Find Top Hostels in Barcelona

The service was very good. The front desk staff was very enthusiastic. They recommended tourist attractions and restaurants to me and cared about me as a traveler. They also had a pleasant chat with us. However, the room was very poor. There were about three rooms with 12 people sharing one bathroom and toilet. The quality of the roommates was average. The bed was very hard. There was a strange smell in the room. I didn't sleep well all night.

This was an unplanned, last-minute trip to Barcelona; I booked the flight just over three hours before departure. Hotels in Barcelona aren't cheap, and after walking all day, I really just needed a place to crash. It felt like a waste for one person, but it was my first time staying in a hostel. The environment, cleanliness, and location were all pretty good. The people were from all over – a Filipino-American, a Korean pastry chef who broke her arm and had to rest for six months, and exchange students from China. It was a memorable experience. The hostel is about a fifteen-minute walk from the airport bus stop. The entrance is tiny, and you have to ring the doorbell. Not far across the street, there's a good Chinese hotpot buffet, I think for 29 Euros. The sunset at Bunkers del Carmel and the sunrise at the beach are both worth seeing. Don't forget to try the churros with chocolate!

Great location! It's a short walk to Gaudí's three famous buildings, the metro station, and a supermarket. I opted for breakfast, which was decent. I didn't try dinner as 9 PM is a bit late for my schedule, but I did notice the food quality looked quite good. The wardrobe in the room was incredibly spacious and held a lot.

There's only one bathroom to be shared by more than 6 people (who knows exactly how many). Only reason I booked is it's relatively a cheap option. Also the staff who assisted me was a legend. He gave me a mini tour of the facility. Greatly appreciated. Wouldn't stay again esp if there's other reasonably priced options. The location isn't that good either. It's pretty far to landmarks

This was a truly wonderful place to stay! I accidentally left something behind at the hotel, but they were incredibly kind and helpful, keeping it safe for two days and even arranging for DHL pickup. They also offered laundry service for an additional fee (they mentioned having an 8kg washing machine). I do agree that there's room for improvement with the locks. However, the staff were lovely, and my roommates were all very kind and quiet. I'd love to stay here again if I get the chance.

This hotel is quite good overall, but it can get very crowded. During peak hours in the morning and evening, waiting for the elevator can take a long time, and sometimes using the stairs is faster. There are many food options near the hotel, and shopping is also very convenient. One thing to note is that the hotel does not provide a public kitchen, so cooking is not possible. However, hot water is available for simple instant meals like noodles, and there is seating available in the restaurant area for resting.

A Home Away from Home – Perfect Location & Amazing Vibes! This is hands down one of the best hostels I’ve stayed in! It truly felt like a home away from home. The beds are super comfortable, the entire place is clean and well-kept, and the staff are absolutely wonderful—friendly, helpful, and always ready with a smile. The location couldn’t be better. It’s easily accessible by metro from the airport—just grab a TMB metro card (very cheap and convenient), take Line 9 to the interchange with Line 1, and get off at Urquinaona. From there, it’s just a 3-minute walk to the hostel. You’re close to everything! If you're looking for a cozy, clean, and well-connected place to stay in the city, this is it. Highly recommended!

We recently stayed in a 4-bunk room at this hostel for two nights. Overall, the experience was decent, though there were a few notable drawbacks. Pros:- The locker and bed facilities were excellent, spacious, secure, and more than adequate for four guests. The general service was acceptable, with staff being reasonably responsive and helpful. Cons:- The shower was a major issue. Despite adjusting the temperature lever, it often only produced hot water, which was uncomfortable and frustrating. The air conditioning was inconsistent and, at times, ineffective. In a humid climate, this made the room feel unbearably hot. Unfortunately, opening the window isn’t an option, as it’s linked to the air conditioning system and automatically shuts off when the window is opened. Summary:- While the sleeping arrangements and security features were commendable, the poor shower and unreliable air conditioning significantly impacted our comfort. These are essential amenities, especially in a humid environment, and I hope the hostel addresses them soon.

The place is clean but the lady in the reception with specs is sarcastic. She expect people to understand her. While she was talking so rude the other guy was laughing. better dont get this kind of people as it will ruin your reputation as you are running a service related business. And sometimes you wont know how a customer can help the business gain good eyeballs.

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.
