Black Swan Hostel Barcelona

Very central, great location.

Price - for a shared room, a bit high.

I had an amazing stay at Black Swan Hostel and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city. The hostel is exceptionally clean, with well-maintained rooms and common areas that made our stay very comfortable. The location is perfect, making it easy to explore the main attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. What truly made our experience special was the incredible staff. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help with recommendations or any questions we had. A special thank you to the two staff members who organized and joined us for a night out with a small group of fellow travelers. They created such a fun and friendly atmosphere, making it easy for everyone to connect and enjoy the evening. We had an unforgettable time, shared great conversations, visited some fantastic spots, and made wonderful memories together. Their enthusiasm and kindness really went above and beyond what you would normally expect from hostel staff. If you’re looking for a clean, well-located hostel with an outstanding team that genuinely cares about its guests, Black Swan Hostel is the perfect choice. I would definitely stay here again!

Really kind staff and sweet people staying at the hostel

The rooms’ infrastructure is not the best, as there’s not a lot of technological gadgets like newer outlets or more of a subtle lighting, but it’s okay

Location

Air conditioning at full flast during the night when the outdoor temperature was 17 degrees Celsius Kitchen has only very old pots and pans Room floors are not cleaned There are only male 4 toilets for everyone. The toilets cubicles are tiny, the door is very close to the seat, one door does not close. It was a narrow 6 bed room with a balcony but the people staying at the end of the room close to the balcony had their suitcases open on the floor all the time blocking the access to the balcony.
