.

WELL LOCATED PROFESSIONALLY MANAGED HOSTEL IN BARCELONA
The Hostel is located on the main road and it is professionally managed. Their kitchen is well maintained and well equipped for self cooking.
It may not be the fault of hostel but my Bank Credit Cards were theft from the room.

The hostel is a bit expensive for commodities itself. The room was small and the noise isolation was poor, you could listen doors closing and people talking in the hall.

Beautiful building for a hostal.
Beautiful building on a busy junction. The rooms, windows, common rooms, terrace were lovely. The sound proofing seemed to be good as I slept all night. Breakfast was OK with a few options. Nice to be able to breakfast on the terrace.
I was there on a Sunday evening and the terrace was in darkness at 9pm and locked by 11pm. The common room was closed in the evening but opened as I was leaving after breakfast. There wasn't really storage for a suitcase. The storage was more for mid size rucksacks or small suitcases. Padlocks weren't provided.

Visited Barcelona for the first time and had a great experience. The hostel has a really nice atmosphere, with a spacious and welcoming common area. My room was clean and comfortable, and the balcony was a lovely bonus. The staff were all very friendly and helpful — a big thank you to the gentleman who assisted with both my check-in and check-out. I didn’t catch his name, unfortunately, but you have an amazing memory!

Thank you Ivonne and Noelia! They both highlighted our stay.
Casa Gracia has exceeded my expectations. The architecture and design of the place are beautiful. The location is spectacular. I would like to highlight the impeccable performance of the staff, especially Ivonne and Noelia, who have been very attentive, professional, and resourceful. Thank you very much to all of you. We will be back soon!
The room we got had an indoor window, therefore it was a little noisy when opened.

I loved it! The donkey in the basement is hilarious. 😂
Lots of space, both in the room and elsewhere in the hostel. Lots of places to sit and relax or work or whatever. It was clean and the staff weee friendly and helpful.
The bed was a little uncomfortable. A better mattress would be nice.

Very nice place , extremely clean and well located , the decoration is really amazing , the staffs are so nice and friendly , however for me the bed isn’t so comfortable , the access key sometimes blocked ( which mean each time I need to go back to reception in order to solve the issue ) , but it wasn’t a big thing , otherwise I really like the place , very charming , I would recommend it for sur ))). PS : please bring a locker with you , they didn’t have one .
