Tagaste Barcelona

At Tagaste Barcelona, you’re a 13-minute walk from Universitat de Barcelona, and a 25-minute bus ride from Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. Wake up with a hot shower in your ensuite bathroom, before getting dressed for the day in your bedroom. Get your morning coffee from the vending machine in the shared kitchenette, or queue up for a full breakfast at iconic market restaurant El Quim de la Boquería instead.

With bus and metro stops less than two minutes’ walk away, exploring on weekends couldn’t be easier – while the 24-hour reception ensures you’re greeted by a friendly face no matter what time you get home. Step into your air-conditioned room, put your books away on the shelves, then kick back on the bed and tune into your favourite TV shows. Later, put a load on to wash in the on-site laundry. While you wait, catch up with your friends on the TV room’s comfy couches, or challenge them to a games room tournament.

If you’ve got work to do, use the free Wi-Fi to research a paper at your bedroom desk, or seek inspiration in the on-site library instead. Share ideas for a group project in one of the study rooms, then head to the computer room to get your assignment printed. When you’re finished, soak up the last of the day’s sunshine on one of the outdoor terraces, before checking out the menu in the dining room. If you’d rather eat out, try Romesco for authentic Catalan fare, or Rita Blue for upmarket Mexican fusion.
