Very nice area, happy with my stay! The hostel is cool and fun, there's always a lot of activities organized and always some good music (also free dinners at the kitchen hehe!). What I liked the most of course was the team working there, and I'm talking especially about Morgan and Josephina- I had such a LOVELY time with these two, very welcoming and fun to be around! But overall, the whole team working there is a delight, they're taking their job at heart and we could feel it! :) See you soon, hopefully!

Some travelers REALLY need to learn how to behave correctly in a shared dorm... A lot of noise almost every night (and I'm talking about people who come at 3-4am and talk loudly in the room as if people weren't sleeping, lol). But this is not on the hostel, this is on st*pid behaviors of some people.

- friendly and helpful staff - you can store the luggage for free if you come early - located ear the metro (4-5 min) and Placa de Catalunya (12-15 min), also walkable to Picasso museum. But if you have a large suitcase, do not recommend walking from the aerobus stop. - if you love Asian food, there are nice places around there - they provide free dinner as well if you wanna join - best for people who want to meet new friends because the hostel has many activities for you to enjoy - I unknowingly left my watch in the kitchen but someone found it and returned it to a staff. I don't know who you are but thank you a lot.

- restrooms are quite small - keycard to access the room doesn't work sometimes

Location, cleanness and staff are supreme. Just few steps from Plaza Catalunya, where Airport Shuttle stops, and many museums, parks and cities highlights. Facilities are strickly clean at all times. Staff was lovely, specially dedicated Dayane, caring Borja and the amazing volunteers like Lucas and Brenda. I'm gonna miss you guys!

Expected internet to be stronger and more stable. Had little trouble having a call at pick hour. Also the iron lockers are quite noise when people use them during the night. Wooden ones may be more silent.

Location is excellent. The bed is small and comfy, I also like it with curtain which adds extra privacy. Just don’t expect much on facilities. The staffs are very energetic, friendly and helpful. I get very good assistance and local recommendations since day 1 and that made my 1 week stay more enjoyable. Zuzanna, Zaquiel, Borja, Naza, and Santi, you are an amazing team!

It’s a small and cozy hostel so there’s not much common area, when its turned to pub crawling time at night, there’s not much seated area for you to work or chill quietly. Wifi is slow and sometimes can’t connect.

The hostel's location is great, just a 10-minute walk to Plaça de Catalunya, from where the Aerobus departs for the airport every 10-15 minutes. The hostel is spread across 3 floors and not only has lockers in the rooms but also a separate luggage storage room. This is convenient if you arrive before check-in time and want to leave your luggage in a secure place. The hostel staff have thoughtfully arranged that if you didn't bring a lock for the locker in your room, you can buy one for 3 euros right at the reception. In the kitchen, there is a vending machine where you can buy beer - it's all part of the Barcelona vibes :)

Very nice and welcoming staff at all hours of the day. I arrived at 2am and they still had a smile, gave me all the attention I needed and helped me feel safe after walking around barna at night with luggage, always a worry.

Didn't like the number of people nearby sat on benches, but this isn't a reflection on the hostel, it is in the inner city and a fantastic location. As for the hostel, they were fab, couldn't complain about anything. The only thing I would add would be a confirmation of a check out (I put the card in the letterbox and later thought it would be nice to have the confirmation of the check out - but that is picking at things!) GREAT HOSTEL.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Black Swan Hostel, and it exceeded all my expectations. The hostel's ambiance was warm and inviting, thanks to the clean and fragrant rooms that made my stay incredibly comfortable. What truly stood out was the delightful culinary experience provided by Nico and Ursulla, the incredibly talented chefs. Their Nico Paella was an absolute highlight—an explosion of flavors that left me craving for more. The dedication and skill they put into their dishes were evident in every bite. The staff at Black Swan Hostel were not just polite but genuinely attentive. They went out of their way to ensure a personalized and enjoyable stay, always willing to listen and accommodate any requests. From the moment I arrived until my departure, the hospitality and service remained consistently excellent. The combination of delicious food, friendly and accommodating staff, along with spotless and fragrant rooms, made my stay at Black Swan Hostel truly memorable. I can't wait to return!

Nothing

The location is great and close to all tourist sites What is most beautiful are the activities carried out by the workers there. My friend Santiago, called Santi. I loved him very much. He is a cheerful person and helped me a lot in adapting, knowing that I am not fluent in Spanish and my English is not good. I would like to extend my very warm regards to him. Also, there is another person, is Zaki. This person is very wonderful My experience with this hostel is very good

The bathroom is a little cramped, and the prices of some meals, such as paella, are expensive. They should be less than that. As for dinner, the menu method must be changed. That’s all. But with all these shortcomings, it remains for me to go and have an experience with very friendly people. I recommend going there

It was ideal in a great location for Airportbus stop (by 7 mins by run) and Barcelona Nord Bus terminal. In my case, I came back from Montserrat and stayed here one night and flied to Portugal. In addition, staff at the front desk was very kind and warmly welcomed me. Even I asked them a towel at midnight, they gave me. I would like to thank one of staffs named Zaqoiel for helping me.

Nothing needed. If there is some soap or shampoo to buy inside, it would be more convenient.

Placed in a really strategic location, close to a lot of the main attractions and not far from the beach either, the hostel is very alive, young and fun to be at. Lots of people there were very friendly and open and up for any sort of activity which is really vibe overall! The staff was super friendly and made you feel at home, big shoutout to Zakaria, Mencia and Santiago for being extra fun and sweet with us! Surely will go back there next time im back in Barcelona!

The upper bed of the bunkbeds were with no roof so if anyone entered and turned the light on, it would wake you up.. Unfortunately there is always some people that is less respectful of who´s sleeping, but that´s not on the hostel´s fault for sure:)
