With a name like Fashion House, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this place has some pizzazz! This tasteful, seven-room hostal is located on residential calle Bruc is near the center and is very tasteful. All rooms are medium-sized and share bathrooms as well as a fabulous living/dining room area with big armchairs and an intricate stone fireplace. The charismatic Italian owners have paid lots of attention to detail and cleanliness and their hard work shows; the place is spotless!
Rooms are nicely decorated with simple, freshly-painted walls and framed sketches of Pharaohs and butterflies. The "less is more" rule applies here. Rooms are uncluttered, with just a simple table, lamp, and maybe a wicker chair as adornments. Fashion House feels like a "real" house, with a cozy, laid-back vibe.
One drawback is the owner's "morning only" hours. Guests have keys and can come and go as they please, but reception is only open from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Also, Internet is not available for guests, but this may not be a big deal as there is an Internet café a block away.
Fashion House's best feature is its large, flower-covered patio, which also serves as a breakfast spot. The patio is an oasis in a big city like Barcelona, and is a great spot to chill after a busy day of sightseeing, shopping, and exploring. The hostal is about two blocks from the Metro and three blocks from Plaça Catalunya. The heart of the city is a short walk away. Fashion House's distance from the action means that the hotel is quieter than most—and a great choice for a longer stay.

About the Fashion House neighborhood
Classier and newer than the Gothic Quarter, the Eixample (pronounced "uh-SHAHM-pluh") is located just North of El Raval and the Gothic Quarter. The Eixample offers the city's most expensive shopping, swankiest residences, and best examples of Catalonian Modernist architecture. The Eixample's 19th-Century building facades, with their wild ornamentation and extreme Art Nouveau flair, are some of the most photographed in Europe. Antoni Gaudi, Barcelona's most famous architect, is represented everywhere here—from fabulous apartment buildings to his world-famous Sagrada Familia cathedral.
