Backpackers BCN Casanova

Backpackers BCN Casanova is close to Casa Batlló, La Pedrera and Plaça de Catalunya and is within walking distance of most of central Barcelona. This clean and spacious hostel has a large, fully equipped kitchen and space to store food, with a grocery store nearby. Hostelworld guests say the hostel is 'quiet, peaceful, clean and safe' with good security and a communal atmosphere. One traveller told us 'you can [tell] that the staff like to work there and everybody is interested in giving you a nice stay'. We like that it's less than 10 minutes from the daytime venue for the Sónar festival.

Welcome to Backpackers BCN Casanova!

This is a brand-new hostel with new beds, new mattresses, new showers with very good pressure and some of the cleanest rooms in Barcelona.

If you're looking for a nice, peaceful, friendly and cosy place to stay, far from parties with drunk people, come to our hostel and you won't regret it. This is a fun but not a party hostel, with a great respectful atmosphere in a perfect location in a safe area near everything.

We have free breakfast from May to October, including toast, coffee or tea, a muffin and juice. The rest of the year breakfast is €2.

There's air conditioning, heating and huge free lockers in the rooms and rates include free bed linen (sheets and blanket).

Our facilities include free ADSL Internet and Wi-Fi, TV, DVD, library, PlayStation, board games, a fully equipped kitchen, hair dryers and hand soap in the bathrooms, iron and ironing board and free coffee and tea.

You're also welcome to store your luggage here on the day you check out. Laundry service is €11 for a wash and dry. There's no curfew and no lock-out.

Our friendly staff can give you lots of information about tours and free things and events to join.

You'll like this hostel if you need a quiet place to stay, where safety and cleanliness are important; you want to see all the sights and go out at night but have a good rest afterwards; you don't want to spend money on restaurants and prefer to cook your own things here. You won't like it here if you want to party without taking into account the rest of the guests.

Backpackers BCN Casanova is right in the middle of the Eixample Esquerra ('the left of the Eixample'), surrounded by bars, restaurants, banks, supermarkets and clubs. The nearest metro stations are Universitat and Urgell, both in L1, red. It takes 15 minutes on foot to get to Plaza Catalunya and about 35 minutes to get down to the port. If you want, you can even walk to the Sagrada Familia (35 mins) or to other interesting places such as Casa Batlló (10 mins) or Casa Milà (20 mins). If you need to go to Sants Train station or to Estació del Nord (to take the bus to Girona) you'll find that the public transportation is very convenient. If you need to take the bus to the airport, there's a bus stop for the Aerobus just two blocks away from here. It doesn't matter where you are, it's always easy to come to the hostel.

You'll have a nice time here and enjoy the city. In this hostel we don't allow drunk or disrespectful people who disturb the rest of the guests. No football supporters allowed here. We think that travelling and being on holiday doesn't involve getting drunk and crazy and therefore, behaving disrespectfully. Our philosophy is based on respect and good vibes. We want to keep this feeling that we've had since we opened our first hostel, Backpackers BCN Diputació. So if you don't think this is the place you are looking for, check the other options you have in Barcelona and we're sure you'll find what you need.

Backpackers BCN Casanova isn't a huge hostel and that enables the staff to be more personal. We're here to help you so, if you have any question, need advice on something, have a problem and you think we can help… tell us! We will be glad to help you have a memorable stay in Barcelona.
