Can I use the rooftop pool year-round at Sant Jordi Rock Palace?

The rooftop pool at Sant Jordi Rock Palace is open seasonally from April to October, weather permitting. During peak summer months (June-September), it's open daily from 10 AM to 10 PM. In shoulder seasons, hours may be reduced based on weather conditions. The pool is heated, but availability depends on outdoor temperatures and local regulations.

Are the guitars really free to use and do I need musical experience?

Yes! Sant Jordi Rock Palace provides several acoustic and electric guitars that guests can borrow for free. No musical experience is required - whether you're a seasoned musician or complete beginner, you're welcome to use them. There are designated practice areas, and staff can recommend nearby music stores if you need picks or other accessories.

How often are the live music nights and can guests perform?

Live music nights typically happen 2-3 times per week, usually on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings starting around 9 PM. Guest performances are absolutely encouraged! You can sign up at reception during the day to get a slot. The hostel provides instruments and basic sound equipment, making it perfect for showcasing your talents to fellow travelers.

Is Sant Jordi Rock Palace suitable for non-party travelers?

While Sant Jordi Rock Palace has a strong party atmosphere, it offers more balance than pure party hostels like Kabul. The music theme attracts creative travelers, and there are quieter areas for relaxation. The pool area is great for daytime socializing, and the location near Sagrada Familia makes it excellent for sightseeing. However, expect some noise from live music and pool parties.

How far is the hostel from Barcelona's main nightlife areas?

Sant Jordi Rock Palace is about a 15-20 minute metro ride to Barcelona's main nightlife districts like Gothic Quarter and El Born. The nearby Gaixample area (10-minute walk) offers great gay nightlife. While not in the city center, the metro station is just 5 minutes away, making it easy to reach all of Barcelona's party spots.

Are there any age restrictions for the rooftop pool parties?

Pool parties at Sant Jordi Rock Palace are restricted to guests 18+ only, regardless of the hostel's general age policy. Pool parties typically happen on weekends during summer months and include DJ sets, drinks, and games. These events usually run from 2 PM to 8 PM to respect noise regulations and local community guidelines.
