About

Designed with young travelers in mind, Onefam is where you’ll meet amazing people, uncover Barcelona’s hidden gems, and have the time of your life. We mostly recommend it for travelers aged 18 to 45. Onefam is a hostel primarily for adults and may not be suitable for minors. Guests under 16 must be accompanied by a legal guardian. Guests aged 16–17 require prior parental authorisation by email.

What really makes our hostel unique and what has helped us win HostelWorld awards year after year, are our amazing team and incredibly social atmosphere.
Our staff are travelers just like you, but we aren't just here to party. We'll cook you dinner, take you on daytime adventures, and share our expert knowledge of the city.

If you still need more convincing, Onefam Paralelo is conveniently located walking distance to many of the main sights of Barcelona, such as Las Ramblas, Plaza d'Espanya, Montjuic, the waterfront and the beach. We are also next to the super efficient metro of Barcelona, so it really is the perfect place to call home whilst you explore our beautiful city.

This is a great hostel! It is extremely easy to socialise, meet people and go out if you want. The staff are friendly and very welcoming and the free dinners are enjoyable especially if you’re on a tight budget. The bunks in the dorms have great privacy. The location is a little further away from the main sights but it’s a pleasant walk or easy metro ride. Highly recommend.

Hostelworld says

Onefam Paralelo opened in 2011 and has received very high ratings from our reviewers ever since. Our guests say the "cool, friendly and family-like vibe is set by the owner himself", with attentive, friendly staff and clean, new and comfortable beds. It's located near Paral-lel metro station, "super close and convenient to the centre of Barcelona", within walking distance of Plaza d'Espanya, La Rambla, Plaza Reial and more. We like their free nightly dinners, made by the staff and designed to create a communal family atmosphere.
