    Hostel near the airport! We missed our flight out of…read moreBarcelona, and had to get a place for the night while we waited for the next flight the following day. This place is close by the airport, and reasonably priced. We showed up late at night, and managed to get a room right away! When we checked in, they offered one price, which we instantly got reduced when we showed that their online rate for listed as being lower. They honored the online price without having to log on and fill out all these online forms or download apps or whatever. The room we got was down a long corridor, and had six bunkbeds. We all opted to sleep on the bottom bunks. The bathroom looked like a prison cell's bathroom. Everything was made out of one steel sheet, unable to be pried out and made into a shiv. Very institutional. The room we got was hot. Nobody realized until the morning that you have to completely close the patio door in order to get the air conditioner to work. So we left the door open and got completely covered in mosquito bites. Overnight, with the door open, we were treated to the Catalan singing and the yelling of excited, inebriated locals. When we were waking up after a sleepless night all covered in bites, that's when we closed the door properly and the air conditioner kicked on. In the hallway, they have a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin, but they have the years of his birth and death way off. I'm pretty sure Ben Franklin was alive during the American Revolution, and didn't live 1601-1658. They lost a star for that. The breakfast was decent! We had toast, yogurt, some ham, cereal, milk, and coffee. It was a free continental breakfast that was a nice perk.

    Lots of common space, clean, friendly staff. Not for the…read moreloud groups looking to party

I…read morebooked a private room with an ensuite bathroom and my friend was so amazed with the quality that he insisted in taking photos to show back home. The hostel was really clean, there was no noise disturbance at night (except my mates snoring) and I always felt safe in my room. HOWEVER I did come across a man as I was checking who was claiming things had been stolen from him. This is always a worry with sharing with strangers but the security measures were adequate, its the guests who tend not to use them properly. Other than that though I found this place really good and I met a lot of interesting people in the bar. They also sell alcohol here for a good price and there are cans of lager in the vending machine so you can drink 24/7 if thats what you want! Another good thing is there are busy bar streets from the hostel to the city centre so you dont have to go anywhere dodgy. Stick to these touristy streets though as there was one night my friend and me stumbled across an intimidating hooker lined street. If you dont want to stray far from the hostel at night, there is a fab bar just around the corner with beer taps on every table so you can drink away and pay the tab at the end. This bar also does fantastic food and I would recommend the burgers, I had the club burger twice (disgusting when you see it!) and its so big you cant get it all in your mouth!

The rooms were a bit small compared to other hostels I've stayed in, and had to ledges or side tables to keep your things. Bathrooms were relatively clean, although shower stalls were a bit small to maneuver around. The bar on the main floor was great. It cost only about 2 euros for a beer and 3 euros for a sangria. They also offered free breakfast every day consisting of bread, cereal, and muffins, along side some coffee and juice. The vibe was great though. Everyone was really friendly from the staff to the others staying, which made it a lot of fun to venture off to the pub crawls together. The front desk was also super convenient. You can get a sim card there, tickets to Parc Guelle and Sagrada Familia (a much need as you can't get in without advance tickets), as well as rentable beach towels. Overall, place is good for young travellers and worth staying.

    Yeah Hostel in Barcelona made my first solo trip phenomenal. I stayed for six nights in a six-bed…read morefemale dorm. It was so easy to make friends and socialize, especially with the walking tours and hostel dinners. I've had bad experiences with party hostels but still wanted to be social, so this was a good balance of a social hostel that was not too party-centric. The room was very clean with huge drawers under the bed and a small cupboard by the head of each bed. My regular lock didn't fit in the drawer lock, so you need a skinny padlock. It was sometimes difficult to share one en-suite sink, shower, and toilet with five other girls, but I'm glad they were each separate from each other. The wifi was very weak from my bed, so I had to walk towards the inside of the room or go to the common area for internet. The common area was great for working and virtual meetings. There is a small rooftop with a bar and tiny pool. They have nice computers in the lobby you can use. The hostel is in a great location. It is a 15-minute walk to La Sagrada Familia and to Casa Batllo (opposite direction). They have daily walking tours that are very informative and rely on tips. Breakfast is buffet-style and a little pricey at 7€. The dinners are delicious and only 12€. They are three-course meals with two free drinks (sangria or beer). The night tours are 15€ and take you to two bars then a club. They include club entry and three free shots.

    My first hostel stay and it definitely didn't disappoint. I'd even day it was better than some…read morehotels I've been to. Staff was friendly and everything from the common areas to the room itself was clean. The location was perfect - walking distance to anything you could want from cafes and public transportation to tourists sites like La Sagrada and other Gaudi architecture. We stayed in a 4-bunk room with it's own bathroom. The bunks had little cubbies to place small things like your phone or glasses at night. And there was storage beneath for luggage. I liked the layout of the kitchen - tables around the perimeter and at the center was where communal dinners were made/served. We tried the paella but weren't blown away. The sangria on the other hand - who knew the boxed stuff tasted so good! There's even a shared refrigerator where you can store food or chill wine (be sure to label your items). We even partook in a night out with others staying at the hostel. It was nice to meet people, and enjoy a night out at 3 local bars that we might not have visited otherwise. The location alone is worth it, not to mention the price and cleanliness.

    I will forever tell this story when I meet hostel guests in Barcelona not to go to this hostel…read more I am writing this with deep disappointment and frustration after what happened during my most recent stay at Onefam Les Corts Hostel in Barcelona. I had stayed here before and genuinely enjoyed the friendly community, so I booked again in the summer of 2025 expecting a similar experience. Instead, it turned into one of the worst travel experiences of my life. On the night of July 20, I returned to my shared room and immediately noticed something was wrong -- my bed had been moved. I checked my belongings and realized that several important items were missing, including my passport, travel documents, and credit cards. I had intentionally left these in the hostel thinking they would be safer there than carrying them around the city. Sadly, I was wrong. I soon learned that I wasn't the only victim. Several other guests were robbed the same night. One guest told me they had lost over $4,000 USD in cash and valuables. This was not an isolated incident -- it was clear that multiple rooms had been targeted, which makes the hostel's lack of security even more unacceptable. The hostel's security measures are shockingly inadequate for a city known for its rising petty crime. There is no on-site security guard. Entry is controlled only by a keypad at the front door and key cards for the rooms -- both of which clearly failed that night. The absence of basic, reliable security systems (such as comprehensive CCTV coverage and proper lock mechanisms) is alarming. What made matters worse was the complete lack of preparedness from the staff. When I reported the robbery to the front desk, the woman working there was polite but clearly untrained for such a serious situation. She didn't call the police -- I had to call them myself. When the police arrived, she didn't know how to retrieve or review the security camera footage. This is a clear sign that the hostel has not provided its staff with the necessary training or protocols for emergencies. After the incident, the manager sent me an email apologizing. I replied requesting the security footage for my case, but to this day I have received no response. This lack of follow-up and cooperation further demonstrates negligence and a lack of accountability. Based on my experience, I believe this hostel does not prioritize the safety of its guests. They appear more focused on maintaining a "laid-back" atmosphere than implementing the most basic security measures or training staff to handle emergencies. This negligence created an environment where thieves could operate freely and leave multiple guests devastated. It is unfortunate that I have to write this review, but I feel a strong responsibility to warn others. I now tell every traveler I meet -- both online and in person -- to avoid Onefam Les Corts Hostel. Barcelona is already a city where you must be cautious about theft, and staying here will only make you more vulnerable. Choose accommodation that values your safety, because this place absolutely does not.

    I was only briefly in Barcelona on business when I stayed here but the desk staff was friendly, the…read morerooms were spacious and air conditioned (helpful in a Spanish summer) and the bathrooms weren't gross. Might have stayed a couple more days (if I actually liked BCN). :-)

Also the fact that they took credit cards was a nice relief for a hostel in europe. The Common area is very welcoming and is a great place to meet people. There was a large kitchen for cooking, tons of computers, and people my own age. They offered walking tours and provided one of the best maps I saw for barcelona. At this price I feel like 360 Hostel is probably one of the best places to stay in Barcelona.

    I've been to several hostels in Barcelona over the past three years, but I have to admit that…read moreeither 360 Hostel or Black Swan Hostel are my favorites. Apart from the hostel which is "good", the staff is really friendly and the rooms are always nice and clean. Showers have some free space between the door and the actual shower to keep your clothes dry while you don't have to go outside naked to get your stuff. A lot of hostels seem to not have thinked about this. Rooms have power outlets to charge your camera, phone or computer and some beds have reading lights as well. Every bed has its own locker and the biggest dorms are equipped with 8 beds, which is fine if you want to sleep in daytime or at night - some other hostels in Barcelona offer 12, 14 or 18-bedded dorms which is nuts if you want to get some rest or when you're staying longer than 2-3 days. The kitchen is big and almost fully equipped, with the only disadvantage for me being the lack of an oven to cook pizza or other pre-prepared meals. Downstairs is a nice chilling area with a bar (which is unfortunately closed) and a big TV room. There are plenty of free computers (11) and wi-fi available. Every day there's a free walking tour taking about 2,5 hours covering most of Barri Gothic and in the evening there's a daily activity. There are two paella nights a week on which the hostel staff cooks both chicken and vegetarian paella which is delicious. They also have guest list access to some of the clubs in Barcelona, although probably not the best clubs out there. Some examples: Carpe Diem Lounge Club, Shoko and La Boîte. The location is good, but not perfect. You'll have to walk for about 10-15 minutes to get to the Ramblas and 20-25 minutes to Plaça Reial. The Sagrada Familia is also about 20 minutes walking. If you don't feel like walking you can always take the subway: the hostel is close to L1 station 'Arc De Triomf' and L4/L1 station 'Urquinaona' (less than 5 minutes walking). I've stayed here for more than a month and I didn't have a single bad experience - so far so good. If you're looking for a good hostel in Barcelona- look no further. This is the one.
