I booked the room but they dont give the room when ibreached the destination he said no room available for you he said all room are booked it not good for me
Excellent location. Clean room. Bathrooms a bit basic & messy if you didnt get in early before other people messed it up. Toilet rolls slow to be replenished.
On the whole pretty good & wed stay again
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.
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!
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
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.
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!
Easy to walk to downtown or Metro goes everywhere in the City. Great Staff but Cold water was hard to get used to , so was the mops in the bathroom to clean up the spilled water. Great kitchen & seating area Downstairs

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.
