  “ Had an amazing time staying at Vrabac. The staff was extremely helpful, spoke good English, and had plenty of tips on how to enjoy our days in Barcelona. The location couldn't be better and the directions on how to get to Vrabac from the airport were spot on. The character of the place was... more awesome - beautiful for a hostel / guesthouse.The breakfast was delicious, great and easy. It Definitely saves you some money. Had an early flight on our last day - they set up a breakfast in our room! close ”

  “ Perfect for couples on a romantic get away! This hostel(I wouldnt have called this a hostel) is nothing less then spectecular. Designed with attention to every detail. Its clean and always has a nice smell, Pavlo is extremly helpfull and overall very nice. The location is as good as it... more it gets. Breakfast is simple buffe which is not extravagent but very satisfying. If you are coming in off season, order one or two nights via this interface. close ”

  “ We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona at the Vrabac, as the location was perfect. It is true that the street noise is VERY loud compared to the norm. The service is friendly and good though, and the place has a nice charm to it. I will probably spend a little more money in the future for a few... more few extra amenities not common to hostels or guesthouses, but overall, this was a good experience. close ”

  “ An excellent choise for your stay in Barcelona. Great location, beautiful hostel and interior. The best part of the day was the beautifully set breakfast and on weekends you get free tapas. What more can you ask! Because of the location, there's always noise in the street. So if you sleep... more lightly, ask for a room that's not facing the street. I had the best time in Barcelona and I highly recommend Vrabac to everyone. Thank you Nicolas and Oscar! close ”

  “ Firstly I must say that we loved our stay at Vrabac & highly recommend it. Our only slight concern was that our room only had a Japanese style screen separating it from the balcony area. This meant that cigarette smoke & noise from people talking kept us awake until the early hours. Plus... more Plus it was necessary to nip out of our room to turn the lights off after folk had left so that the light didn't shine into our bedroom. I'm a very light sleeper and perhaps it wouldn't annoy most people. Great place close ”

  “ Beautiful hostel that could almost be described as a botique hotel, great location, immaculately clean and the staff were extremely helpful. This hostel is not great if you are looking to meet other travellers as it was very quiet but for a couple on a short break we couldn't have asked for more! ”

  “ Very pleasant, calm place. lovely interior. Room cleaned, fresh sheets everyday. Very safe. Staff friendly, helpful, welcoming. Easy to access all aspects of city from here, yet quiet, safe street. Felt like home. Offer a drink + tapas on Friday, Saturday evening in elegant sitting room -... more potentially nice way to meet others. Able to use room after check-out until flight time. Not much ventilation at height of summer but fridge in room for chilled water! Will definitely be staying here again. close ”

  “ For the price, air conditioning could have been included (more hotel-like) - this is a must in Barcelona as a fan is not enough to cool you in the summer. Sharing a small double bed might also be a bit of a pain. Other than that, the location, service and atmosphere are good. ”

  “ the location and initial charm of this place was good, however i found that the interaction with other guests and the staff is minimal and at the 'free tapas' on friday night i felt like i was intruding on the owner's private party. also my room had a very funny smell to it. ”

  “ The hostel was nice, clean (minus our isolated incident) and in a great location. We just never ended up staying the night as we had to kill a cockroach at around 11pm (Ended up staying at Le Meridian across the street). There's no phone in the hostel, so be advised that you have to use the... more public pay phones on La Rambla surrounded by hookers and drug dealers late at night if you need to get in touch with the owners during an emergency. close ”

  “ I strongly recommend the guesthouse, especially to couples of all ages. Everything is arranged with a lot of style, location is great. Breakfast is selfservice - very stylish. The only thing I would suggest is not to be punctual at breakfast because first you will get "leftovers" from... more from yesterday. It is clean, but it is better to eat freshly sliced food. The hostel is really calm, but during weekends loud people from the street can wake you up (if you are in the rooms, facing the street). close ”

  “ What a fantastic place!In a street full of brilliant shops,just off La Rambla's and 2 minutes from Cataluyna.The rooms were beautiful, filled with character.The owners were extremely pleasent and welcoming. The breakfast was more then adequate. Rooms cleaned everyday and bedding replaced every 3... more every 3 days. Surprisingly easy to find, go to metro stop Liceu then walkup towards to Caraluyna and it's the 1st street on the right,then look for a blue door numbered 14. Highly recommened!Would come again. close ”

  “ The location was excellent. The only problem was being at the front of the building the noise from the street below carried upstairs and 2 of the 3 nights were interupted due to the street noise. I would go again but just ask for a room which is not at the front. ”
