About
Casa Nido Diagonal
Casa Nido Diagonal sits right on Barcelona's broad Diagonal avenue, a short walk from the Modernista facades of Casa Batlló and the Provença-Diagonal metro station. It's a hostel in the classic sense: dormitory beds and private rooms, a shared lounge for relaxing, and a kitchen you can use. The vibe is informal and practical, aimed at travellers who want to be in the middle of things without the hotel price tag.
The building itself is straightforward — parquet floors, a lift, 24-hour security, and key-card access. Express check-in and check-out keep things moving, and there's a business centre if you need to get work done. Given the price point and the location, it's a solid base for exploring the city on foot.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed ratings overall — The property's overall score is 6.6, below the Barcelona average of 8.8, with lower marks for value and general experience.
- Language barrier at check-in — At least one guest reported that English was limited at reception, though staff made an effort to communicate.
- Basic rooms, some with underground windows — Private rooms are simple, and one guest mentioned a window facing an interior lightwell rather than the street.
- No pets and no on-site parking — Pets are not allowed, and there is no parking listed, so you'll need to rely on public transport or nearby garages.
