The leading website in price comparison has HotelsCombined.com determined that CENTRE ESPLAI, run by Fundesplai (Fundació Catalana de l’Esplai), is one of the 10 most popular and quality hostels in the world after a selection of 800,000 facilities. In the ranking, headed by Generator Hostel London, Meininger Hotel London Hyde Park and Generator Hostel Dublin, CENTRE ESPLAI ranks seventh and is the only hostel in Spain to appear.
Hostels are an increasingly popular option among those looking to reduce their travel expenses. Both young people and seniors are recognizing the benefits of these types of affordable accommodation.
The World Public Relations and Content Manager of HotelsCombined, Alycia Simons, claims that hostels are no longer an accommodation option simply for backpackers. As he explains, accommodation in these facilities can be the perfect solution for both families looking for an affordable place, and for those solo travelers who expect to meet like-minded people along the way. And, as he adds: “While they are not extravagant in their offerings, they generally offer the basics: a clean and safe place to stay, with a bathroom and access to a common kitchen.”
In addition to the most popular hostels in the world, Hotels Combined includes a list of countries that most tend to choose this type of accommodation. Travelers from Great Britain, Australia and Russia are the ones who prefer these, while Spain is in the sixth position.
An innovative and comfortable equipment
The CENTRE ESPLAI hostel, owned by Fundesplai, is an ecological accommodation in a modern, innovative, sustainable, eloquent building integrated into its environment. This facility, inaugurated in 2007, was designed by the prestigious architect Carlos Ferrater.

It has 74 rooms, 344 seats, auditorium, swimming pool, computer and training rooms and is fully adapted for people with reduced mobility.
