First of all, the hostel rooms does not look like on the pictures! The bed is comfortable but the room is tiny with only a small drawer to your stuff. I understand it is low price but these conditions just unacceptable even for 10 quid a night. There was no hot water in the downstairs bathroom, so the first night I had a very unpleasant quick cold shower. If it was the middle of summer I probably wouldn't have minded that much, but it's mid november already with showers outside. Receptionist said the pluming isn't the best so for hot shower is better to go upstairs. I swear even in the worst colleges bathroom conditions are better than here. The last morning just before I left I even saw a cockroach crawling through the shower floor. I didn't have breakfast at the place, however the kitchen and living room area actually nice with all those bean bags. Also good point that it is quite in the center so most of the attractions are close by. However I would never go back to that place and I wouldn't recommend to anyone at all.

Amazing value, a few minor issues
Unbeatable value for the location, walls a bit thin between rooms so we could hear interesting sounds from next door! Also, refilling toilet paper dispensers not efficiently managed by staff.

The location was great. Gràcia is a nice area and convienent to the center, Sagrada Família and the gothic area. Many restaurants and stores to walk to The hostel is a little old and funky. Plumbing, door knobs etc need work. A little noisy also

Dormitory rooms are very small. Cold air is coming due to ventilation at night. No hot water in showers on the ground floor. Place is quite uncomfortable.

Horrible
Expect to not have any hot water longer than 1 minute, squeaky beds when you have people moving around all night, rude cleaning staff who wake up customers and tell them to get out when they have more than one night booked. Ridiculous and will never come back!

Rude maid
Very rude. Had a reservation for two nights and still get woken up by the maid telling me I need to get up and get out. I tell her I have another night booked, doesn’t understand English, gets mad at me and shakes her head, goes to the front desk and the front desk person comes to wake me up. Once again I have to explain that I have another night booked and that I don’t have to move according to the person at check in. Don’t give attitude when your waking up a paying guests After paying to stay consecutive nights. Willl not come back nor will ever recommend. Sorry Not sorry

Great hostel, needs some elbow grease
This was my second stay here, the first being when the hostel first opened a couple years ago. I came back because the first experience was so positive. Most of the elements that lead me to repeat my stay at Gracia City Hostel were there the scond time around: great staff, a friendly environment, perfect location, and a great bang for your buck. However, the place really could do with a thorough scrubbing. The biggest problem is mold around the air ducts in the dorm as well as all over the celing in the showers. I'm sure management will get that taken care of and, as soon as the hostel has had a deep cleaning, I wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Great hostel!
Cozy hostel located right off the main street. Just far enough away that we weren't kept up by the hustle and bustle of the city. Rooms were clean and hostel staff was super helpful (they even took care of getting us a taxi to the airport when we left!) The bathrooms are older and are set up more like gym bathrooms, and have wear and tear. But they were clean and both the hot and cold water worked with no issues. The beds were very comfortable. Staff enforced the "don't be loud after 11pm" rule, which was very, very appreciated. NOTE FOR PEOPLE GOING IN THE SUMMER: there is air conditioning but you have to ask them to turn it on for your room specifically.

Good hotel - very basic but in a good location in Gracia and staff were really nice. They need to be really careful because they mopped the steps and didn't have a sign and my friend slipped over and really hurt herself!

In the center of Barcelona- far from the airport
We were staying only to catch a flight, it would have been better to stay somewhere near the airport, as taxi costs €42 each way.

Cheap and cheerful!
Stayed at this hostel for a Barcelona match. It was in an amazing location, it was within walking distance of the main shops in the city centre, as well as being close to metros so that I could travel to Camp Nou. Overall the hotel was in a good, clean condition. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with anything I needed. The only thing I would change about my stay is that I would bring an eye mask for night time, as even though the main light is switched off, the personal lights are extremely bright.

Well-located hostel at a great price
The wifi was awful and kept cutting in and out and I could not maintain a steady connection for more than 15 minutes. Other than that, the staff were friendly and the bed was comfortable. You can't expect too much from hostel-living, especially when you're sharing a room with 7 other people who all have different schedules and sleeping patterns!
