Things to consider for Cheap Hostels in Barcelona

Included vs. Excluded – Compare:

Besides looking for the final price per night, we also recommend checking what the hostel has included in the price. Is there breakfast? Bike rental?

Some hostels may appear more expensive at first glance, but when factoring in the amenities and services included, you may actually save money. 

In our Comparizon Tool for Hostels you can compare 3 hostels side-by-side. At glance, you see what is included, what is not and can instantly compare the price across different hostels.

Location:

Another big factor is the hostel location. The further away from the center or sights, the cheaper it gets. At least, this is the rule of thumb. Make sure you check the location properly before making your final reservation.

The difference of €2 — Quality:

Some cheap hostels in Barcelona come with low-ratings. Sometimes, it is just not worth it to save every penny. Especially when it comes to budget travel, the hostel choice can make all the difference of your trip. 

You may be able to score a much better hostel for as little as 1€ or 2€ per night more. Therefore, consider options and look at the hostels that cost slightly more, too. You might hit the jackpot.

Smart Tips to save money Travelling in Barcelona

Tickets for FC Barcelona: 

Would you like to watch a match of the famous FC Barcelona? Always check the official website for tickets. Never buy tickets from street vendors, these might be fake or highly overpriced.

The prices for tickets vary a lot depending on the match. The cheapest prices are usually for the Copa del Rey or matches against smaller teams.

Go for Lunch-Menus, not dinner:

It is very common for restaurants to offer a cheaper menu for lunch. These are much cheaper than the dinner options. Therefore, when traveling on a budget, keep an eye on this, so you can taste the local cuisine without breaking the bank.

Metro and Bus Tickets:

Check offers on the metro ticket station. You can buy 2 or 3 day metro tickets, saving you a lot of money. Also, you can buy so-called T-10 tickets, worth 10 rides. This is much cheaper than buying individual tickets. However, you cannot share this T-10 Metro ticket anymore, meaning you cannot validate twice in a row.

The metro tickets are also valid for buses. Also, you cannot buy these 24 hour or T-10 Tickets at the bus, only inside the metro station.
