Barcelona Pedralbes And Les Corts

Les Corts has a number of nice hotels where rooms run €100-200. For the student traveler, however, there are only two budget options, listed below. Its manageable size, clean and less-touristy streets, and convenient location on the green (L3) line are the neighborhood’s advantages. Travelers anticipating wild nights out, however, will be happier staying somewhere more central.

Hostal Sant Jordi Les Corts, Taquígraf Garriga, 7 (☎934 19 09 14; www.santjordihostels.com/apt-les-corts). Les Corts. Walk up C. de Joan Guell and make a right onto Taquígraf Garriga. More house than hostel, it has 6 rooms with a total of 20 beds upstairs. Downstairs, you’ll find a living room with TV and couches, a kitchen, and an outdoor patio with a BBQ. Neat and welcoming, the hostel is just the place to stay for those prone to homesicknesses; you’re sure to meet at least the owners and probably the other guests as well. Linens and towels included. Wi-Fi. Bikes €7 per day. Reception 10am-8pm; guests can let themselves in later at night. High-season beds €31-37; low season beds €10-12. MC/V.
Hostal Pere Tarres, C. Numancia, 149-151 (☎934 10 23 09; www.peretarres.org/alberg). Maria Christina. Walk 5min. down Av. Diagonal and make a right on C. Numancia; the building is on the right. This hostel understands a Eurotripper’s wants and it delivers. The lobby is industrial (think linoleum floors, plastic tables, and vending machines) but fun—travelers pack in around tables to swap stories and study maps. 240 beds with shared baths, kitchens, and A/C. Ping Pong tables and board games. Breakfast included. Laundry. Linens and towels included. Free internet. Singles €45-50; doubles €80-85. MC/V.
