Tips / Destination

Spain has a long history of tourism and as a result many different accommodation options are available, from swanky traditional hotels to boutique options.

 

As a millennial traveler on a budget ,your most likely spot is a hostel in a shared dorm. Here are some of the best around the country.

 

Hostel Kabul in Barcelona has become something of an institution for party-loving travelers. With shared dorms of up to 20 people and a relaxed policy on noise, it’s not for those who want to be up early to go sightseeing. However if you are a night owl looking for a good time, Kabul is the place for you.

 

In Madrid, U Hostels provides a more sophisticated experience. Sip on cocktails on the roof terrace of the 19th-century palace that houses the hostel, and take a short 15-minute stroll to the center of the Spanish capital at the Puerta del Sol.

 

In the southern city of Granada, consider staying at Oasis Backpackers. After a long day touring around the Alhambra and other sights under the searing sun, chill out in the relaxed common areas to recharge your batteries.

 

Visitors to Bilbao would do well to stay at the Pension Mardones. The experience is slightly different, with private rooms, but it’s bang in the center of town and close to all of the main attractions.
