Sleep Green - Certified Eco Youth Hostel is a hostel in Barcelona, 300 m from Plaça de Catalunya, with shared dormitories and a commitment to sustainable tourism. Recognised for its work in this area, it offers a practical option for solo travellers who want to explore the city from shared spaces. The lounge has sofas and board games, while the communal kitchen includes a dining area, fridge, microwave and toaster. There is also a 24-hour reception and free luggage storage.
The three categories are beds in mixed dormitories for four, five or six people, with floor areas of 16, 17 and 22 m². All have a balcony, air conditioning, heating and a shared bathroom with a shower; most offer views of Ronda de la Universitat and Carrer de Balmes. The hostel organises activities and excursions, offers bicycle hire and has a washing machine and tumble dryer available for an extra charge. Its setting in Eixample makes it easy to combine museums, Modernist architecture and walks around central Barcelona.
The hostel offers three accommodation options, all in mixed shared dormitories and booked per individual bed. The four-bed category covers 16 m²; the five-bed option, 17 m²; and the six-adult dormitory is the largest, at 22 m². Each bed is a bunk, and the rooms have a balcony, air conditioning, heating and soundproofing.
City views and a balcony are among the highlights of all three categories, while most rooms look towards Ronda de la Universitat and Carrer de Balmes. The bathroom is shared and has a shower. Bed linen, bedside sockets and lockers are also provided. Some floors are accessible only by stairs, which is worth bearing in mind if mobility is an important factor when choosing a room.
At 16 m², this bed is in the four-bed mixed dormitory and is the most compact option available. The individual bunk comes with a balcony, city views and soundproofing; there is also air conditioning and heating. The bathroom is shared, as in the other categories.
The five-bed mixed dormitory offers 17 m², slightly more than the four-bed option and less than the largest dormitory. The booking is for one bunk bed; the balcony, city views and soundproofing distinguish this room, which also has air conditioning and heating.
At 22 m², the six-adult mixed dormitory is the most spacious of the three options. The individual bunk bed gives you access to a balcony and city views, and the room has air conditioning, heating and soundproofing. This is shared accommodation, not a private room.
The hostel offers free WiFi throughout, a 24-hour reception, lockers and luggage storage. Rooms include air conditioning, and there are family options, non-smoking accommodation and rooms with balconies or views. Public parking is nearby, requires a reservation and costs €20 per day.
To explore Barcelona, you can hire bicycles, join walking or cycling tours, and take part in cooking classes or activities about local culture. The programme also includes live music and performances. Practical services include concierge assistance, currency exchange and private check-in and check-out; for downtime, there are board games, as well as books, DVDs or music for children.
