The Schematics of Barcelona: The Hostel

Saturday, Feb 6th (Don't ask me what Schematics means in this sentence, it just sounded nice. Like I know what it means but if it doesn't make sense in this sentence its cause I'm a Mildred).
I woke up bright and early (6am before it was even bright out) in order to get to the bus stop on time for my morning  flight to Barcelona. So blah blah blah flew there, no ear problems, which is always good. blah blah blah took an aerobus into Barcelona to plaza cataloyna or something like that. It was gorgeous there and the view from the bus and just everything really. Barcelona is just a gorgeous place that I highly recommend.
So we stayed at Sant Jordi Hostels Rock Palace for 2 days. Amazing Hostel, I highly recommend going to that hostel if you are ever going to Barcelona. In fact I linked the name so you can easily book a room there that's how serious I am about the amazingness of the hostel. The staff there is just amazing, ready and willing to help whenever its needed. The only thing I didn't like about the hostel was the lights and that was literally just me wanting them off during the day because save the environment please. At the Hostel all the staff that I talked to could speak English so we didn't have any miscommunication. Basically this hostel probably spoiled all other hostels for us in the future, but it was so worth being spoiled. The hostel has its own events every day that people can participate in. The first night we were there they had a Tapas night, the second was a Pasta night and the night we just kinda creeped on the hostel (to be explained in a different post) was Sangria night. After they have their "in hostel" event they also take everyone who wants to go on a "bar crawl", taking people to one bar and one club with free admittance to both places.

The bedroom

The hostel room we stayed in was a 8 person room with 7 people from our group and one random person. Basically Timothy got to sleep with 7 girls. One of my favorite quotes from setting up this trip was when Timothy was asked if he was okay with sleeping with 6 girls. Everyone had their own bed don't worry. Each bed as you can see has a green panel which is a little nightstand really where you can put stuff place your own charging station and light. Our room was super secure because while there was a balcony, you had to have the front desk unlock the balcony for you and they would relock all balconies every night. The room was also super secure for leaving personal, such as passports which the hostel specifically told us not to be walking around with. In order to get to our room, you had to use the key card at the front door, then at our room door, and then our valuables were locked in a locker that you had to use the key card to open. It was very secure and safe feeling in the hostel. 

I really feel like I'm bragging about how great this hostel is, but you have to understand, this hostel was really great, way better than I expected. I've had past hostel experiences that were never as nice as this one so I wasn't expecting much but this was superb and if I ever went back to Barcelona it would be the place I stay at. In fact, I love this hostel so much this is just gonna be a post about the hostel now! 

Sant Jordi Rock Palace had basically everything you could need. There was a computer lab, a pool (which was closed because Spain is in winter time right now (don't laugh too hard at that....its hilarious though) and the pool was on the room), a fully stocked kitchen (which was amazing to use), and a chill area to name a few. Okay there were multiple chill areas, but we really only used the one in the basement next to the kitchen where all the night events took place since we weren't really in the hostel during the day. 

Also fun fact, the maximum group size that I could possibly book at Sant Jordi Rock Palace is 140 people. How cool is that?

So yeah Sant Jordi Rock Palace is a must stay at place!
