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.

All the time that I stayed in Black swan was amazing, the way they treated the volunteers is an example for any volunteer project, thank you for every single person I met and places we’ve been, moments like those will be remembered forever. Thank you Barcelona.

I really enjoyed my time at Black Swan Barcelona and I’m grateful for all the amazing memories I made there. The atmosphere was super fun and social, and I met a lot of great people from all around the world. The work itself was manageable and not too stressful, which left enough time to explore the city.
One thing that could be improved is the room as well as the communication about the daily tasks, which was sometimes a bit confusing. Apart from that, it was a really nice experience overall, and i already miss everyone.

Helin was a lovely volunteer at Black Swan Barcelona. She was friendly, communicative, and always willing to interact with guests, creating a great atmosphere in the hostel.

At times she showed some mood changes that could lead to small misunderstandings, but overall she was kind, responsible, and pleasant to have on the team.

We wish her all the best in her next adventures! 🌻
