History

Duo is the second hostel in the Somnio Hostels family. The name Duo means two in Latin but also refers to the pair of sisters who founded Somnio Hostels with a dream of eliminating the hassle of finding clean, safe, quality lodging leaving young travelers with more time and to spend enjoying everything the great travel destinations of the world have to offer.



Why waste another minute sorting through hundreds of hostel reviews or hauling bags hostel to hostel when there are breathtaking views to stumble upon and local watering holes to enjoy? The concept of well-branded, standard quality hostels is now a reality.

Somnio Hostels now owns two properties in Barcelona – its flagship hostel and the brand new Duo Hostel.


Duo by Somnio Hostels is in the heart of Barcelona's famous L'Eixample District, nestled between two of the city's famous and most important streets: Rambla Catalunya and Passeig de Gràcia. Duo is just down the block from Antoni Gaudí's La Pedrera and a fifteen minute walk from the Sagrada Familia Basilica. The closest metro stops are Passeig de Gràcia and Diagonal and we are a very quick metro ride or fifteen minute walk from Plaça Catalunya and Las Ramblas.
