What makes the hostal stand out
Nomadic Boys list Absolut Stay in their guide to hostels in the Gaixample and stress its location right on the doorstep of the gay district, with bars and clubs all around. It is a small guesthouse, not a scene hotel, but you hardly get this close to Consell de Cent for less.
Rooms and amenities
The rooms are bright and functional, with air conditioning, TV, heating and free Wi-Fi. The house is adults only, with quiet hours from 11 pm to 9 am. There is no 24-hour reception, and your arrival time must be agreed in advance.
A good fit if you …
- want to sleep cheaply in the heart of the Gaixample
- don’t need hotel service
- like a small, personal place
Not ideal if you …
- are arriving late at night without arranging it
- value a private bathroom but don’t check carefully when booking
