Thus, youth hostels are an inseparable part of traveling in Europe, especially for the young. You can get a room for as low as $15 to $40, varying with the place and the kind of room you opt for. So, wherever you go to Europe you can be rest assured that the youth hostels would be there to offer you great accommodation deals.
The dormitory rooms in the youth hostels have the capacity to accommodate two, four, six, 12, 14, or 16 people. Some hostels offer private rooms as well, and many offer girls' and boys' dormitories separately. But, if you want the best prices you will have to accept a mixed dormitory room for 14 or 16 people. You may book in advance with a group of friends, or take a chance to get accommodation on the spot.
You can keep your belongings in safes or lockers instead of hauling a backpack to a nightclub. They are for free in some youth hostels, while others require a payment for the lockers. Many youth hostels also provide heated water and air-conditioned comfort during the summer. Here are some of Barcelona's best youth hostels:
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: This youth hostel is conveniently located in the Barri Gotic section near Ramblas and the Barcelona city center. It has an extensive bike parking and free lockers facility. There are kitchen facilities and the breakfast is included in price. A large common room with a TV add up to the perks of the hostel.
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.
You can order a picnic basket with homemade tomato bread or a messenger boat ride to exquisite Barcelona beaches. The hostel also organizes trips to the city and the country. You can choose a package according to you desire and convenience.
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.
