BOOKINGS OF 10 PEOPLE OR MORE are considered 'group bookings' and must be made through the group reservation department. We do not accept bookings of over 9 people.

BOOKING CONDITIONS:
*Cancellations or changes to reservations must be advised by email before mid day of the day preceding the arrival date in order to avoid penalty charges (the first night of the reservation will be charged to the credit card used to make the reservation). The cancellation or change will be confirmed via return email. Requests for changes to reservations will depend on availability.
*Please check your reservation details - dates/nº of people etc.
*We do not accept American Express. We accept Visa and MasterCard only.
*The credit card used to make the reservation must be valid for the total stay - we reserve the right to cancel reservations where the expiry date is prior to the arrival date.
*No Stag or Hens nights. No Football hooligans. We reserve the right to cancel such reservations without refund.
*We make every effort to accommodate you in the dormitory size of your choice. However, because of the nature of our business, we may have to place you in a different sized dormitory. As a result the balance to be paid upon arrival can be slightly different to what is stated on your confirmation. In such cases an email will be sent advising such changes.

Definitely a great place to stay while in Barcelona. Here's why: - Close to metro stop. Great directions are given by the Hostel. - Walking distance to Placa Espanya, the Art museum, La Boqueria - Friendly and multilingual staff - Tasty breakfast included (toast, nutella, jam, cereal, cookies) - Tea and coffee offered all day - Very secure lockers inside the room - There's a consign in case you need to leave your bags for a bit after checking out - LOTS of tourist and travel information about Barcelona. They've put together very informative binders about what to do, see, eat in Barcelona. - Cool vibe in the lounge. In the evenings, its a great place to meet people - Internet stations and wifi available. VERY useful. As a side note, alot of the guests were anglophone and in town to see much of Barcelona's nightlife. Expect roommates to come back into your room at 7am (if thats not you).
