Absolutely everything is available, it's really clean, a friendly atmosphere, the staff is always open and helping you and the activities are also really good. I had a good time there and felt comfortable.

Great Hostel. I thought I'd accidently booked a hotel when I starting walking up the marble staircase, but no, it's just really good value. Big Rooms, Big Terrace, Lovely Staff that'll take you out and a hell of a city.

boring, super clean but boring. They've got a terrace on the roof and keep it closed after 8pm!! The kitchen also closes early, there's no common area to stay at night.

Owner Comment (Show)
Dear Luca, Is a pleasure for us that you had chosen Home Backpackers for your stay in Valencia. We would like to thank you for the valuable feedback in Hostelworld. We have taken note of your comments. I'm really sorry that in your only one night stay you couldn't join us in the free walking tour, tapas tour or the pub crawl, it was lots of fun and party time that was informed in our announcements area, common areas and web page and unfortunately you get a little bored. Due to neighbours issues we are not allowed by the police to keep our common areas open after certain time, we can only keep open 24 hs our lounge area at the ground area that was available at your stay. Kindly to contact me directly if you are planning to return visit Valencia. So I will personally take care of your reservation. Kind Regards, Claudia Villasboa Manager Hôme Hostels Valencia Hôme Youth Hostel - Hôme Backpackers - 4Flats Plz Vicente Iborra S/N (46003) Valencia Movil: +34 676 542 880 Tel: +34 963 913 797 - Fax: +34 962 057 827 manager@homehostelsvalencia.com

One thing i really liked about this hostel was the kitchen. It has lots of space and tools to use. But the whole hostel's atmosphere was not really homey to me. The hallway and the bathroom had a bad smell. It has a really cheap price, but i would pay little bit more to go to a better hostel.

very good location. very easily accessible to all the old quarter features. A ~5euro taxi ride to the Renfe train station. Kitchen is big, equipped and clean BUT THE KNIVES ARE BLUNT (a minor drawback of an otherwise fantastic hostel). Free walking tour is a very welcome feature, Duncan the Scott does a good job and has so many good little tips and places to go. Go on the pub crawl with him and challenge him to how high you can pour sangria from and catch it in your mouth.

The pallea is good. A good amount of socialization. Bar crawl friday and saturday during the off season but not to many people went on mine... (still had lots of fun tho!) Only complaint would be that the directions from the bus stop were misleading. They need to tell you to to make a right at some point right before you "see the sign"... Google it before hand

It was a very pleasant hostel to stay in. The bathrooms were shared (men and women) but this caused no problems whatsoever. The bathrooms were cleaned at least twice a day, which was great! There were several nice activities organised and the hostel has a nice kitchen with some couches where people can hang out. Great experience!

This was a great hostel, the staff were very friendly and helpful and great facilities even if the shower doors seemed a bit short. I didn't like being told to carry around a tag as ID that I'm staying there but it was never checked and I've been told other hostels do it too, so maybe it's not that weird.
