Positive experience: Atypical hostel in an old vacation home from the 19th/20th century. The outdated decor adds to the magic of this place. Friendly welcome from the host. From the kitchen to the laundry, which have kept the equipment from the time, everything, including the tiles, makes this a unique place where you don't just come to sleep at a good price (20€) but to take a leap into history. Sheets and blankets provided. Very clean sanitary facilities. I particularly recommend.

Fantastic experience: A stately building with a lot of history that we must thank the person in charge of the hostel for explaining to us in an extensive and detailed way. Former summer residence of the 'American' Manuel Malagrida, promoter of the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood where the building is located. Although it does not have bathrooms in the rooms, as a hostel it fulfills its function quite well, well maintained, clean, and functional.

Montse Màrquez 22/09/2024

Positive experience: I visited this great house out of curiosity without using it as a hostel. The gardens, like the house, are well maintained, clean, with magnificent stained glass windows, blankets welcome you without any receptionist, simple and humble furniture for a hostel is just fine. All together it makes me sad because I believe it can be made more beautiful and provide better service.
Translated from Catalan

Xanascat - Alberg Torre Malagrida
Thank you Montse. We are sorry that at the time of your visit you didn't find anyone at reception. The person who was working had to serve breakfast on the lower floor and attend to requests regarding the departure of the users. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit to show you the building and explain a bit of history. Best regards

Fantastic experience: They gave us the room with a private bathroom on the ground floor. That is a luxury in a hostel. The little dog didn’t bother anyone at all. The staff's attention was excellent. They help you with everything. The location is great, close to the center. Easy parking. My children, despite starting to be a bit older, ended up having a good family experience, which is what it’s all about. Thank you for everything.

Fantastic experience: We really enjoyed our stay. The staff is great. Both the women in the dining room and the guy at the reception were super nice and attentive. The rooms are fine, like the rest of the Xanascat hostels. And the food, for not being homemade, was very good. There is salad and fruit at every meal, desserts from La Fageda, and sugar-free sweets at breakfast. It is true that the shower water comes out rather lukewarm and for the little ones, it can be a bit cold in winter. But the accommodation is beautiful and cozy, surrounded by a garden and very well located. Next to parks and close to activities. Additionally, the children's playroom has everything. We will definitely return. Thank you.

Marc Orta 11/12/2023

Positive experience: As mentioned, the hostel is a manor house like others found on the same avenue. We were with the Vacances en Família program during the December bridge with three girls aged 7, 5, and 3. The staff were very nice and attentive, and the location is excellent, you can walk to all places in 10-15 minutes. The food is catered and is simply okay, not among the best I have tried in hostels. Regarding the rooms, in our case, we got the main one that has a private bathroom, but the rest do not. However, the water in the shower came out lukewarm towards hot, which was not pleasant in December. I mentioned it at reception and they told me it's been happening for a couple of years and in theory, they will fix it now, other guests had also complained. Too bad because hot water in the shower is basic for me. The rest, as I mentioned, was fine.

Gerard Sellés Valls 07/09/2023

Positive experience: As usual, the attention of the hostel staff was attentive at all times and willing to meet our needs. I would highlight the hostel's privileged location, in the center of Olot, which differentiates it from other hostels located on the outskirts of the city; in this sense, the problem may be finding parking, although we did not have any issues finding it around the hostel. The property of the hostel is magnificent, with gardens surrounding it that are ideal for children to play, but still, one must be careful because the access points are open day and night. The only downside we could mention is that the rooms have shared bathrooms, but nonetheless, it must be said that the cleanliness of these areas is very optimal.

Miquel Higuera 23/08/2023

Positive experience: Hostel very well located to visit Olot and the Garrotxa in general. The building is a century-old summer house renovated and adapted as a hostel. The service is correct and friendly, and the food, considering it is catering, was not bad at all. It is missed not being able to choose between 2 starters and 2 main courses, but well, it is a hostel and it is understood. The main floor with the common areas is very beautiful. The rooms on the upper floor are fine for being a hostel, but they do not have a bathroom and this made our stay very uncomfortable. Furthermore, being under the roof, the room turned into an oven and, although they left us a fan, we experienced a lot of heat that, combined with having to share showers and restrooms, made the experience not as satisfactory as we wanted. Another negative point is that the upper floor can only be accessed by a narrow staircase and, therefore, it does not have access for people with reduced mobility or, as in our case, it is complicated to bring up a baby stroller. Lastly, I can only say that the City Council, current owner of the building, or the Generalitat, current manager of the hostel, should invest a little more resources into the conservation and maintenance of the facilities.

Fantastic experience: It is a privilege to stay in a building like Torre Malagrida. The architecture and decoration are well preserved both outside and inside. A spectacular stained glass window stands out on the ceiling. The gardens are well maintained, and you can constantly hear birds. Regarding the hostel, good service, good game room, and in our case, we got a spacious room that is much more comfortable than all the ones we have visited on other occasions with the Family Holidays program. Just one suggestion, it would be great to have a coffee machine or a capsule coffee maker in some common area! Definitely an experience to repeat as accommodation in such a fantastic setting as Olot and Garrotxa!

Jordi Masó 04/06/2023

Positive experience: The hostel is a manor house from the last century very well located within Olot, you can walk everywhere without problems. Regarding the surroundings, there are very interesting visits to make in the area (the Fageda d'en Jordà, Besalú, Castellfollit de la Roca, etc...) The house itself needs some renovation, but as a hostel it is not bad. The service is very good and attentive, although I think there should be a bit more staff, as there isn't always someone at reception. Despite not having a kitchen, the food is not bad. In summary, it is a fairly recommendable hostel, especially because of its location.

Daniel Gutiérrez 05/02/2023

Positive experience: The house is beautiful and well located. The staff is friendly, and the price is very economical. However, there are essential things to improve, such as the shower water being lukewarm, the mattresses being very bad, or that nobody cleaned the toilets over the weekend. Avoid rooms 3 and 4 (they face the avenue where a lot of traffic passes all night).

Saturnino Pascual 05/11/2022

Fantastic experience: Very good, I recommend it. Good lunch, both sweet and savory. I liked the dinner, two first courses and two second courses with a choice of sides, varied desserts. The town is very beautiful, we visited farms La Fagera, we would like to return. We also saw the volcanoes and collected some lava rocks as souvenirs.

Noemi Rodriguez 20/10/2022

Fantastic experience: The building is very special. They treated me well and did everything possible to make space for me, although it wasn't easy for them. I stopped on the route of the cycling greenway and they provided a safe place for me to leave it. Zak (not sure if I spell it right) was very attentive, who attended to me, although there was another young woman who I couldn't interact with much but was attentive. It's a basic hostel, and if someone expects a star-rated hotel, they should go to one like that. For me, it met my expectations, although I got a bit cold because I'm sensitive to temperatures. I didn't try the food because I already brought my own. As for the showers and the lack of pressure that some users mention, I found it sufficient. Moreover, it was super clean. It’s a family hostel and kids will be kids and make noise. It bothered me a bit, but you have to understand it, and anyway, at 11 PM, total silence. We need to learn to coexist and understand that everyone has their needs, and we need to be flexible, especially when it comes to very economical accommodation. I’m looking forward to coming back. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: It's one of those places that I wished I knew existed when I arrived in Spain. The second most gorgeous hostel I stayed in and the girl at the front desk was not just nice but really caring. Olot is a unique place being so close to Barcelona, enveloped in nature (volcanic mountains overgrown with lush temperate forests and cascading waterfalls forming turquoise blue swimming pools). I made sure to spend a few days here catching the break from the heat and pollution of the city before heading north.

Positive experience: Hostel in the heart of Olot. It is a stately mansion from the early 20th century, very well maintained and kept, a great opportunity to travel back in time. Inside, it is adapted as a hostel. Many nearby routes to enjoy the fascinating landscapes of Garrotxa, either by walking or cycling. The Bosc de la Fageda is a must, unique. I also recommend visiting the Santa Margarita volcano. The food at the hostel is good, though always improvable. Attention to detail is top notch, all the people working there are very friendly.

Positive experience: Very good! An ancient neoclassical residence built in 1920 by Mr. Manuel Malagrida, who went to make his fortune in America and returned rich. At the end of his life, he decided to donate this small palace to the City Council, and since then it has been publicly managed. Now converted into a hostel, it has several common rooms and a very spacious dining room. The bathrooms have been renovated, are clean, with wide showers and toilets adapted for people with reduced mobility. There is free wifi, although sometimes it works a bit slowly. Ideal location for excursions in the area: La Fageda d’en Jordà is only 4 km away!

Positive experience: Very dissatisfied with the infrastructure, very satisfied with the staff. There are rooms with a direct window onto the main street of Olot, very and very noisy, and with the summer heat it became very difficult to sleep (choosing between noise or not being able to breathe). The food, one of the worst we have tasted in the Xanascat hostels: correct quantities, but tasteless to boot. The "picnic" consisted of sandwiches without tomato or oil and a bit of ham or cheese.

They have a good playroom for the little ones and enough rooms with tables and space to relax as if you were at home. The food takes away a bit, the rest adds a lot.

Fantastic experience: Hostel that is an imposing tower in a noucentista style in Olot, surrounded by gardens with towering and monumental trees, it was built in the 1920s, it is a very elegant hostel, with neoclassical architecture. It has austere but correct rooms, with bunk beds,... I spent a weekend there, the atmosphere is very family-oriented and very healthy,.. it's full of hikers, children... I loved it, besides the fact that I liked the architecture, it is surrounded by those gardens which give it an even more bucolic air... and even though it rained a lot... I will definitely come back!!

By car, we can go to the Fageda d'en Jordà, Croscat volcanoes, sta. Margarida...

mireia jané 18/06/2018

Positive experience: The building is fantastic, and the location is very central. Perhaps they should improve the sheets, the bedding, the ones we had were like cigarette paper, so thin and worn out... The guy at reception gets a 10.

Francesc JM 17/06/2018

Positive experience: Hostel in a modernist tower, with few places, cozy and well located. The food is just okay, not always very good, and private showers and toilets are missed, they are only communal but it is compensated by the good treatment and the idyllic space.

Lo ArMa 24/09/2017

Fantastic experience: We stayed for two days with our daughters. It is a hostel in a stately building and very family-oriented. There were often families with young children. They offer maps and assistance about what to visit. Simple and humble room but very very affordable. Modern shared bathroom in good condition. We went with breakfast included.

Natxo Varona 17/09/2017

MERCEDES BRIONES DIJORT 27/08/2017

Positive experience: We were there this weekend with the Vacances en família program. The hostel is beautiful: a modernist house with a spectacular garden and in the center of everything. The showers and bathrooms are shared, but they are very nice. The reception staff is very attentive and friendly. The negative point has been the food. We know it's a hostel and it's very well priced, but we've been to several, and none like this one. The lady who served the dishes did it with very little enthusiasm and was a bit unpleasant. On Saturday night, we asked her if they had any place to recycle a glass bottle, and she told us there were containers on the street. That’s fine, but we heard her mutter: 'poca feina' in a very rude way. Today we ordered a picnic, and when we ordered it yesterday, they told us the sandwiches would be made with payés bread because there would be no baguette on Sunday: no problem, we replied, but they gave us a baguette that was at least three days old, impossible to eat. What a shame.

Rebeca López 23/08/2017

Positive experience: Excellent food, good service, and clean. Typical hostel rooms but without a bathroom. Too many stairs for everything. Old showers and water with almost no pressure, temperature not adjustable. On hot days, it is essential to ask for a fan at reception. You can hear many cars and motorcycles as it is on a main avenue, since it is central and well located.

Positive experience: Architecturally spectacular building. The price includes sheets and blankets and a small breakfast. There is the possibility to rent towels. The restrooms and showers on the lower floor were recently renovated, but those on the upper floor still cannot regulate the water temperature in the showers. Customer service is excellent, they resolved all our doubts regarding the hostel and the recommendations to visit the surroundings were very well explained.
