It has a fabulous common area for chilling out in and getting to know other guests from all around the world.
Either way, you're in luck because the Vrabac Guesthouse thrusts you into the Gothic heart of Barcelona. Each bunk in the dorms has a reading light as well.
This gay friendly hostel is charming and small, with just five rooms – one mixed room with nine beds, two mixed rooms for eight people, one mixed room for six people and one of six just for girls.
Owned by the ever so charming Juan and Carlos, the building is decorated with fine art pieces – from modern style paintings to chic furnishing, this place is an art lovers paradise! Eixample’s population is noticeably queer and even more noticeably cool - there’s nowhere like it for world-class people watching.
For LGBTQ+ travelers, finding accommodations that are not only comfortable but also inclusive and gay-friendly is essential to ensuring a memorable stay. Whether you choose Axel Hotel Barcelona for its trendy vibe, The Wittmore Hotel for its intimate charm, or Praktik Vinoteca for its unique wine theme, you’ll find a place that caters to your preferences.

We've published our very own gay travel book called, ‘Out in the World'. Unlike on Airbnb, you know your host is gay, avoiding any nasty surprises when you check in. Eixample is also jam-packed with examples of Spain’s 20th century Modernism, making it a popular choice for architecture buffs.
The beds are so comfy and the showers offer excellent water pressure – which is definitely not always the case in hostels. You can choose between a private room (albeit with a shared bathroom) or a dorm for up to 10 people. The rooms are generally quite spacious, so you don't even feel as if you are staying in a hostel, especially since they all have private bathrooms.
But first and foremost, they have created a free and tolerant society, where diversity and respect are valued, and everyone is equally welcome without prejudice to their gender identity and expression. Should you go cheap and single?
Just 40 minutes from Barcelona by train, Sitges is often considered to be Europe's gayest town. It helps us keep our blog going – so thank you in advance for your support!

The spacing can feel a bit tight, but there's great character and charm that fills up the rooms.
It's a simple gay friendly hostel, but very clean and comfy.
