    In the stairs from the ground floor to the sleeping area there is a terrible smell seem like possibly a pipe is leaking from the upstairs bathroom area. It's really very bad and I may not stay here again. I have stayed here at least 4 times. Hope this can be fixed

    Friendly staff comfy beds really a great place to stay

    Fantastic central hostel

    • Submitted from a mobile device

    It is possible that based on the location being so central it could attract people who are partying and coming home late and making some noise and disturbing sleep but that is no fault of the hostel and the hostel is good at speaking to those rare travelers who don't respect the hostel etiquette

    Fantastic hostel super friendly staff. Free tea and coffee fantastic location and friendly backpackers to speak with very social. I didn't get a chance to take part in the events but they had a lot on offer

    Nothing really.

    It's a 5 Star Hostel - clean, modern, very good location and spacious rooms, friendly staff. You can feel what the owners have put a lot of care and passion into every detail of the business. Definitely recommend.

    I had a fantastic 5 day stay at this hostel in Barcelona’s Gothic District! The location was perfect, the bathrooms and communal spaces were always clean, and the staff was super helpful. The great weather made exploring even better. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Barcelona would definitely stay again! 😊

    Even though the staff were cleaning the bathrooms every morning by afternoon they would get slightly messy - this is more fault of the people though not the staff/hostel

    Location is in the middle of everything you wanna do. Staff were brilliant in organising activities and special shoutout to Leo with the cat cards!

    How we have to leave the common living room at midnight, even if we are quiet. It’s a cosy place to read and chill.

    This hostel is super clean and homey. The kitchen was very clean and functional. Everyone cleaned up after themselves. The staff are all so friendly, helpful and personable

    The location couldn't have been more perfect—just a few blocks from the iconic Sagrada Família, right in the heart of Barcelona. The hostel boasts excellent facilities, including clean bathrooms, warm showers, well-ventilated rooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. However, the true highlight was undoubtedly the incredible staff! They were ALL exceptionally helpful, attentive to everyone's needs, and went the extra mile by organizing free city tours to help guests truly immerse themselves in the vibrant Barcelona. Thank you, Itaca, for an unforgettable experience!
