Absolutely amazing hostel. The best I have ever stayed in. The facilities were brilliant, hot tub, rooms were clean and bright. The staff made the experience. They welcomed you as old friends rather than costumers. First evening they had made paella for dinner which was free every night, as we arrived late they had kept us some. Little things like this were so thoughtful and made you feel at home. Again the staff were fantastic, the daily activities were great, I would go back every time.

Loved everything about the hostel! Super fun free communal dinners, the staff was super nice and helpful and fun and I loved all of them! Beds were comfy and bathrooms were clean. A little out of the way but near a metro stop.

We loved the outdoor area, donation based breakfast and dinner and the employees are amazing. Cynthia did a great job at giving us a full heads up on all the things to see in the city, Valerio made you feel like you were his bestfriend right away and Paulina knew where to take us out for the best time. All around, it was a social and fun atmosphere!

I really loved this hostel - it's a good size, not too big so you actually get to know the people (not like in the impersonal mega-hostels which always feel to me like big train stations), and the getting-to-know people is also facilitated by the free evening sit-down dinners and the great outdoor space out back. It's a great location a short walk from Las Ramblas and the area is lovely. The staff in this hostel are amazing, so friendly and will do anything for you.

By far the best hostel that I ever stayed at! Every night they make dinner for you and everyone at the hostel eats together! It is a great community environment that allows you to meet new people from all over the world! I will definitely stay here next time I am in Barcelona!

This hostel is amazing! Superb atmosphere, excellent attendance, the staff are the best I've ever met! They give you a map when you get on it, explain everything you can do in the city, how to get on it, hints and more. Every night people gather on the common room to have dinner - really tasty, by the way - and we know each other, makes plan for the night, or just stay hanging out there. If you're in doubt, just choose this hostel, it definably is the BEST ONE IN BARCELONA!

This is a fantastic hostel and the best I have ever stayed in. The staff (Valerio and Cynthia) are great hosts and make you feel comfortable from the moment you step in. There is a real family/homely feel to this hostel as all the guests mix and have dinner each night thanks to the delicious recipes by Vale and Cynthia. I highly recommend this hostel. Thank you again very much guys. Will miss you.

Hostel One Paralelo is the best hostel I've ever stayed at. The staff is incredible at fostering a social atmosphere so it's really easy to meet fellow travelers. They cook delicious meals every night, organize walking tours, and most nights take everyone out to bars. They know the city really well and have great recommendations for everything you could possibly want - sites, daytrips, restaurants, bars, etc. It's also really clean and centrally located. Staying there is a fantastic experience.

By far the best hostel of my trip! While the facilities, location and food are all excellent... what sets the hostel apart are the staff! Angel, Gonçalo and Valerio did an amazing job of making me feel welcome. They had fantastic advice on where to go, what to see and how to get there. I can't thank them enough. They treat everyone as family and it really shows. Their evening meals create a great vibe and are a chance to meet people. I highly recommend a visit and can't wait to go back!

Amazed at how kind and thoughtful the staff were- from the moment we walked into this hostel until the moment we had to leave, they were there to help with absolutely anything you needed. I have stayed at other hostels in Barcelona, but none that could ever rival the awesomeness that is Paralello. If you are in Barcelona, stay there. If you haven't planned to go to Barcelona, go just to stay there! Seriously. It's the closest you will feel to home at any hostel in Europe! Thanks again guys!!
