Amistat Beach Hostel Barcelona

Amazing atmosphere in this hostel full of colors and fun. The staff is super friendly and helpful with everything you need. Every day you have group activities to go. It's cool to get to know new people. All the spaces in the hostel are very comfortable and very well decorated. You can really feel a young vibe. I was also really happy with the quality of the kitchen appliances. A lot of space and material to prepare your own meals. And it's cool the fact that you see the hole living room, so you're never alone since you can still talk to people that it's chilling in the commun area. Totally recommend this place if you're passing by Barcelona. It's near the beach and the subway station as well.

The employees are fantastic and always helpful, and breakfast is decent, worth the 3.50€. There was a fideuá dinner for 6€ per person while we were there, which was delicious and well worth it. The rooms have lockers big enough for a large suitcase, and there is a luggage room you can store things in for free if you arrive early or leave late. If your room has an attached bathroom, the shower doesn't seem to contain water well, as it just opens into the bathroom with no door or curtain, so the entire floor gets wet. If you need to do laundry, the dryers don't really work, and that seems to be a common occurrence, since obtaining a second laundry token (the machines run on tokens purchased from the front desk) for free still didn't dry our clothes. There is space on the terrace to hang things, but many people use that so it can be a little tight to find space for your clothes.

We arrived late and night and were given full access to the kitchen, and FREE PASTA. The rooms were spotless, the lockers were secured with keycards, and each bed had its own light and charging port. The hostel was alcohol-free, which created an all inclusive atmosphere. The vibe was great, the staff was extremely friendly and resourceful. 10/10 would recommend.

Nice hostel for a beach, good place for meeting people. The bar crawl was nice, I really enjoyed. The rooms are clean. The bathroom were okay, didn't like to share the showers with everyone at Hostel because when I forgot my stuff in the showers, people will take them

Really lovely place. Very friendly staff. Clean and in a good location. I have traveled alot and I think it's one of the best hostels I have ever been. Even the breakfast is great but the staff complete it for me. Big shout out to the English guy on reception. Always helpful.

Staff is very nice and helpful. Hostel is a 8 minute walk to the beach. Almost all things cost at the hostel. Showers are private and clean but could much better - no towel hooks and is very cramped, shower heads are trash. There is no drinking allowed at the hostel.

Absolutely brilliant place👌🏻 I stayed here for a week a few weeks ago and loved every minute of it! The hostel itself was great, particularly with the free events that they put on while I was there (beach games, spanish lessons, salsa lessons etc). I also went on the pub crawl a few times which was pretty good too! Perfect spot, right near the beach (about a 5 minute walk) and brilliant for if you're travelling alone with the people you're able to meet while there! Couldn't recommend the place enough.

Be warned, I'm still having nightmares about the showers. I have no idea what is growing in them. They need to clean them at least twice a day, maybe three times, but I bet they do it once a week. They good thing is they are close to the beach, which is very popular with the locals so you need to get there early if you want a good spot. Just shower at the beach. And they have lots of activity. Hence the two stars. If they could clean the showers (and other bathrooms) it could be a great place. Staff is friendly and helpful and the best party if the stay.

The bedroom is nice. Got individual locker! Free pasta, but get your own sauce. It's the first night so not sure about breakfast. However, the bed has some stain spots! They will give you covers but not super clean!

I stayed here back in 2016 when I was backpacking Europe, and it was in my Top 3 favorite hostels ever. A 5-minute walk from the beach, great staff, great pub crawl, free pasta, lots of opportunities to meet new people, clean dorms, right next door to a great pizza place, very cozy lounge area... I could go on and on and on.

This is definitely one of the better hostels I've stayed in. We picked it based on price and location... and it lived up to our expectations. It was a quick walk to the beach and while it was far from the Gothic Quarter, you COULD walk there (my blistered feet attested to that), though there was also a subway station just a few blocks away that could take you anywhere you needed to go. The rooms were crowded, but that's expected. They (and the rest of the hostel) all seemed clean enough. There were only thin sheets on the beds, which concerned me at first, but it turns out that Barcelona doesn't get that cold at night (ha!) so it wasn't a problem. The kitchen was spacious and had everything we needed, including places to put our groceries. It did, however, get locked at night (oops, when I didn't feel like bringing a key card out and hid it in the kitchen..). There was also a nice patio area to sit and relax and drink your wine. Overall, both my friend and I were more than happy with our choice in this hostel. It got loud (as all do) but wasn't a 'party hostel', which we really appreciated.

Pros - Cheap - Breakfast included - Good location near the beach and accessible by public transport - Friendly staff (even if one guy in particular was so earnestly unhelpful I had to wonder if he was putting it on) - Every guest gets a key card which is also used to lock and unlock your storage locker. This is great as it reduces the risk of 'oh crap I forgot a padlock and don't wanna pay €5 to rent one' - Everything is as clean as you'd expect it to be - There are various events and bar crawls on if that's your scene and you want to get involved - Various things for sale at reception such as sun cream and after sun - There are computers, wifi, printing etc. - Beds are comfortable. I was able to get decent sleep (though admittedly very little can stand between me and sleep) Cons - Towel rental is €2.50 - Showers are pretty crap even for a hostel - Breakfast is not great. If you're on an extreme budget you can probably get your fill of toast and cereal, but that's all there is. They also had a chocolate spread that tasted awful which upsets me because I don't understand how chocolate spread can taste awful. If you have a few euro to spare I would suggest getting pastries from a bakery and fruit from a supermarket as there are many of each nearby selling nice cheap things - There's no bar - My sheet had some faint but questionable stains on it. Nothing bad enough to complain about it but not hugely pleasant - As standard you only get a sheet and have to rent a blanket (not a problem in the heat but not ideal at other times of year) - Although the area is great it's not very central Overall not the best or the worst hostel I've experienced. I wouldn't actively recommend it but I wouldn't discourage anyone from going.

Great hostel if you're staying in Barcelona for a few days and need a cheap and affordable place to crash. This hostel is relatively new so it seems like not a lot of people know about it just yet. My friends and I (a party of 7) stumbled onto it while planning a weekend trip to Barcelona, and we were all incredibly pleased with how nice the experience was. For two nights, we paid roughly 60 euro each and there is a 10 euro security deposit on the sheets they give you. Free breakfast is served daily from 8 - 10 A.M. The facilities here are amazingly clean and there are plenty of toilets and showers to accommodate the whole hostel. I never had to wait for a shower and even though the hostel was filled with tons of people, I almost always had the entire shower room or bathroom to myself. The staff here is incredibly friendly.and helpful and they speak very fluent English. If you're in college or in your early 20's, this is a great place to stay at because the hostel has many promotions and planned events related to clubbing, bar crawls, and just general Barcelona tourism for every day of the week. If you're looking for a cheap place in Barcelona to stay and you don't mind sharing a building with a bunch of young party-goers, check this place out.

Couldn't have asked for a more perfect hostel. Very helpful staff who all spoke English, 9 euros a night, great wifi, private lockers only accessible by your key, comfy beds, big kitchen, free breakfast, hot water, plenty of showers and bathrooms to accommodate everyone, great environment. Pretty much everything I could have asked for in a hostel. I have no complaints at all.
