Hotels in Gracia - Barcelona

Positiv:: I like the vibe and that everything I needed was accessible. It was close enough to attractions, but not in the center of the tourists. It had the feel of a luxury botique hotel.

Positiv:: I stay in Casa Gracia whenever I visit Barcelona and have always been impressed but it has come on leaps and bounds in the last year. It's always very clean, the staff helpful and the rooms simple but pleasant. The ground floor bar is a great addition and executed as tastefully as the rest of the hostel.

Positiv:: Staff speaks English fluently and are very helpful. We were also provided with a very helpful map with key attractions and more. Our room was small but comfortable, clean, and nicely decorated. The restaurant in Casa Gracia is very good, but the cocktail bar in the bottom floor is overpriced and our drinks weren't good. The neighborhood is fantastic, with plenty of places to eat and drink in any direction. Nearby Placa del Sol is a great spot for soaking in the atmosphere and enjoying delicious and cheap drinks and food.

Positiv:: Think back to your dorm room in college. If you went to a public college. And your parents didn’t pay extra to put you in one of the nice dorms. Bare bones. Mattress is very basic. Room is clean and lots of space. Bathroom clean and hot water was consistent. Fantastic location in a fantastic neighborhood. Something to note is Villa Gracia is mainly a residential area that does not attract the tourists that other parts of Barcelona does. It is about 2 miles from Barcelona’s historical center. Villa Gracia has the coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants reminiscent of hip Brooklyn, but surrounded by a traditional/quaint Spanish neighborhood. Definitely plan on walking around one or two evenings to sit in Placa de Sant Joan, check out a few shops and get a drink at one of the many bar cafes. Mama’s Café, Elephanta (awesome gin and tonic bar with wonderful bartenders), and Polleria Fontana were our favorite spots to eat and drink. Residencia Erasmus was merely a cheap way for us to stay in the heart of the neighborhood of Gracia; it was nothing more and nothing less.

Positiv:: It worked for me. But if you are coming to Barcelona for the tourist activities you may want to find something closer to the Gothic Quarter. Easy access to Parc Guell and Gracia and near the tram stop Vallcarcas whick is good as most areas of the city will be by metro. Buy the T-10. Clean and freindly. It has a lift with is a plus in my book. This is a far quieter hotel than you will find in the tourist areas. Not much around the hotel but Cafe Rincon on Ave Republic of Argentina is walking distance and has good bar food. It was priced right for BCN

Positiv:: The view from the rooftop pool is amazing. Housekeeping staff very nice.

Positiv:: The welcoming professional staff when we arrived.
