Casa Gracia is ran like a 4 star hotel that's actually a high end hostel with the best attributes of both. A Metro stop is practically across the wide streets from the Casa which is a beautifully.ornate formal private estate home. La Casa has Nice working bathrooms , creative storage within the stairs to the upper bunks, a full kitchen, community refrigerators and lovely interior and outdoor common spaces for work, meeting friends or just relaxing. Front desk staff are so helpful and amicable. And then the neighborhood couldn't be better. I've stayed in different parts and places in Central Barcelona and I found this place and neighborhood to be just about the best in proximity to good restaurants, shopping, local cafes, convenience stores, bars, and interesting sites. Will return !
