Hostel of the week: Toc Hostel Barcelona
When the wanderlust bug bites you, you’re hooked for life. Nothing on earth can satisfy the unquenchable thirst for exploring far-away lands, and swapping stories with your fellow travellers along the way. After an intense day of having your senses illuminated by a beautiful new destination, you deserve a place to recharge your weary soul in preparation for the next adventure. Toc Hostel Barcelona is exactly that and so much more! In fact, everyone’s favourite hosteller/rapper 50 Cent recently filmed his own version of MTV Cribs there, and if it’s good enough for Fiddy you know you’re going to love it 😉

With its spot in Barcelona being one of the most popular and culturally spectacular locations on Earth (9.4/10 guest rating for location doesn’t lie), Toc Hostel has got you covered! The interior design is the very definition of eye candy, and the comfy vibe is perfect for anyone trying to unwind after a day’s wandering.
It’s well known that one of the keys to the heart of any nomad is great food! Toc offers a scrumptious breakfast buffet, as well as a top of the line kitchen that is just begging for you and other travellers to test your own culinary prowess. You can find most everything you might need at the in house mini-supermarket. Alternatively, if you’re feeling like having a bit of a “treat yo self” day, you can take advantage of their delivery service, and feast upon some seriously tasty Japanese or Italian takeaway, or even some local homemade food! In summary: Good eats and good people!
Toc has made it beyond easy for your soul to unwind and feel rejuvenated. Pool table? Check! Games zone? But of course! Trendy bar full of interesting people? Ummmm YES! But if you’re needing to take your R&R up a level, why not soak in the Spanish sun atop Toc’s rooftop terrace, complete with swimming pool and a healthy dose of Zen.
As if all of that wasn’t enough, the actual accommodation is top notch. The dorms are comfy, affordable, and they certainly don’t skimp on quality. Toc’s housekeeping service keeps everything looking, feeling and smelling F-R-E-S-H and the huge lockers will keep your belongings safe and sound. And why not grab a little “me time” in one of their private rooms?! The balcony views will take your breath away.
But as always, don’t just take our word for it! Here are some of the things Toc’s guests (including Fiddy himself have said:
50 Cent: “I’ve traveled the world and have stayed at some of the most insane places but none of them had the same vibe and energy that I found at the hostel in Barca, I never knew hostels could be that dope.”
Additional Guests: “Awesome stay at TOC! The beds were super comfy, it was located in a really good spot near a metro, la ramblas and the main shopping street, and the people working there were really lovely, gave us loads of good tips for Barcelona food, nightlife and sites.”
“First hostel experience and my friend and I were pleasantly surprised. Everything was super clean and modern. It was about a 10 minute walk to the center square. Bus from airport drops you off 3 min walk. Beds and bathroom clean. Stayed in 6 dorm female room.”
“Top notch hostel and people! Bar is great and the staff around the bar are the best! They always make you feel at home”
“My stay at TOC hostel was just great! Met very nice people, the bar in the common area help us with that. Very well located, close to the metro station. Definitely recommend!”
