Onefam Paralelo

That was good hostel and very friendly.

Best hostel i ever been at. Nice rooms with not too many people, a lot of social activities and interactions and good vibes

Fun hostel. Solid location. It’s around a 5 minute walk from the nearest Metro and bus stations, but also totally possible to walk to some of the city’s attractions from there (we walked all the way to the Ramblas from the hostel). Atmosphere is very, very social. They host activities every day, from walking tours of various attractions to drinking games every night. The “bar crawl” they take you on in comparison to other hostel ones was okay. After ice breaker drinking games they take you to one bar that many other hostels go to and then you get easy access to popular clubs in town which I appreciate. Staff was very friendly and so were the guests. Very clean and I felt very safe. We only went out once and on other nights once people leave for the bars they enforce quiet hours so I didn’t have trouble going to bed. Hostel guests skew young, many I met in their 20s. I never had to wait for a shower or the bathroom which is a good sign. You do have to go outside of the room though (I stayed in a 6 person mixed dorm). The shower is a little cramped and on my last day there was no hot water which was inconvenient. All in all I enjoyed my stay here. Also FYI I heard many horror stories about St. Christopher’s from people that stayed there, so save yourself some time and consider this instead.

I had an excellent stay at Onefam Paralelo! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed. Jo was very nice, informative and made sure I had everything I needed. The hostel itself is clean, cozy, and has a great vibe. I appreciated the little touches such as the free dinners and free tours. They really went the extra mile.

One of the best hostels I have stayed at. Very friendly atmosphere, very clean, a lot of activities to do and great location. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful and really try to make your experience the best it possibly can. Definitely recommend this place if you like to meet people and have a good time.

I have a lot to say about Hostel One Paralelo, but I'll try to keep it brief: This place is, by definition, outstanding. Without a doubt the best destination in Barcelona for young, solo travellers. I'll start off with the staff since this is pretty much what made the experience incredible. The Hostel is staffed by young people who run trip, evening activities, and manage the day to day running of the property. Every single staff member went above and beyond to make sure each guest had a fantastic stay. I can't give enough praise to the staff running Paralelo, since they truly are the backbone of the Hostel. Trips are run every day to the best sights in Barcelona so no need to worry if you don't know how to get around. Evening activities are dinner (always home cooked and always tasty), a good chance to socialise before heading out to bars and clubs if you want. There's something to do every day to fill your trip. The Hostel itself is spotless, and I mean spotless. I think I saw cleaners every day and guests are super respectful and clean. I stayed in a 6 room dorm and aside from snoring (expected) got a good night's sleep. Beds are really spacious and comfy with privacy curtains. Plenty of drawers/storage and a great view from room balcony. Plenty of showers/bathrooms in shared areas. Fridge storage in kitchen, coffee, tea and biscuits. Full cooking facilities. Terrace out back for socialising. If you're debating which Hostel to choose in Barcelona, choose this one. Seriously. You won't regret it. The hundreds of glowing reviews don't lie. Thank you Hostel One Paralelo- ill be back! Ps Bas you can get your air fryer now.
