The Central House Barcelona Gracia

The front desk staff were very kind. I will use this again if I have the chance! Towels: Rental Soap provided: 1 type Wi-Fi: Normal, maybe a little strong? Entering and leaving the hotel after checking in: 24 hours, ring the doorbell to have the door opened

I used it on a solo trip. The location is great, close to the metro. Although it was a dormitory, there was a curtain so privacy was safe. The shower is comfortable with good water pressure and a hairdryer. There was also paid rental of towels. The common space and courtyard are large, and I think it's pretty good for a dormitory.

The location is convenient, and the main attractions are within walking distance. The kitchen utensils are sufficient, and breakfast is available. There are bread, cakes, eggs, coffee and milk tea for you to add. The only reason is that the internal sound insulation is relatively poor. It will be very disturbing if there are other guests who are noisy.

The shower room is next to the toilet. (There seemed to be another one, but I didn't use it.) When I used one, only cold water came out, and one gave very lukewarm hot water, but not enough, and the support for the shower was broken. Laundry costs 4 euros. There is also a drying area and a dryer. The rooms and common spaces are clean enough. When I stayed there, there was little communication and everyone was spending their time.

Breakfast is a bit expensive but not bad (if possible, I would recommend going to a nearby supermarket to buy what you want to eat and return to the hotel to heat it up). The washing machine will have a slight glitch, but the dryer is not bad. The quality of the tenants is not bad, and the people at the counter are also very nice. good. People here are very quiet, not as noisy as Madrid🤣

If you are going directly from the airport, be sure to use a taxi. There were two ways to do it: get off the airport bus and walk with a suitcase, or transfer to the subway, but both were very difficult. It was fortunate that there was an elevator. I had to walk about 20 minutes from the square, so it felt too far (to walk) from all the tourist attractions. However, the accommodation was cute and pretty and the staff were all friendly. The staff worked 24 hours a day, so it was easy to check in and out, and it felt safe. And it always seemed to be kept clean. It was my first time staying in a shared room, but the travelers I stayed with were very considerate, so I was able to stay quietly and comfortably. However, the bed is small and can be a bit hot. There is no supermarket nearby, but luckily there is a vending machine, which was great for quickly buying water or snacks. There were a lot of people in the evening on the road leading to the square, and restaurants had outdoor tables open late, so it felt safe to walk at night, and it was nice that there were many places to eat. There are two Starbucks within a 5-minute walk.

Overall, I was satisfied with everything, but the water in the shower room did not drain properly, so when I showered, water was often just there, and there was no separate place to store clothes, towels, or shower supplies in the shower room, which was inconvenient.
