Plan your stay at Sleep Green - Certified Eco Youth Hostel

This eco-friendly hostel in Barcelona combines shared dormitories with balconies, a communal kitchen, local activities and nearby access to the metro, train and airport bus.

Room types

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.
