Sorry to bother people with this, but I seem to get a better response on this forum than on the LP one.
Can anyone tell me if I would have to get a reservation to stay in a hostel in mid August? (Barcelona - la rambla district)
Should I book something or risk it?
Thanks for your help.
peace |

You�ll need to book. If you can�t find anything else you can always go to the "Kabul" hostel on Plaza Real: if you get there at 9:00 they do a first-come first-served arrangement. It�s a bit inpersonal, huge and full of transient backpackers, but it�s clean and secure and right in the middle of the old quarter and it�s somewhere to put your bag and have a snooze until you can find a longer term hostel. If I were you I�d buy "Lonely Planet - Spain" and call/email something out of that. |

Thanks. I'll do that.
Got the book, but it's a bit old. Prices are still in pesetas.
Cheers |

I can recommend this one - http://www.youthostel-barcelona.com/home_page_eng.htm
It's just off Las Ramblas, new, clean and not expensive (although that was two years ago!).
But do book in advance! I booked with this one over the internet. |
