About

Break N Bed Hostel - Barcelona

Break N Bed Hostel sits on Carrer de Ricart in Barcelona's Poble Sec district, about a 25-minute walk from the Tivoli Theatre and a 5-minute stroll to the open-air Teatre Grec. With just seven rooms, the hostel keeps things small and manageable, and guests consistently point to the location as a highlight for exploring the city.

The hostel offers a mix of mixed and female dorms (4, 8, and 14 beds) plus a quadruple and a twin room. Communal spaces include a kitchen, dining area, and a sunny terrace where you can hang laundry. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and the 24-hour reception makes late arrivals easy.

In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Top marks for location — Guests consistently praise the hostel's position near Poble Sec metro, with easy access to Montjuïc, Plaza de España, and the city centre.
  • Friendly, helpful staff — The 24-hour reception team is repeatedly described as kind, attentive, and always ready to assist, which adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
  • Great value for money — With prices from £11, guests feel the hostel offers excellent value given the location, facilities, and service.
  • Clean and recently refurbished — Beds come with privacy curtains and lockable drawers, and the showers and toilet areas are noted as clean and well-maintained.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small hostel, simple setup — With only seven rooms, the hostel keeps things intimate but it lacks extras like a bar or common lounge beyond the kitchen and terrace.
  • Mixed reports on privacy and quiet — While most guests sleep well, a few noted that dormitories can be noisy, and one guest reported being moved from a private room to a shared dorm.
  • Basic amenities — The amenities list is limited to essentials like Wi-Fi and a kitchen; there's no mention of a bar, communal workspace beyond a sitting area, or daily housekeeping in private rooms.
  • Check-in window may be tight for some — Check-in runs from 13:00 to 23:59, so if you're arriving late, you'll need to plan around that, though the 24-hour reception helps once you're in.

“Staff were super helpful and friendly. Great location near public transport and a short walk to the city centre. Communal areas – terrace and kitchen – were perfect for meeting people. Laundry and hanging clothes on the terrace was a bonus.”

6Verified guest

“The staff are quiet but kind and hardworking. Comfortable beds with privacy curtains. 24-hour reception is a plus. Close to the Montjuïc green area. Recently refurbished with spacious beds, lockable drawers, and plenty of showers and toilets. Kitchen is well-equipped, dining area is big, and there's a large sunny terrace. Cleaning is diligent and reception always ready to help. Honest prices and great value.”

6Verified guest

“The female shower alone deserves five stars – I'd come back just for that. The 14-bed room was spacious and the patio a decent size for drying clothes and relaxing. Kitchen had everything, staff were clean and attentive. Fantastic location near Poble Sec metro.”

6Verified guest

“Excellent value for money. Location was key – metro just minutes away, making it easy to get around. Free luggage storage meant I could sightsee without dragging my bags.”
