HelloBCN
HelloBCN is your home away from home in Barcelona. It is in the center of the city, close to everything you will want to see or do, because it is only two minutes from the nearest metro and bus stops. From there, you have access to everything you need, including the fantastic Sagrada Familia. And the famous Las Ramblas is only a ten minute walk from the hostel’s front door. What more could you ask for?
Well, beds would be a good start – and HelloBCN has lots of choices. For those who want to experience all things social about a hostel, there are the dorm style rooms with four, six or eight beds in them. For those seeking a bit more privacy, there are private double or twin rooms. The private rooms come with private en suite bathroom facilities, while the dorm rooms make use of shared bathrooms with lots of showers. There is even a room completely set up for disabled guests.
Some of the amenities you will find at HelloBCN are:
- Free sheets and blankets (towels available for hire)
- Free breakfast
- Free internet access and WiFi
- Free gym access
- On site bar
- Luggage storage and security lockers
- Air conditioning
- Laundry facilities and guest kitchen
- No curfew or lockout
- 24 hour check in and 24 hour reception
The bar at HelloBCN is open from 7:00pm until 1:00am, and with satellite TV and some of the cheapest beer in town, it is a great place to hang out and socialize with your new friends. And there is something at HelloBCN you will not find at many other hostels, especially for free – a gym. You might not need to use it if you are walking all over the city all day or dancing all night, but it is a great perk if you want to burn off all that paella you have been eating.
It is not every day you come across a hostel with as many hotel-like amenities as HelloBCN, so when that hostel is also located in the perfect place for sight seeing as well as clubbing and has a great social atmosphere and low prices, it seems like a dream come true.
