Everything was really great. Situated in an ideal location, and the decorating was very cool too. Breakfast was above and beyond, and the staff was helpful and friendly. This place is a bargain. It was quiet besides the occasional dog barking...but that certainly isnt the owner's fault....

We LOVED Vbrac!! Charming, very clean space with anthropologie-esque feminine decor. Lovely breakfast. They´re all about the details. Highly recommended!

Located in the Gothic Centre and right on La Rambalas, the location couldn't be better for sight seeing. Our room was gorgeous, spacious and very clean. Would recommend to anyone!

I would stay here again in an instant. This place is centrally located, easy to find and beautifully laid out. The place is romantic and enchanting but in a more alternate fashion its not a hotel but much more homely and feels more authentic. The rooms are large and comfortable and the breakfast...

I thought the Hotel was brilliant! It was very clean, the location is perfect, you can not get a better location. The only thing I would say is that the 4/5 flights of stairs is tiring after a day out exploring and the noise from the street is a bit loud sometimes....but apart from that the hotel... more I thought the Hotel was brilliant!

A very charming spot, absolutely fantastically furnished with love for details, the staff was great, the breakfast good, the only downside was the noise from the street, but i guess asking for a place in the city center includes that as well ;-) so many thanks to the vrabac and its nice people! :-)

Vrabac is simply great place to stay. Quite cheap (considering its location in the centre of the town), clean, beautyful, perfect friendly stuff. The only thing not-so-good was noise comming from very bussy Portaferrisa street in the night. If you book a room ask where its windows are situated :o)

the location of the hostal is great, but it is 4 floors up so that was a big of a drag. the staff we met - nicolas & sonia - were wonderful! great hostal - i only wish it wasn't 4 flights of stairs to climb after a long day out. then again, i'm quite an old geezer. :)

Excellent location on La Ramba road so it means you never be out of reach to any tourist attractions. A few mins walk to Metro. Friendly and helpful staff. The only bad thing is there is no lift so you have to carry your luggague to the forth floor where the hostal located. Anyway, I really enjoy... more Excellent location on La Ramba road so it means you never be out of reach to any tourist attractions. A few mins walk to Metro. Friendly and helpful staff.

Our room was lovely but being next to the breakfast room meant we heard the music more than we would have wanted. Breakfats, service etc. excellent though, and I'd recommend it as a clean and stylish option right in the heart of the city.
