Live Barcelona like a local: your perfect base at Central & Basic

Discover the authentic essence of Barcelona

Barcelona is not just a city to visit, it is a place to feel. And at Central & Basic we want you to experience its authentic rhythm: walks among modernist buildings, markets full of life and the Mediterranean caressing every corner. Our hostel is located in the heart of the city, which allows you to start every adventure without wasting time traveling.

Gothic Quarter: history in every stone

Getting lost in its medieval streets is a plan in itself. Just leave the hostel and let the city guide you. A few minutes away from Central & Basic you will find hidden squares where time seems to stand still, cathedrals that impose with their history, and coffee shops full of charm where the aroma of freshly ground coffee mingles with the buzz of local life. Each corner reveals something different: street musicians, small galleries, old facades and that bohemian atmosphere that makes Barcelona a unique place to explore without a map and without haste...

Culture, art and modernism... at your fingertips

From the Palau de la Música to the most visited museums, our location connects you to the cultural richness of Barcelona. In addition, you can visit Gaudí's jewels such as Casa Batlló or La Pedrera within walking distance.

A social and authentic experience

Staying at Central & Basic means connecting: with travelers from all over the world, with the energy of the city and also with yourself. Here conversations arise by themselves and every encounter can become a story to remember. Our atmosphere is close, relaxed and designed for you to live Barcelona like a local: with real recommendations, spontaneous plans and the freedom to discover the city at your own pace, without pretensions and with an open heart.
