The Vrabac Guesthouse is a great place to stay if you want to stay central, sleep in nice and clean rooms at a fair price - while being treated in an incredible friendly manner by the staff. Highly recommendable.

The staff is extremely attentive and efficient. We arrived late on a Tuesday and were facilitated in every way. We stayed the first couple of nights in a room with shared bathrooms and the experience was very good, much better than we expected. The showers and toilets were kept incredibly clean and we never had any problem regarding schedules. Then we moved to a room with a bathroom for our own use (not en-suite) and it was, again, lovely.
Breakfast every morning was a delight. The display of fruit, cold meats, bread, home-made yoghurt and other was fantastic. We looked forward to this moment every day. The staff were kind enough to prepare a tray with fruit, bread and jam for us for our early departure on our last day there, which was much appreciated.
The location is just wonderful, right at the centre of Barcelona.
The only warning I would have to give is that this is a place for healthy people, the building does not have a lift and everything has to be carried up the many flights of stairs. Having said that, I liked doing that bit of extra exercise.

My partner and I stayed in the guesthouse in late August 2010. The hosts were very easy to communicate with beforehand, especially given we were arriving quite late. We were offered a double room with our own bathroom, rather than the share bathroom. We took this offer however there would have been no problem sharing a bathroom either. The hosts were fantastic - we were able to get out laundry done, free internet, the breakfasts were the best we had in 4 weeks in Spain and the whole 'vibe' of the hostel was one of warmth and calmness. My only problem was that in August it was very hard to get to sleep in the afternoons and at night with no air conditioning. The fans did help at night but during the day it could be unbearable. I think September/ October would have been much more comfortable. Overall though a fantastic stay and I would highly recommend.

I go along with most of what has already been said by other reviewers. Our room was small, the bed hard. We chose it so that we were closer to the toilet/shower room - didn't fancy long walks along the hall. Sleep was very disturbed by our neighbour arriving at 3.a.m., clonking around in high heels. Also the exit door makes an awful noise when it slams shut.
I like scented candles and music but not with my breakfast.
That said, we did enjoy our stay and Danielle was very helpful.
