Eoin who was on reception the day of my stay in this hostel was an absolute gent. So accommodating with everything I needed during my stay in OneFam Paralelo. Made me feel welcomed from the moment I arrived which exceeded my expectations! Jeff who was on duty to make food for guests for free of charge that evening made a beautiful pasta dish that was a big hit with everyone! They have a brilliant structure in place at this hostel to allow all guests staying to mingle and get to know each other, offering a free meal in the evening, a drinking games option before a representative of the hostel will bring the guests out to a bar to mingle with the other OneFam hostels in Barcelona before then offering free entry to the bar/club that has been decided for that night. I would 100% recommend anyone and everyone to stay at this hostel if you want to make new friends and feel like you're at home and accommodated for.

This is one of the best run hostels I have ever stayed in. I booked it fairly randomly as this was a spontaneous trip and wanted a hostel that was going to be sociable and it surpassed my expectations. From the moment I checked in to when I checked out, the staff here do everything they can to make you feel very welcome. Every day they organise free activities; I played beach volleyball for hours, went on walking tours and played many many drinking games at the hostel. Every activity you meet up with guests from all of the other Hostel Ones, so you meet so many more people. They know the city backwards and can recommend other cool things to do, like the Parc Guell (thanks Caroline). The whole setup promotes guests to meet, do stuff during the day and party together, which is fairly unique in the hostel world; most hostels are sociable, but at Paralelo they make huge efforts to make sure everyone is having fun. Can't recommend this place enough, met some amazing people and my four days felt like much longer there was so much going on.

There really isn't much to say here. Perhaps replace one of the plugs in the sleep pods with a USB socket? The only other thing I think they may want to consider is dropping a few of the club nights per week and replacing them with something else - all of the clubs we went to were so packed that it's impossible to keep the group of hostellers together more than an hour, so the sociable aspect gets lost a bit. The free entry and organisation are amazing and the clubs are very fun, but maybe they can do other things that are more sociable: karaoke? live music? segway tours (lol)?

I had an amazing time at Onefam for the second time and even ended up extending my stay! The staff and volunteers are incredible—they genuinely love the lifestyle, and it truly feels like everyone becomes a family during your time there. Jo was super welcoming during check-in and made the whole process smooth and effortless. Zane went above and beyond, taking us to the best vista in the city on his day off, just because some of the group had to leave before the scheduled tour. That was such a thoughtful and unforgettable experience—thank you, Zane! ❤️ Travis is such a cool guy, an incredible chef, and a total party animal. I also had an amazing time in the House and partying with Juliana, who started her volunteering journey while I was there. Maddy was like the ultimate house mom—always ensuring everyone felt welcome and that their needs were met. The staff organized a fantastic Secret Santa event for everyone to take part in with games and so much laughter. We also had a delicious three-course Christmas dinner, which everyone worked so hard on from the early morning. Together, they created one of the most unforgettable and wholesome Christmas experiences I’ve had in years. I laughed so much and felt so at home. Big shoutout to Shalom, Alissa, and Caeris for being absolutely awesome as well. If you’re traveling solo—or even in a group—and want to party while making lifelong friends, I wholeheartedly recommend Onefam. 10/10, would stay again!

Such a beutiful place! You have a big terrace to smoke, drink and get to know people, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, the bathrooms are full of room and everything you need to change up. They also have a kitchen so big that it’s actually a living room with a big TV, they also cook for you both lunch and dinner and they have a private room with another TV to watch movies. They also organise a lot of activities everyday, like clubbing, beach trips and drinking games. The staff is ALWAYS at your disposal, anytime every day. P.S. Eoin is the main man in there, the best, always joyful and kind and helpful.

The highlight of my stay at Onefam Paralelo was the exceptional hospitality from the receptionist, Made. She was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making every guest feel valued and cared for. Made went out of her way to ensure everything was perfect and made the stay truly memorable. Trevis also added to the experience by organizing fun social activities, but it was Made’s warmth and professionalism that stood out the most. The hostel itself was clean, comfortable, and created a great sense of community, making it easy to meet and connect with others.

There’s very little to criticize, but the common areas could get a bit crowded during peak hours. Otherwise, everything was fantastic.

Solid stay. OneFam hostels have a great reputation and this one is no different. It’s not as large as some others, but it’s in a great neighbourhood, close to the metro. Clean, secure, comfy, AC, and staff are friendly. Didn’t join the nights out but it’s definitely a social hostel and you can easily meet folks on the terrace or inside in the kitchen. They leave the hostel at some point to ensure noise doesn’t travel up to rooms. Elevator to get to higher floors. Big shout to Eoin for being a gem.

Rooms are very small. If you have a lot of luggage it’ll be even more cramped. Checkin can sometimes take a bit if there’s a line of people.

This was my first hostel experience and it was beyond what I could imagine: absolutely amazing. The staff is so welcoming, they made it really easy to get to know everybody and they organise activities everyday. Big thanks especially to Ellis who cooked such delicious meals and was an absolute sweetheart the whole time. The beds are super comfy, with the curtains you get a lot of privacy and the whole hostel was super clean. Furthermore I met incredible people that I will never forget! I definitely recommend this place to any solo traveler !

Everything was perfect.. nothing negative to mention.

I liked almost everything. Super open atmosphere, activities, diverse people from all over the world. Great option for a fun weekend

1) I would note that the Hostel is more suitable for very young people. 18-25 years old, in my opinion. If you are 30+, you may feel a little out of place with the younger generation and their interests. 2) Someone took my sweater and socks from my drawer. I’m not sorry at all and I have no doubt that this was done by mistake after a stormy night, but you should still lock your locker, even if you trust your roommates. 3) This is not a flaw, but just a comment. This is a Party Hostel (as you will be warned about many times). Therefore, if you want to spend the night and sleep peacefully, you won’t be able to do that here. Just keep this in mind when planning.

This was the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen in a hostel! I have no idea how the staff managed to maintain restrooms and showers so clean, but they somehow did. My room was fully booked with people, and yet I never had to wait to get into a shower or a restroom, too, which was great. Apart from that, the staff was very nice and always willing to help. Also, the rooms were quiet all the time; even though many people were going out at night, I didn't get bothered by any noise. The temperature in the room was very low but once you got into your sleeping space, it was actually perfect. As a bonus, there were tapas places right on the corner of the block that worked all night, which was super handy after the concerts I came for. The street and the overall area was clean and felt safe and residential.

All was good
