Absolutely loved our stay at Hostal Grau.
The hotel is decorated so well throughout and is very clean.
Also in a great central location, only a few minutes walk to La Rambla and metro stations.
There are a couple of lovely communal areas to sit and chill, read, play cards etc.
There is also the rooftop terrace with honesty bar which was great - a sun trap when the sun was out! And another lovely area to sit and read, with a drink.
Breakfast was lovely - a really good selection and the staff...

Location is perfect close to beach and mainstreets.
It's the cleanest hostel I have ever stayed in. They have a lot of cleaning people, cleaning kitchen, toilets and shower rooms regularly.
I really appreciated this as I was nervous to stay in a hostel because I like clean toilets/showers.
The beds were comfortable and have privacy curtains on each bunk and your own bed light, 1electric socket, 2 usb charging connectors.
A lot of space in the kitchen to cook and store some food in the cupboards...

Really nice hotel, really friendly staff. I stayed with my son for a few nights in summer and felt very safe both in the hotel and local area. Short walk to the city centre, good amenities and public transport nearby, very affordable and felt quite high end for the budget. Would recommend and stay again

Great location in the heart or the Gothic area. It is in easy reach of most places of interest for reasonably active people, if not use the hop on off bus. We stayed in a superior double room. Although not the largest it was well decorated, spotlessly clean with a great shower facility. It has the added bonus of having a free breakfast which should satisfy the average traveler.The front desk staff were pleasant and most helpful, especially Natalia who kindly printed off our boarding passes.Would...

This place felt more like a friend's house than a hostel. The rooms are simple, with basic but comfortable furnishings. I had an ensuite that again was basic yet functional. There is a great lounge area and a fully equipped kitchen. They offer one of the best value breakfasts I have had in a long time. I would certainly consider staying there again.

We stayed at the Family size room which has a balcony, living room and kitchen. The size is good for a family and we can make our own breakfast everyday. The staffs were friendly and helpful too!
Only problem was the ants in the living room, they came in from the balcony, quite a lot.

I had such a fun time staying at this hostel. They have free tours of Barcelona everyday, they have planned nightly activities (Bars/ Clubs), which is especially great if you're a solo traveler, you will definitely make friends! Most nights they also have a family meal that is cooked by a staff member just for a few euros. Paella, Chicken Curry, Chicken Milanese were just some of the meals that were cooked during my stay. The meals are also usually accompanied by either Sangria or beer, which is...
