Fodor's Review:

This youth hostel accepts guests over 25 with youth hostel cards (EUR 3.50 per night for first six nights, available at check-in desk). The lobby, a Moderniste exhibition featuring Moorish horseshoe arches and polychrome marquetry right out of the Arabian Nights, has been featured in Barcelona art books. This is one of the city's great bargains -- shared rooms and bathrooms notwithstanding -- overlooking the city near Gaudí's Güell Park. Bus 28 from the Rambla and the green line's Vallcarca metro station get you home. Doors close at midnight but open every 30 minutes for late arrivals, i.e., everyone. Pros: excellent budget choice, takes all ages, friendly service, lavish design. Cons: accommodations vary from dormitory-like multiple-bed rooms to smaller singles, front door opens only at intervals after midnight, far from downtown Barcelona and popular landmarks.
