How to pick your Private Rooms

The below tips do not only apply to hostels, but also to hotels, and guesthouses. This also not just only applies to Barcelona, but in fact to many cities in Europe and even worldwide.

We have learned the things below on all our travels around the globe.

The advantages of a private room in hostels are obvious: You can meet fellow travelers in the common area and enjoy a good night rest in your private room.

What else should you pay attention to? Here you go:

Double Room vs Twin Room

Many hotels and hostels claim to offer a double room, but sometimes it is technically NOT a double room. All they do is pushing two single beds together. You end up with this annoying gap between the two mattresses.

On Hostelworld and Booking you can preview photos of the room you are about to book. This will help to check if you will actually get a double room (with one bigger mattress) or a Twin Room (with actually two single mattresses).

It is also good to know that some hostels claim TWIN Room, but in fact you will be staying in a room withh one bunk bed. The result is the same, since it has two separated mattresses. However, one of you will have to climb up the bunk bed.

On Hostelz.com, you can actually filter for the proper room type. We let you filter for each room type available. This can be:

• Single/ Individual Room
• Double Room
• Twin Room
• Triple Roome
• Quadruple Room
• Family Room
• Apartment
• Luxury Suite
• and many more

Rooms with and without Windows

Some rooms actually do not come with a window. If this is something you will not enjoy, make sure you check again the photos properly.

It also helps to specifically mention this when doing your reservation. With your reservation, you can usually leave a message for the hotel/hostel.

It is an open secret that every hostel/ hotel has better and not-so-much-better rooms. When you leave a note asking specifically for a window, it is usually honored (but not guaranteed).

Shared vs Ensuite - The Bathrooms

One important thing to know is the difference between the meaning of the word "ensuite" and "shared".

Ensuite basically means you will have your own, private bathroom.

Shared means that you share this toilet/ bathroom with at least one more room. In hostels it is also common to have one shared bathroom with many toilets and showers for all rooms/ dorms at the same floor.

You should also know, the private room with a shared bathroom is usually much cheaper. You can check for this easily on Hostelz.com through setting up your filter. It is so easy.

Can couples stay together in hostels in Barcelona?

Yes, absolutely! If a hostel offers private rooms, couples can book a room and stay together. However, sharing a bed in a dormitory is not possible as beds in hostels are priced per person. Couples can opt for separate beds in the same dormitory or book private rooms with double beds.

It's important to note that some hostels in Barcelona may only have female-only or male-only dormitories, so mixed-gender dormitories would be the only option for a couple of different genders.

Why Choose Hostels in Barcelona for Couples?

Hostels in Barcelona are an excellent choice for couples who are looking for a social and affordable accommodation. Hostels offer a communal experience, allowing couples to meet new people and have fun together. Additionally, staying in a hostel is often more budget-friendly than traditional hotels, which means couples can save more money and spend more on exploring the city.
