EuroCheapo review print this page

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.

In addition to the basic, colorful dorm rooms, the hostel offers double rooms and two apartments with kitchens.

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 euros for the numerous bars within stumbling distance of the hostel. There is also a stellar breakfast available every morning at Ítaca for the low price of €2.50, which is a complete steal.

A word to the wise: the hostel has a curfew from 4 AM to 7 AM., so keep an eye on the time if you're going out.

About the Itaca Hostel neighborhood

A maze of moody, touristy, twisty streets built atop the ancient Roman city of Barcino, the Barri Gòtic, along with La Rambla, comprises the center of town. Charming gift shops, tacky touristy junk shops, cute cafés, trendy bars, and a zillion restaurants line the cobblestone streets. The Barri Gòtic is also home to Barcelona's 13th-century gothic cathedral. You will be spending a lot of time here.
