hostel El Barcelonès

I stayed at this hostel during my solo trip to Barcelona, and I chose an 8-bed dorm room. From the moment I arrived, I felt very welcomed thanks to the incredibly kind and helpful staff at the front desk. They were always smiling and ready to help with anything I needed. Their hospitality truly made a big difference in my stay and made me feel comfortable even though I was traveling alone. The location of this hostel is another huge advantage. It is situated in a very convenient area, making it easy to access many of Barcelona’s major attractions. I was able to visit famous sightseeing spots such as the Sagrada Familia and other city-center attractions without any difficulty. Public transportation is nearby, and many places can be reached quickly, which made sightseeing very efficient and stress-free. The hostel itself was very clean and well-maintained. The dorm room, bathrooms, and common areas were cleaned regularly, and I always felt comfortable using the shared facilities. Overall, this hostel exceeded my expectations in every way. With its friendly and supportive staff, excellent location close to major tourist spots, and high level of cleanliness, it is an ideal place for solo travelers. If I visit Barcelona again, this is definitely a hostel I would love to stay at once more, and I would highly recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Barcelona. ありがとうございました！またバルセロナに来れるのを楽しみにしています🫶

The room is decent overall, although it can be noisy due to outside sounds. The location is excellent, right on a bustling street, but finding the entrance can be a bit tricky. One notable issue was that for the first two nights, we had no blanket, assuming that the extra carpet was intended to replace it. However, on our third night, a blanket was suddenly provided, leading us to believe it had simply been overlooked.

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!

Very decent hostel in a quiet neighborhood. Exceptionally clean, but rooms are too packed with beds therefore not much space in rooms.

The stay was very pleasant at Soul Backpackers. The dormitories were clean and maintained. The common areas were colorful, well-kept, easy to socialise and meet new people. The staff is also courteous and friendly. They are a but pricey coz of proximity to main areas but overall and wonderful stay for few nights!

Saya suka linennya bersih tetapi tempat tidurnya mudah terlepas, juga ada sedikit debu di kamar. Sangat buruk bahwa wastafel berada di ruangan yang sama dengan tempat tidur, sehingga orang membangunkan Anda. Tempat tidur saya tidak memiliki papan kayu untuk menutupi cahaya di pintu masuk, sehingga sangat mengganggu di pagi hari (lihat foto).

Ruang bersama di lantai dua sangat nyaman, dengan AC dan stopkontak yang kuat. Keran kamar mandi tidak mau menyala kembali setelah beberapa saat, yang agak merepotkan saat mencuci piring. Kamar mandi di dalam kamar sangat bau sehingga saya harus menutup pintu dan tidur. Hostel ini memiliki lift, dan biaya penyimpanan bagasi adalah €3 per tas. Lokasinya dekat dengan Casa Batlló dan dapat dicapai dengan berjalan kaki dari Plaça Catalunya, yang cukup menyenangkan. Seperti yang disarankan ulasan lain, Anda harus mempertimbangkan kurangnya AC. Namun, jika saya kembali ke Barcelona, ​​saya pasti akan menginap di hostel ini.
