Ella’s Hostel was conveniently located within meters of La Rambla down a quiet side street. Within short walking distance of gothic quarter, Palau güell, plaça de Catalunya, Mercado de La Boqueria, casa battló and many other great locations (including bars and restaurants). Perfect location for a first visit to Barcelona. I was travelling alone and always felt safe in and around the accomodation. The room was clean and very comfortable and the staff were lovely.
