“Central And Basic Universitat For Young Hostel sits right in the old town, a prime spot for exploring Barcelona; it's a no-frills base, where the rooms are clean and simply furnished. I found the staff particularly helpful, which, combined with the solid location, makes it a reasonable choice for budget-conscious travellers. Be aware that some rooms may have ventilation issues and lack of certain amenities like a microwave.”
