Casa Gràcia

Pros: - you are in a beautiful location, right close to Gracia which I think it's the most beautiful neighborhood of Barcelona. - price of the mixed dorm quite cheap compared to others - big kitchen with all the necessaries + free vending machine with coffee and teas Cons: - the receptionists don't really tell you about the kitchen or the availability of the common areas. You have to ask. - the pictures show beautiful common areas perfect to work or study during the day. However, they close the common area at 12 and direct you to stay in another common area down in the restaurant. However, the latter is very loud with music and clients from the bar, has soft yellow lights and no natural sunlight the whole day so it's hard even to read or know the difference between day and night. If the bar has people it's impossible to take work calls. If you are staying in the dorms (which have no natural light) and then have to spend the day working in this dark common area, the lack of light would really affect you. When I asked why they didn't keep the other common area open there were really no reasons....so could it be that they send people downstairs so they'd be more inclined to consume at the restaurant/bar?! - dorms are reallyyyy small, no natural light, and loud. You can hear everything between walls. If you have the bad luck of having loud neighbours forget you will get a good night sleep. Would I recommend it? Only if it's your first time in Barcelona and need to spend very few nights here. But I would not come back.

"⚠️ Warning to guests - be careful with valuable items! My laptop was stolen from the locked storage room. Although the room is presented as a safe storage place, in reality there is insufficient security. The staff did not handle the case properly and offered no solution. It's recommended to look for another hostel or keep all valuable items with you."

Beautiful place!! I loved the rooms as well, everything was super clean. I didn’t get to try their restaurant but it looked very nice. Definitely worth every penny & I didn’t really find it expensive either.

I booked a private room for myself while solo traveling. The room was basic, but beautiful and had everything I needed. Wifi was very dependable and fast. The location was perfect. It was central to all the major sights. The price was wonderful for what it was. My only complaint was the noise from the hallway went on for all hours of the night. However a sound machine or ear plugs would solve that. I would absolutely stay here again.

It was awesome! Pictures are so accurate, the room, bathroom, lounge area, restaurant… So good! The cleaning service was great, and the staff was super helpful! Plus the area is very handy, close to metro station, shops, and it’s in the most charming area! Higher recommended!

Very good hostel. Very beautiful building in a converted bank. Excellent location, clean, tidy, and good free breakfast. Only complaint was that it was very quiet. Not sure if it was the age or demographic of the guests but it was almost antisocial compared to other hostels I have been to - common spaces weren’t large or well used, and groups tended to keep to themselves rather than socializing with others.

My friend and I stayed at Casa Garcia for a few days, and although our room was in a separate building from the reception, Yvonne was incredibly helpful and personally took us to our room so we wouldn’t get lost. The neighborhood was fantastic, with plenty of tourist spots to visit and lots of nearby shops. While we didn't initially plan for breakfast, we decided to try it for €12 and it was absolutely delicious a wonderful buffet... The man serving breakfast was always cheerful and had a smile on his face the entire time. Highly recommend!

The staff was very accommodating. We had an issue in our shared dorm with an inconsiderate resident and bad smell in the room. Alfredo was kind enough to give us a new room and we had no problems at the hostel since. Would recommend!
