Choosing the Best Youth Hostel in Barcelona

By: Sanchez Lanfor

One of the great traditions of European travel is the youth hostel. These are places to stay that offer special prices to young people of student age (usually between 18 and 30). They can be found all throughout Europe and usually offer a great deal for accommodations, with prices ranging from $15 to $40, depending on where you go and what kind of room you want.

Most of the youth hostels provide bedding accommodation in dormitory rooms that sleep two, four, six, twelve, fourteen or sixteen people. There are hostels that offer private rooms or separate dormitories for girls and boys but you get the best priced deals if you go for mixed dormitories that accommodate fourteen to 16 people. It is safer to book for a group of friends in one go but you can take your own chances.

With changing times things have changed on the front of youth hostels as well. Many of them now offer safes and lockers to keep your belongings safely while you go out to savor the vacation. You may or may not have to pay for these lockers depending on the hostel. Some of them have also started providing the hot water bath and airconditioning comforts that add on to the whole delight of the youth hostel accommodation. Following is the list of Some Barcelona youth hostels that offer the best.

1. Ideal Youth Hostel is truly ideal because of its prized location. It stands near the Barcelona city center, close to the Ramblas boulevard, famous for its activities and is right next to the Opera House. Breakfast is included in the price. It has a 24 hour reception desk and a common room. You are free to come home any time since there are no restrictions on timings. You will get free Internet access for your laptop. This is also one the least expensive youth hostels in Barcelona.

2. Alberg Juvenil Palua hostel also offers free lockers and a large common room with a TV. It is located near the Barcelona city center in a section known as the Barri Gotic and near Ramblas. It offers kitchen facilities and breakfast is included in the price. There is provision for bike parking for your bike rental.

3. INOUT Hostel is one of the lower priced hostels in the city though it offers a great deal. It is located in Collserola Park, further from Barcelona, and requires a 25-minute ride to Ramblas. However, it is wanting in many respects besides its remote location.

Collserola Park features 25 hectares of forests, gardens, and sports fields. You can order a picnic basket and homemade tomato bread in the hostel. If you want to go to the city or the country you can take any one of the various organized trips. Or you can take the hostel messenger boat to Barcelona's famous beaches.

There plenty of options available for young travelers looking to see a little of Barcelona. By choosing a youth hostel wisely, you can enjoy a stay in Barcelona and have plenty of money to spend on seeing Barcelona, rather than spending it all on a room you never see.
