The Ítaca Hostel is perfect for backpackers and solo travelers. The cozy-cool hostel offers 36 beds in four large sparkling shared rooms. Located in the heart of Barcelona's Gothic zone, the hostel is just a stone's throw away from the Cathedral and Cuatro Gats Café, the infamous hang-out spot for intellectuals and artists of the twentieth century.
Owners and sisters Cristina and Nuria are very sweet and helpful, and have designed the place to make it feel welcoming and communal. In the dimmed light of the mural-painted lounge area, it's easy to meet other travelers while relaxing with free coffee or tea, Internet and surround sound reggae music vibrations.
Ítaca Hostel is one block from a small local grocer and has a full kitchen for guests to delight in while saving their otherwise spent euros for the numerous bars within stumbling distance of the hostel. A word to the wise: the hostel has a curfew from 4 a.m to 7 a.m., so keep an eye on the time if you're going out. There is also a stellar breakfast available every morning at Ítaca for the low price of €2.50, which is a complete steal.
