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 fun side of the hostel appeals to children, and the hostel is very popular with families.

The gym

The BCN Sport Hostel is attached to a gym. Just €3 gets you access to all of the gym equipment, and believe us, there’s plenty of it!

Excess energy to burn? Let off steam in the weights and cardio room, with its full range of machines. Need a little motivation? Sign up for a class in one of the 4 halls. Ready to cool off? Then jump into the pool!

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!
