Insider Tip

Yeah Hostel Barcelona

If you're looking for a social vibe, but not an over the top party hostel, then this is a great option. It's perfect for people traveling alone who want to meet others as there are a number a fun activities hosted by the hostel. The rooms have more space than the average dorm rooms in Barcelona. There's even a small pool on the rooftop terrace which is the perfect way to cool off after a hot day exploring the city. This hostel is reliably clean and comfortable, so it makes a perfect budget-friendly option for many types of travelers.

The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has surprisingly large rooms with plenty of storage space, particularly when compared to other dorms around Barcelona. The beds have comfortable mattresses and everything feels very clean. Air conditioning can be found throughout the hostel to keep the rooms cool during the warm summer months. The hostel staff makes sure everyone respects quiet time, so even though this is a social hostel, you likely won't hear people partying late into the night. Each bed has a curtain and the rooms themselves are quite dark at night so it's easy to have a solid night's sleep here. The top bunk can feel a bit wobbly so if possible request a bottom bunk for the best night's sleep.

The dorm rooms all have either four or six bunks, and the small number of people helps to keep things personal and quiet. You also have the option to choose between a co-ed for female only room. Every room has its own ensuite bathroom and some have doors that open to a balcony. The housekeeper has the keys to these doors.

Private Rooms

The hostel has double private rooms for couples or anyone else who wants a little more space to themselves. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms have plenty of storage space as well as many great furnishings. They have a modern and clean style, and everything feels updated and trendy.
