On my last night staying here they rented out the common room to a traveller who hadn´t been organised enough to get herself another place to stay. She slept in there all day as she had a cold and so you didn´t feel like you could be in there- sp no common area or TV. Also in the morning they... More

Positives: Great location - just off the Ramblas, charming rooftop entrance, great shower pressure, staff at Itaca were very helpful and we were able to use the hostel wifi. Negatives: no WIFI, 4 flights of very steep and partly unlit stairs, attic room ceiling is very low so you have to walk around it stooped, ants in the kitchen, Personally,... More

Very central location, close to transport and within walking distance of many of Barcelona attractions. Staff friendly and the part Itaca Red where we stayed was very modern with good shower, and kitchen. A coffee machine and a selection of several infusion teas as well as regular teas. Breakfast was good and plentiful and included in price. Very comfortable beds... More

We stayed at a lovely four bedroom apartment just a couple of minutes walk from the gothic quarter. It was incredibly clean and breakfast magically appeared in the kitchen of the flat. We were the only people staying there, which meant we had the shared bathroom to ourselves. The bedroom had a walk in wardrobe. More

We rented an apartment from this hostel. The apartment was like 5 minutes away in a secluded neighborhood. I would not recommend it for ladies. The apartment was clean and modern. It was close to the hop on hop off bus. It was good for the value and everything was within walking distance, but my friend and I did not... More

My friend and I stayed in the two bedroom apartment (monec) affiliated with the Hostel. It is about 2 mins walk from the main Hostel. The apartment was great. It had a washing machine as well which was handy. We didnt have much do to with the hostel, but the staff were helpful if we had any questions. There is... More

Itaca won me over from first sight. The location was perfect and yet not too crowded out among just other touristy hostels. The bed with the reading lamp was my favourite: you could stay up late into the night reading without disturbing others in your dorm. The common areas were great too: colourful and full of comfy couches. The staff... More

I'm a 'stylish' backpacker mom with a 10 year old boy. We love to travel, searching for nice, clean, budget accommodations. Sometimes we're lucky.We stayed 4 nights at Itaca Red apartment, in a separate building from the hostel, just behind the Cathedral. The apartment has been recently renewed. It's a little bit dark, but spacious, well equipped, cozy and clean.... More

My husband and I stayed at the Itaca hostel in Barcelona in January. The place was very warm and smelled of vanilla. The decor was colorful with painted murals on the walls. The people working there were very nice and helpful. There is a nice lounge area open until 11pm every night. The downstairs has several seats that people gravitate... More
