One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in

Pros: One of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in! Clean, comfortable, friendly, social, and in an unbeatable location in Barcelona. I especially loved the easy-to-join group chat which gave us activities to do every day, and the lovely common room which was so cosy and comfortable. The kitchen and balconies are also a huge bonus, and the bathrooms were very clean. Loved also that everyone got a locker and that each bed had a privacy curtain, reading light and charging ports.

Cons: The only thing I struggled with was noise - there was construction noise on the street which wasn’t their fault, but it was also easy to hear people talking through the walls while trying to sleep. To Itaca’s credit, they close the common area at midnight to try to stop sleep disturbances, but sound still carries through the space from the kitchen and through the walls; and I think they may need to enforce the post-10pm quiet policy more strictly (at least in bedroom areas).

Gooood

Pros: It is literally on the corner of the cathedral, a great location if you want to be in the middle of all the main touristic objects. Friendly staff, every evening there is an activity organised by the hostel and you can join it and have some fun. Everything in the shared areas seemed clean and tidy.

Cons: Not a very comfortable ladder to go to the top bunk bed xD
