Gat Raval

Frommer's Review

From grim and grungy to green and groovy, the Gat Raval is the first in this extraordinary little chain's mini-empire and has been pioneering in giving hostal accommodations a much-needed face-lift. The Gats (Catalan for "cats") are notably both cool and economical, though guests may find it a bit noisy when that coolness occasionally yields to unrestrained hedonistic exuberance. Decorated in bright acid greens with black trim, the neat bedrooms are decorated with original works from the local art school that give it an upbeat bohemian vibe. Only some of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms (stipulate when booking) and communal arrangements are so clean you could eat your dinner off the floor.
