    The beds are too small if you are taller than 1,90 meters. Otherwise I would recommend this hostel they have many activities going on and you will meet people in no time.

    I've been traveling solo for almost a year and I gotta say, this is the best hostel hands down! Planned activities every single day, several times a day. Some days include free sangria and meals. Super friendly staff. They do an excellent job at making you feel right at home. Right by the bus stop and train station. Incredibly clean facilities. I occupied a 4 person dorm and the blackout curtains are the perfect touch for privacy in the bunks. Overall, fun place to stay. You will definitely leave with plenty of new friends.

    This being my first hostel experience, I didn’t really know what to expect. I immediately felt a cozy family-like vibe on day one with the staff and this hostel soon became my home away from home while exploring Barcelona for the first time. Excellent staff who are personable, funny and helpful. Hot water for showers and AC for rooms, hell yeah! I booked a 4-person dorm and honestly the only thing I didn’t like about it was how small it was. It made it difficult for more than one person to do anything outside their bed at once. But maybe that’s just to be expected with hostels? Haha. This being a party hostel, i enjoyed the emphasis on going out to activities, bars and clubs every day and got to meet a ton of different peeps who were all very friendly. They rotate through the same clubs every week and honestly I’m not much of a clubbing person but these clubs felt pretty lame. Very touristy and blasting a bunch of mainstream mumbo jumbo. I went out one night to a local club and found a much better vibe. The neighborhood this hostel is situatied in is very chill. Lots of cute spots nearby to grab a coffee or breakfast/lunch. I never felt unsafe walking the streets nearby late at night. Overall this hostel is a gem if just for the awesome staff. Oh did I also mention free dinner?

    We stayed here for two nights and we really enjoyed our stay. Hostel one sants is conveniently located 5 mins by foot to the metro and 10 mins to Sants train station. The hostel itself is small, yet very cosy with a family vibe. There is a rooftop terrace, as well as a chill out room in the basement with a billiards table (which we unfortunately didn’t manage to make use of because of the lack of time). Staff members are extremely friendly and social which creates an awesome atmosphere at the hostel. Everyday, various activities are organised, such as city tours, beach trips, family dinners and etc, followed by pre-drinks at the hostel, then drinks at a pre-designated bar, followed by a club night. You will receive free access to the pre-designated club of the night as a guest of hostel one. Overall, this hostel is the place to be if you came to Barcelona not only to party, but also to make friends and discover the city in a fun way!

    Booked for one night. Needed a place to crash before my onward journey to Madrid. Nice comfy bunks, linen. Shared bathrooms on each floor along with shared toilets. Cleaning happens every day, I think they also have laundry service (I didn't avail it). They got towels on rent, free wifi, plug points by the bed. The place has a super friendly chill vibe about the place - from guests to the reception guy (Santiago if I remember it correctly). Will recommend it to backpackers looking for a place for a day or two.

    All of the positive reviews you are reading about this place are absolutely true. Hostel One Barcelona was one of the most enjoyable stays I have ever experienced. I even extended my stay longer. Great place to meet fellow travelers, awesome family meals, and they always have great plans set for all times of the day. I am seriously contemplating flying back to Barcelona just to stay there again! Shoutout Nico for being the absolute man! 5 stars is not enough for this place.

    The staff were really nice. The atmosphere has the feeling that everyone already lives there. The bed was super affordable and comfy. I also got a free dinner when I arrived.

    OneFam Sants, the first OneFam hostel I stayed in (for a week) was an active and friendly hostel. The staff were energetic and inclusive and got right into the various events planned for the guests of the combined hostels. Despite a lot of partying and social interactions I was surprised to find that I was largely undisturbed whilst trying to sleep. I've done the social thing in a lot of hostels and that week I was more focused on resting and taking it easy and I still felt perfectly comfortable hanging about in the hostel or making use of the kitchen facilities. I got on well with a few of the staff and looked forward to coming back to see them after my travels around Spain. Sants has slightly less room to move around and the rooms aren't as spacious as the ones in Les Corts in my experience but the hostel itself is slightly more central and you only have to walk for five seconds to get on that main road that runs through Barcaelona to the coast, filled with places to eat and drink or do some random shopping. There is also a Lidl located conveniently about 20 seconds up the road. I had a nice time at this hostel and felt welcomed. The toilet and shower facilities here were a little more lacking than the other OneFam hostel I stayed in, with less space and a little more mess consistently. Sants has a bit more of a party hostel vibe to it than Les Corts at least to my experience but all five OneFam hostels tend to meet up together for nights out and events.

    The staff is AMAZING! Marco, Brenda, Santiago, Vinicius, Thais and Eli, what an amazing team. They made my stay super fun and I’ve felt like I was at home since the first minute. Thank you so much, and I hope to find the same team again when I’ll come back to Barcelona!

    This was Summer 2023 so they might have resolved the issue by now but be careful to check your room if you book this hostel, because upon arriving we found (dead) bedbugs in ours (6 mixed dorm). The employee handled it extremely well and professionally. He believed us immediately when we showed him, was very apologetic, gave us a full refund without hesitation when we said that we didn't feel comfortable staying and offered to help us find a new place. So my experience with the service was very positive but I still feel obligated to leave a warning. The activities seem great. There’s only one bathroom on the floor, but I don’t know if that would’ve been a problem had we stayed.

    Open and friendly hostel! Has good vibes and offers various options through the hostel. I give 3 stars because even though most OneFam Hostels are pretty cramped, this one felt particularly stuffed and I didn't love the bathroom/shower set up. There also isn't really anywhere to go for calm or privacy like if you want to make a call or do any online work, as it's a VERY social space. Great if you want to meet people, but best for only a couple nights.

    Very nice staff! One person I’d like to give a shout-out is Gio Princi from Italy. She went above and beyond to ensure the guest are happy. Occasionally , the staff would make free breakfast. Comfortable bed and cool interior design. They have lockers in the room and provide free additional storage downstairs. They have an outdoor area where you can eat, drink and chill. There are some supermarkets, shops, restaurants, streetart, sightseeing... nearby. They support you with travel info and activities.

    Fran who is from Argentina and Marco from Italy have been so nice, friendly and kind!! I would highly recommend this place to meet people, stay in and enjoy dinner and night outs. One of the best hostels I have ever stayed

    Great hostel, friendly staff! Marta was super friendly and helpful up front, and Diana was an amazing tour guide. She took us out to a bar crawl, and was the life of the party. She definitely made the trip! Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Elaena H. 11 months ago on Google
    Couldn't recommend Hostel One Sants more! The staff was incredible, they're so friendly and fun. The hostel itself has so many great accommodations, we loved the roof deck. And the neighborhood is excellent. Very safe, so many nearby food options, as well as access to a lot of public transportation.

  • 4/5 Fayez 11 months ago on Google
    It's not the cheapest hostel and that definitely shows. I enjoyed my stay here! The beds aren't the best but they're comfy enough with a curtain for privacy and stopping the light. The facility is clean and they encourage social interactions by having things like free sangria on their roof terrace as well as bar crawls. The staff aren't the nicest but of course they're not your friends, they're just doing their job. Metro lines 1 & 5 are a 5 minute walk, so it's decently connected to transport.

  • 5/5 Mihai F. 10 months ago on Google
    Very good place to stay while visiting Barcelona. Very clean & with everything you need! Also, staff is highly professional and you’ll def. enjoy your stay here. Andreia from the reception will always be there to light up your day with a smile & help you out with any info you’ll need!

  • 4/5 Finn W. 10 months ago on Google
    Hostel One Sants is a great hostel for solo travelers. Not the cheapest hostel but offers plenty of activities, free dinners and a great social environment. Staff were amazing and always helpful. Carol, Sez, Fran, Leo & Evi were terrific and super lovely. Location is a bit out of the city centre but is close to the metro and in a relatively quiet and safe area.

  • 5/5 Joseph L. 11 months ago on Google
    Great hostel to stay for a few nights. Been to many hostels around the world and this one is top in terms of the staff being super enthusiastic and friendly as well as all the activities and club crawls they have planned out. Have that impression from the other hostel one outlets as well. Really excellent. 10/10. This location is good for watching the game but less so for exploring the city since it’s 30mins one way. Two cons though are the rooms are very tight so makes it hard to move around inside. There is also only three showers and four bathrooms which is way too little for 50+ or so ppl (expect to queue no matter what)

  • 5/5 James A. 6 months ago on Google
    Wonderful experience. The staff went above and beyond to look after me, the facilities clean, and guests quiet and respectful! I had a full nights sleep and can’t recommend this place highly enough. Thank you!

  • 5/5 boxuan g. 8 months ago on Google
    24hrs reception, always glad to help. Close to 2 different subway stations, clean room and comfortable bedding equipment. Best thing is that hostel staffs will organize different activities every day and different things from morning to midnight.

  • 5/5 Johannes K. 8 months ago on Google
    I am doing a Bike vacation from Germany to Marocco, during that travel time of one month, it was the best Hostel I’ve been! The staff is really nice and the guests also. Perfect place to expand your network:)

  • 5/5 Kenneth M. 8 months ago on Google
    Had such a blast here, amazing friendly staff and nice facilities. Plenty of activities planned so there's never a dull moment. The rooms are small, but it's a hostel, what do you expect. However, they were very clean and there's giant ACs to keep you cool. Would definitely come back here again!

  • 5/5 Keir H. 5 months ago on Google
    I loved my stay at Onefam Sants! Everything was clean, beds were comfy, good lockers, nice terrace, family style meals were a great way to meet people as a solo traveler. Shoutout to Brenda, Santi, Lilli, and Lucy for making it such a good time.

  • 5/5 Carly E. 5 months ago on Google
    I had a great stay here. They always have so much going on and Santi was the best!! He made me feel at home and so welcome in Barcelona 💗

  • 5/5 A S K. 1 year ago on Google
    By far the best hostel I've ever stayed at. All of the staff members, the guests, the activities and the vibes were amazing. 100% recommend to anyone staying in Barcelona. Will definitely be back!

  • 5/5 Efrain H. 2 years ago on Google
    I loved my stayed here! All staff was nice and friendly. The areas were clean and bright even better that the photos in the booking. The offered coffee/tea in the morning and dinner. Have many activities to share with the guests and have a good time.

  • 5/5 Eran S. 2 years ago on Google
    Great hostel. Super clean and so welcoming! The hostesses were so kind and fun. Thank you Mari and Taeler for making our stay amazing:)

  • 5/5 Ru. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Staff: Superplus! The hostel has new furniture. A/C in room 204 is not that good, but the whole hostel is definitely the place to be to travel low budget and meet nice people.

  • 5/5 Viktoriia 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly staff, nice hostel, kitchen, beds. Clean toilets. Excellent stay, going to visit more.

  • 5/5 Caroline C. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing staff, really made to feel welcome. I like it they remember your name and make a big effort to keep common areas as clean as possible. Sants is a cool laid back local vibe - which I liked. Highly recommended. And nice rooftop too!

    Best hostel with fair prices! The staff is amazing and very helpful.Loved my stay here! Hope to see ya again!

  • 4/5 Travis W. 2 years ago on Google
    Rather clean and the staff is real friendly . Really nice bed space. Like a little cubby. Lots better then normal bunk beds. Nice balcony to smoke from. Only complaint. I was invited out to two bars with staff and guests. Got into the first bar no problem. Second one had a dress code. I was not informed of this at this point in time. My phone was dead and I’m not familiar with public transit. Had about an hour walk rather drunk at night. Luckily I’m a bigger dude and can take care of myself. Could have been a different situation if I didn’t know my way. All this being said. The dress code Info was sign posted in the hostel. Just didn’t see it. I would book here again. Good for the price.

    My friend and I visited this hostel during low season late October. We had booked two beds in the four-bed room. When arriving in the evening, we found out that they had placed us in separate rooms. The staff member checked on our booking in the morning, found out we could not be placed in the same room, and decided to not inform us about this matter. According to her, it was not her job to inform us about such matters, and she also said it was our fault because we did not proactively contact the hostel to check on our reservation. We were shocked to hear this, and consider that absolutely abnormal. With experience of two months travelling and sleeping in hostels, we never had to contact a hostel to check whether our reservation was alright! Being just two young girls traveling together, we actually felt uncomfortable being placed alone in rooms with other men. She really could not understand why we felt uncomfortable and why we wished to know this earlier. Instead of understanding us, she said it was our own fault, talking in a rather unfriendly way to us. Informing guests about such matters is maybe not obligatory, but doing it means caring about guests and it shows hospitality. The staff member discussed this matter with her manager, they decided to make no compromises for us. In the end we had to upgrade to a two-bed room that was free anyway, but we had to pay the price ourselves. About the hostel: the interior is basic and cold, the bed was very short (I am 1.74 and my feet stuck out) and had a hole, and the walls were thin so we could overhear our neighbors. The common room was a bit cold, and other travelers did not interact with each other so it was hard to meet new people. Weirdly enough we only saw men in the hostel. The hostel is nearby the train station (15 min walk), and about 30 min from city center by public transport. There is actually nothing to do in this neighborhood, just some restaurants. Sightseeing or partying is mostly in city center. We've particularly chosen this hostel because of the coziness and hospitality most small hostels tend to have. However, just the lack of this hospitality was exactly the problem in our opinion. We can understand boundaries of a small hostel, but we cannot understand the way they dealt with the situation, handling in a way that is no more than the bare minimum. This hostel may be a nice fit if you want to stay in a place close to the train station and don’t care about hospitality or comfy beds. Otherwise, if you do care about above matters, I would advise another hostel as there are plenty of hostels in Barcelona with better hospitality, nicer surroundings and cozier common rooms where you can easily meet others.

    Best Hostel ever, more of family reunion. Nice reception, common language (English) spoken, I always feel at home here.

  • 5/5 Kruchy G. 2 years ago on Google
    Highly recommended hostel, super atmospher and price not too high in this time when everythings rice up day by day

  • 5/5 Helia A. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cool and kind staff. The beds are perfect and really private. Great terrace with nice drinking games and the best place to party. The only disappointing thing was that there is only 1 toilet and 1 shower for each floor and you might wait around 10 minutes just to go to toilet!

  • 4/5 Sol J. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome staff, super friendly, close to the train station, they plan really fun adventures through the day and night. Good for a party. Rooms are a bit tight and bunks can get pretty hot, not a lot of bathroom facilities but regardless good hostel.

  • 5/5 Scott S. 1 year ago on Google
    This was my first hostel so I don't have a ton of context but this was an excellent first experience. Friendly staff, lots of activities (day and night) to meet new people. I never felt unsafe inside or in the area around the hostel. About 45 minutes to La Sagrada Familia and Gothic district and 45-60 minutes from the airport. Free entry into a couple bars and clubs, free food and drinks various nights throughout the week. It was a good balance between party and quiet in my opinion, if I didn't go out I didn't feel bothered by the people who did when they got back late.

  • 5/5 Mel A. 1 year ago on Google
    The best Hostel I have ever been to! The rooms are very clean. The staff is super friendly amd there are many different group activities everyday(Visit at the beach, the bunkers, city tour etc.). Every night they go to another club where the entry to is free for Hostel One visitors. You also meet up with the other three Hostels, so you can get to know lots of new people and surley find friends. I'd go there every time again and really love Barcelona!

  • 5/5 James D. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice and friendly, rooms are pretty good and secluded and there’s lots of free events organized with other hostels so a very homey vibe. Nette and the other staff are real welcoming as well.

  • 4/5 estefano d. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice hostel. Well organized. Clean toilets and shower. It could be a 5 but the rules are not clear enough to avoid people eat a big kebab in the room at 3 am. In such a small room the air was unbreathable. Another bad thing is that the bed clothes are not high quality, so don't expect to feel them nice, for a mid range price this should be better. Please explain to the guest that they shouldn't eat in the room.

  • 5/5 Dani D. 1 year ago on Google
    The staff were so friendly and wonderful with food recommendations, organizing daily activities/walking tours, free dinners, night outings. The hostel was clean and the beds were comfy! I made some great friends and I would absolutely stay again!

  • 4/5 Aaron D. 1 year ago on Google
    It was my first time in a party hostel, and I enjoyed it more than I thought! Rooms and bathrooms were clean, and the hostel organized activities and parties every night. If you're looking to let loose a couple of days as a solo traveler, I'd recommend this.

  • 5/5 Oscar N. 1 year ago on Google
    Super welcoming and friendly hostel— free dinners and activities really made the experience! This hostel seemed to be a little less social than the other Hostel Ones in Barcelona, maybe due to location. Shoutout to all of the staff, especially Sari, Santi, and Sofia!

  • 5/5 Xander M. 1 year ago on Google
    Genuinely the nicest hostel i stayed at in all my travels. Service is unmatched. Cris is extremely welcoming and all volunteers and staff are excellent, accomodating and fun people. There are stacks of free activities all day, free dinners and a cute terrace on the roof. The vibes were immaculate. Thanks so much!

    Stayed here for three nights in November. Nice social vibe and super helpful staff. Especially, Lili and Lindsey who saved my life when I messed up some travel stuff. Much love to them. Really feels like quite a homey, fun, youthful place.

  • 5/5 Klaus S. 2 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    Best Hostel I have ever been too. Great staff, that makes you feel like beeing at home. There are always new people you can meet. If you have the time just stay for a few days and take part in the activitys. You will have the time of your life. Edit: Special shout out to Ximena. Havent met such an energetic person before. Try to get to Barcelona while she works there.
