Albareda Youth Hostel

The Albareda Youth Hostel is centrally located in the Sants-Montjuic neighborhood, which makes it perfectly placed for you to walk to most of the major sights in Barcelona. It is a particularly good spot to stay if you are in Barcelona for formal language study, as it is only five minutes from the School of Languages. But even Barcelona’s tourist center is only a short walk away. The hostel is a 10 minute walk to Plaza Catalunya, 15 minutes from Plaza Espana and a 20 minute walk from the beach. If you prefer, it is also only a two minute walk to the bus stop which will get you to the beach without having to walk!

If you are hoping for a retreat after a busy day of sight seeing or study in Barcelona, then Albareda Youth Hostel is just the place. The hostel is quiet enough to be relaxing, but also close to discos, theaters, bars, restaurants and cinemas so you can have a little fun in the evenings. Of course, if you are looking for a nearby place to just go for a leisurely walk and take in some scenery, the hostel is a few steps from a lovely park.

Some of the amenities you will find at Albareda Youth Hostel are:

• Free breakfast
• Internet access
• Luggage storage and security lockers
• Laundry facilities and guest kitchen
• No curfew or lockout
• 24 hour check in and 24 hour reception

The rooms at the Albareda Youth Hostel include dorms with four, six or eight beds, a cozy living room area and a guest kitchen where you can save money by cooking meals for yourself. The hostel boasts an “academic” atmosphere, so this is not going to be party central – which is perfect if the non-stop chaos of Barcelona has you tired at the end of the day, or if your dancing feet need a break after spending all night at the disco.

With its location close enough to Barcelona’s main sights – as well as the beach – and yet far enough away from the most hectic parts of the city so as to be actually relaxing at night, Albareda Youth Hostel deserves its spot as one of the best hostels in Barcelona.
