Hostels in Catalonia, Spain

My child had a solo trip and stayed for three nights. It was convenient, clean, and most importantly, safe, especially for a female traveler. She returned home safely from this trip. Before she left, I was worried about her safety, but everything turned out fine. I'm grateful for the warmth and friendliness of the locals in Barcelona and other tourists towards my child. And even more grateful for the beauty Gaudi has given to the world. We'll definitely stay here again next time we visit Barcelona.

The hostel is clean and tidy even the bathroom although it's the sharing one but superb. The staff is super friendly and they are great in English so don't worry about it. And yet they had free stuff that was put on the receptionist. But if you want to travel to the centre of Barcelona, this hostel is pretty far from it. But so far it's awesome experience

Staff are constantly keeping the place clean. Bar and restaurant next door. Nice beds with privacy curtains. Lots of events and parties so you can easily meet other people. Weird thing is the showers are on like a 15 second timer so to have a decent shower you have to keep pressing the button, then the room is not heated so it gets very cold.

This place is VERY far from the city centre and the beaches so keep that in mind when booking. Although the hostel itself is safe, bussing back at 5 am which takes about 1 hour from the clubs and city centre is not great. The room is small but it does the job. Staff are super nice and the amenities are good.

Overall, a good stay with a Few Minor Issues I stayed at Safestay Barcelona Gothic from June 17–18, 2025, in a 12-bed mixed dorm. The experience was mostly positive. ✅ Pros: The location is excellent — just a 5-minute walk from the metro, which made it easy to get around. If you have an early flight (like mine at 08:30), this is a good place to stay as you can easily reach the airport in time. The dorm, bathrooms, and common areas were all neat and clean. Wi-Fi worked well throughout my stay. The staff was friendly and spoke good English. Definitely value for money. ⚠️ Cons: The check-in time listed in my confirmation email was 14:00, but they didn’t allow check-in until 15:00. This was a bit inconvenient. Breakfast was not included in the booking. Overall, it’s a decent and budget-friendly option in a central area, especially for solo or budget travellers. I would recommend it for short stays.

360 Hostel Borne is a cozy and sociable hostel located near the Arc de Triomf and just a short walk from the Gothic Quarter and El Born district. It’s well-known for its welcoming atmosphere, free activities, and community feel—ideal for solo travelers and backpackers.

Breakfast is available EUR5 from 4 am, prearranged taxi to airport is available on pre booking first come first get basis. Midnight bus n17 to the airport is at the corner of the hotel accepted by T casual mobility card. An elevator is available at the hotel, highly recommended

Very nice location.

I stayed here during my solo trip and had the best experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff were so warm, friendly, and helpful — they really made me feel at home. The bathrooms were spotless and well maintained, which made such a big difference during my stay. The whole place had a really welcoming and positive vibe, and it was super easy to meet other travelers and make friends. As a solo traveler, I always look for places that feel safe and comfortable, and this hostel ticked all the boxes. The common areas were lively but relaxed, perfect for chatting, reading, or just hanging out. I left with great memories and new friends — I’d 100% recommend this hostel to anyone, especially solo travelers looking for a clean, friendly, and fun place to stay!

Super close to the Arc de Triomphe and the old town, the daily free dinner cooking program is a major highlight, the tour program is great, and tipping is optional 😊 The counter staff are very friendly, enthusiastic, and understanding, thumbs up! 👍
