Title: Choosing the Best Youth Hostel in Barcelona
Author: 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.
The dormitory rooms in the youth hostels have the capacity to accommodate two, four, six, 12, 14, or 16 people. Some [tag-cat]hostels[/tag-cat] offer private rooms as well, and many offer girls' and boys' dormitories separately. But, if you want the best prices youwill have to accept a mixed dormitory room for 14 or 16 people. You may book in advance with a group of friends, or take achance to get accommodation on the spot.
The majority of [tag-tec]youth hostels[/tag-tec] offer safes or lockers for you to
keep your belongings in (no one wants to haul a backpack to a nightclub). Some offer them for free, and others require apayment for the lockers. Many youth hostels now offer heated water and air-conditioned comfort during the summer. Here are some of Barcelona's best bets for youth hostels.
1. Ideal Youth Hostel. This hostel really is ideal. It is
located in the near the Barcelona city center, close to the
Ramblas boulevard, which is famous for its activities. The
hostel is located next to the Opera House and offers breakfast
in the price. There is a 24 hour reception desk, and there is
common room. There is no curfew and no lockout, so you do not
have to worry about what time you come home. Free Internet
access for your laptop. This is also one the least expensive
youth hostel 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.
4. Collserola Park features 25 hectares of forests, gardens, and sports fields. The hostel also offers the option of ordering apicnic basket and homemade tomato bread. There are various organized trips to the city or to the country. Additionally, the hostel has a messenger boat that can take you to Barcelona's famous beaches.
These youth hostels provide many options for young travelers to see a little of Barcelona. If you choose a [tag-ice]youth hostel[/tag-ice] wisely, you can enjoy a stay in Barcelona and have enough money to spend on seeing Barcelona, rather than spending it all on a room you never see.
