Jam Hostel - Good Goal - The sustainable guide

Jam Hostel is a comfortable and sustainable hostel in Gracia, Barcelona

Although Gracia is one of the most sought after neighbourhoods for many, because of its local feeling, its lively day and night scene and its independent shops, hotels are not allowed and you won’t find any in this district. Certain hostels provide perfect alternatives and especially Jam Hostel does. This hostel has its concerns on sustainability and took some innovative measures to cover them.

Despite the fact that it is just a great hostel, with double rooms or dormitories, a lot of light, cleanliness, great location and atmosphere, their sustainable targets make the difference.

Some of their goals: energy saving, renewable energy, environmentally-friendly products, working together with cooperatives and ethical institutions for banking, insurance, maintenance, ecological, local and fair trade food, creativity and reuse for the interior design, …. Free fairtrade coffee and tea are offered when you’re a guest in the hostel, artistic and cultural events are held on the terrace, to bring local upcoming talent and visitors closer to eachother. And so on. On their website they give clear explanations on their approach of sustainability, including tips. If you stay in the Jam Hostel, they’ll also give you the sustainable choices as a first option.

You see, hosting a sustainable hostel or hotel goes further than asking guests to re-use their towels. JAM Hostel is one of the leaders in this work and provides a perfect example for others wanting to go in this direction. But above all, they’ll provide you with the best nights of sleep.
