Casa Gracia: a youth hostel full of charm in Barcelona
Arriving at the Casa Gracia is like being welcomed into a big family house, where each generation has left its mark on the interiors.
Located at the crossroads of Avinguda Diagonal and Passeig de Gracia, the hostel is very close to key tourist sites, to the most vibrant quarters and to shopping areas. Shopaholics beware: there really are shops everywhere…
Rooms at Casa Gracia
Check-in is from 2pm, and you’ll need to leave by noon on the day of departure.
Dormitories
Light, airy and pretty spacious, the dorms sleep 6. There’s not much in the way of storage, but there’s enough space for everyone’s belongings. The tasteful décor creates a relaxing and restful atmosphere. Most of the dorms have their own bathroom.
Private rooms
En suite rooms, or “suites”
Private rooms are also available, sleeping from 2 to 6, and are ideal for those wishing to combine the privacy of a hotel room with the social side of a youth hostel. The rooms are spacious and light and each has its own bathroom, offering all the comfort you’d expect from a hotel, plus access to the hostel’s shared kitchen and common room.
Super-suites: private bathroom and jacuzzi
The hostel has recently introduced double rooms with their own jacuzzi, known as “super-suites”.

A night in the dorms in low season will cost from €25 per person, going up to €30 pppn in high season. All prices include breakfast.
Private rooms cost from €100 to €140 per night (including breakfast), depending on the dates of your stay.
Public areas at Casa Gracia
The huge kitchen, which opens onto the dining room, has just been redecorated. The bottle-green tiles and the long wooden refectory table give a definite “family” feel to the place.
The dining room is light and spacious, and opens out onto a terrace – perfect in summer!
On top of all that, you get access to the sitting room and library, with their leather sofas and armchairs – the perfect spot for a quick evening drink before setting out for some nocturnal exploration of the city centre.
Other services
Reception is open 24/7, and they’re happy to look after your bags for you if you arrive early or if you’re leaving after checkout time.
