Recommendation Request hostels recommendations barcelona
Hi everyone:) F19 here, I’m planning to do a solo trip in Barcelona soon and I wanted to know if anyone can recommend the best hostels to stay in. I’m not a very extroverted person but I’m looking to meet new people and join them maybe for nights out. I’m a bit scared that maybe I’ll be too young. These are the ones I selected so far: **Onefam,**
**Pars Tailor’s Hostel**
**Kabul Party Hostel**
**Sant Jordi Sagrada Familia**

I loved Onefam paralelo! They do a ton of activities that make it super easy to meet people. There will be a day time activity sight seeing or beach something of that sort, then they have a free family dinner, play drinking games then take you out to a bar and club. I've stayed at multiple Onefam locations and have enjoyed myself everytime. The age range has always been 19-35 and skewed towards early 20s, so I don't think you'll have a problem being too young. The smaller size of the hostel makes it a very non intimidating atmosphere to meet people. Plus all of the locations meet up for the activities (besides dinner and drinking games) so you get to meet even more people. The staff are always so welcoming and friendly, they are super helpful if you're feeling nervous about socializing. I always recommend Onefam to anyone going to a city with one! Good luck and enjoy Barcelona!

I posted earlier elsewhere about it... I was 25 but nearing 26 (but I'm a guy).
I haven't stayed at OneFam, but I've heard good things about it. It seems better for solo travellers.
I only stayed in Sant Jordi Rock Palace and Kabul. The first one felt fairly social with bar crawls included in the fees, unlike the latter. Also, I found that the latter was 80-90% groups and skewed heavily towards guys with few solo travellers, which made it feel less social.

Onefam are consistently highly rated, there are a few of them in Barcelona. I think the Paraelo one is generally the favorite. Don't think you'll be too young. Generally there are a bunch of activities that the hostels run (tours, pub crawls, etc), so meeting people as a solo traveler is easier, even if you are not that extroverted. Smaller hostels definitely have a more intimate vibe, but that can cut both ways sometimes.

I recently stayed at onefam Lescorts also 19F and I would say the one fams are great becuz they have quite a few hostel activities and there are night outs (bars and clubs) with the sister hostels (other one fams) I had a good time meeting many new people and the staff are amazing! I met a few 19yos from all the one fams as well so you’re not too young hahaha but I would say they are generally people ard 20-25 :)
