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.

My first time volunteering with Worldpackers! The hostel has a vibrant atmosphere, offering vegetarian dinners for guests and volunteers, plus fun activities and pub crawls. The other volunteers quickly became lifelong friends, and the staff - Agustin, Alex, Oriana, and Lucao - were absolutely exceptional. Lucas, the owner, cares for everyone with the perfect balance of professionalism and kindness, I’ll be forever grateful to him for giving me the opportunity to volunteer here. Shifts are simple but require punctuality, seriousness, and respect. Highly recommend! I left my heart there ❤️

Volunteering at Black Swan was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. It was my very first time volunteering, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place. The work wasn’t difficult at all. The other volunteers quickly became family, and I’m so grateful for every moment we shared – I love them with my whole heart. Huge love to the pub crawl team – such incredible and fun people. And of course, a big thank you to Lucas for being such a caring and supportive manager. Black Swan will always have a special place in my heart, and I hope to be back as soon as possible. ❤️

Voluntariar no Black Swan foi um presente do destino, o hostel me escolher para 1 mês eu acabei ficando 3 meses e acabou se tornando minha casa por este período. Desde o primeiro momento todos foram muito amigáveis, as tarefas são tranquilas e edificantes. Lucas, o gerente é bem comunicativo e uma pessoa que está sempre pronta para ajudar. Também quero agradecer os funcionários: Oriana, Borja, Lucão, Wendy, Sebastian, Agostin e outros que compartilhei bons momentos. O Staff de voluntários também foram incríveis, uma família <3 Recomendo para todos a experiência, viver em Barcelona foi um sonho

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!
