A picturesque antique lift wheezes its way up to this 4th-floor, 15-room hostal, a terrific cheapie in one of Barcelona's most expensive neighbourhoods, going strong since 1931. Some of the singles barely fit a bed but doubles are bright and spacious (some with tiled floors, others parquet). A few rooms overlook Passeig de Gràcia; the most affordable share bathrooms.
