Cheapest Hostels in Spain

The cheapest beds in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Granada

The cheapest place to rest your weary head in Spain (apart from under a bridge!) is in a youth hostel. You can often get a bed and breakfast for about 15€. You'll have to share a room, but there is usually good security and people are generally very respectful. Yes, you occasionally get snorers, but apart from that it can be a pretty good deal.

Hostelworld is the biggest site for booking youth hostels in Spain. They don't just offer dorms - they also specialize in the budget end of the hotel market too. If you're not bothered about cable TV, air conditioning and room service, the hotels on Hostelworld may be exactly what you need.

Note that sometimes the hostels are out of the city center. On this page you'll find the cheapest beds on Hotelworld that I think are worth staying at. You can search for the specific hostel listed below or browse all the hostels in the city. Remember to check the map to make sure it's well located.

Some of these prices go up by about 2€ or 3€ in the summer.
