Barcelona is a city of charming streets, busy with people and full of life. The old town, comprising the Gothic quarter, the Rivera and Raval districts, is famed for its historical monuments, narrow streets and bohemian atmosphere. The city also has the biggest selection of modernist architecture; most of these buildings are in the Eixample district which constitutes a unique model of European urban planning.

Barcelona is the only European capital with over four kilometres of beaches where you can enjoy the most modern amenities and these beaches are not far from Barcelona's historical landmarks, and they have opened up our modern and cosmopolitan city to the sea.

The Safestay Gothic is one of the Safestay Hostels all around Europe.

As a 20 year old girl traveling alone this place was great! Perfect location near metro and busses, populated area, and lots of good shops and places to eat around. Rooms were clean along with showers and bathrooms. Never worried about my safety or the safety of my luggage either. Room was a bit hot but then again 14 girls amid a European heat wave will do that to you! Simple check in and check out. Overall would stay again!

Its clean, calm, rooms are nice, the only problem I could see is in the kitchen there is only microwave, fridge and sink, so u cant cook meals for yourself

I had no idea until now but they had charged us 52.8€ and I have no idea what for. They took money out for the stay right after I booked which was fine but I have no idea why they took extra when we got there. Some of the showers don’t work properly either, it’s BOILING hot and you literally cannot shower. It’s very dead, not much socialising. Theres only the pub crawl which people warned us not to go on because it flopped. The location is alright but definitely wouldn’t recommend

Hostelworld says

Safestay Gothic is in Ciutat Vella district, very near Museu Picasso, Jaume I metro stop and Barcelona Cathedral, and about 15 minutes' walk to the beach, the aquarium and the Maremgnum. We like their 'cubicle' style of bunk beds which create a little personal space in large dorm rooms, with privacy curtains, reading lights and power sockets. Many of our guests say they also appreciate the breakfast and the hostel's rooftop terrace.
