¢, Vallcarca
Fodor's Review:
This youth hostel accepts guests over 25 with youth hostel cards (EUR 3.50 per night for first six nights, available at check-in desk). The lobby, a Moderniste display featuring Moorish horseshoe arches and polychrome marketry right out of the Arabian Nights, has been featured in Barcelona art books. This is one of Barcelona's great bargains, shared rooms and bathrooms notwithstanding, overlooking the city near Gaudí's Güell Park. Bus 28 from the Rambla and the green line's Vallcarca metro station get you home. Doors close at midnight but open every 30 minutes for late arrivals, i.e., everyone.
