Hostal Agua Alegre Accommodation 2 Stars in Barcelona, España

The 2 star Hostal Agua Alegre oozes Mediterranean charm with a tropical foliage-filled terrace on which to sip a good coffee. Located in the neighbourhood of l'Eixample, an elegant residential area 2 blocks away from the uber-chic Paseo de Gracia, and 10 minutes by foot to Plaza de Cataluña. A leisurely walk of 15 minutes will take you to the historic city centre where you can find the magnificent Palau de la Música or the Catedral of Barcelona. Did we forget to mention Casa Batlló and La Pedrera? If you are not very keen on walking or are simply tired there are plenty of underground, regional train and bus stations nearby. This hostel is situated in a turn of the century Modernist building, and has been completely reformed for modern-day comforts. Closer to the hostel are several intriguing Gaudi structures including La Pedrera (also known as Casa Mila), Casa Batlló (which was nicknamed “the bone house” because of the shape of the columns in front of the first floor windows) and finally Gaudi’s masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia Cathedral is not far away. The staff at the Agua Alegre reflect the friendly name of the hostel, and will make you feel right at home. The rooms are unique, decorated with their own particular style, and are painted with ornamental details. They are spacious with high ceilings, which are characteristic of this kind of building. There are rooms with or without en-suite bathrooms, and the latter are brand new, clean and spacious. A communal living room is available for the use of all guests. Safe at reception and 24-hour concierge. Friendly and charming with a gorgeous garden terrace, the Agua Alegre will make you feel pampered.
