Alberg Mare de Deu de Montserrat Review
Shared rooms and bathrooms notwithstanding, this is one of the city's great bargains overlooking the city near Gaudí's Güell Park.This youth hostel accepts guests over 25 with youth hostel cards, which are available at the front desk for a small fee (€5). The lobby, a Moderniste exhibition featuring Moorish horseshoe arches and polychrome marquetry right out of the Arabian Nights, has been featured in Barcelona art books. 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, that is, everyone.
