I picked this place based upon reviews on Hostelworld and a friend told me that it was in a great area - The Gothic Quarter. It is great value I could not pass - and did not want to stay in a hotel by myself, I preferred to be with fellow travelers. It is tricky to find on a small... More

Itaca was a welcoming, friendly, and completely satisfactory hostel. The staff was helpful in recommending things to do around Barcelona. I went on the free walking tour (highly recommend!) and to a jazz club that they posted information on. So glad they provided information on how to make the most of my time.The breakfast consisted of a few types of... More

The staff was really friendly, and the atmosphere was really laid back. Everyone was respectful when coming back from a night out to not wake anyone up. They also had free breakfast, which was nice, and a lot of suggestions for things to do in Barcelona. Also, awesome location- right by the Cathedral in the heart of the Gothic Quarter!... More

We couldn't fault our stay otherwise, the rooms were clean, breakfast was always out by 8am and our neighbours were courteous. The office is open 24/7 and the... More

Loved the apartment 'monec'. it is the perfect location. the apartment is roomy and very clean. Noise travels a lot in these apartments as they are so close together, so if you are a light sleeper stay elsewhere or buy some earplugs. Disorganised check in. Had to wait 2hours despite organising a check in time in writing prior. Clean accommodation,... More

This hostel is in the perfect location just across from the old Barcelona Cathedral in the gothic quarter. Very close to plaza catalunya, las ramblas and more. They offer free internet access and the facilities were very clean as well. Overall a good experience :)
