Links - Barcelona Accommodation
Gothic Point Youth Hostel, Barcelona
We stayed here, it has its own website now, www.gothicpoint.com,
which is Flash based and abit crap, but the reservation
address is www.equity-point.com/reserves/gothicpoint/index_ing.html.
We originally booked it through www.hostelworld.com,
which was fine, and there are others to pick from. The rooms here
are basic, if you want peace and quiet then I'd avoid this.
Hostel Benidorm
We later stayed hear and found it very comfortable. Its not the
cheapest of places and its abit noisy as its on the Rambles in
Barcelona, but apart from that, its clean, safe and well located.
This
is the only link I could find, we didn't book through this website.
