Incredible themed décor
As soon as you step through the doorway of BCN Sport Hostel, the game begins! The spectacular décor in the entrance leaves no doubt as to the theme of the place.
The reception desk is held up by two enormous footballs, whilst the seats in the waiting area are arranged like American baseball bleachers. There’s even a stepped winners’ podium, just for taking photos, and exercise bikes available to all. It’s wacky, original and well-designed: we love it!

The gym

First work, then play: kick back in the jacuzzi or the hot tub, or enjoy a spot of sunbathing on one of the sun loungers. Ahhhh, that’s better!
