Hostel Arco de Triunfo
Our hostel is a fun and welcoming place from people from all over the world. Most our staff speak English, Spanish and their mother tongue, so it's a great place to practice your language skills!
We offer all of our volunteers a comofortable bed in a shared dorm, free dinner every day, as well as a whole array of fun activities throughout the week.
You will make new friends, learn new skills and fall in love with one of the most fascinating cities that Europe has to offer!
Our international staff is one of the best aspects of our hostel! The relationship between the volunteers and the rest of our staff (managers and receptionists) is rooted in mutual respect. We value good communication, making sure of have weekly meetings and help to get you acclimatized! Is very important for our team to have a great comunication feedback, energy to work and share great moments with the guests and staff.

had an amazing time in black swan hostel – i wish i stayed there longer! for me at first the tasks were a bit challenging (especially cooking), but then you get used to it and in the end it’s very easy. you work 5/6 hours per day, 5 days a week. what i liked the most were special activities – you go with guests to places like bunkers, tibidabo – it's very fun! during my stay at the hostel i met a lot of people, i made so many friends – life there is never boring! also, hostel is in a very good location. i recommend this place if you want to meet new people and have fun in barcelona!

Pase dos meses geniales! Recomiendo mucho este hostel, las instalaciones son buenas, genial para practicar ingles, es perfecto si te gusta salir de fiesta, la ubicación es muuy buena y tenes comida todos los días. Si necesitas algún día libre o horario podes hablarlo tranquilamente y te lo respetan. El cuarto de voluntarios es chico pero normal de hostel. Gracias por todo🥰🥰

This volunteering experience exceeded my expectations! The entire staff is incredibly welcoming and supportive 🩷 Tasks include cleaning, deep cleaning, housekeeping, dinner prep, and socializing with guests through fun activities outside the hostel (you also can suggest your own!!). Days off are flexible if requested in advance, and the benefits are as described here. Plus, the hostel’s location is perfect! A great way to practice english and spanish, meet people worldwide, and enjoy this amazing city
