This was more of a breeding ground for school groups than an actual hostel. I was put in a dorm room in the basement where there were only 2 outlets in the entire room despite the fact that 12 people were staying there. So I would go upstairs and sit in the lobby to charge things and use the internet, but this was not only annoying in and of itself, but all the school children were always running around making noise. The bathroom also smelled disgusting. It made me not want to take a shower.

Everything was good! Specially, my suitcase was broken when I came to hostel. One of staffes helped me to fix it. Unfortunately, it could not fix but I impressed to them. Thanks a lot:)

Starting with the positive, the dorms are comfortable and this hostel has plenty of facilities (although don't expect to get any of them for free). Unfortunately, there was an incident during my stay and the way it was dealt with by staff was absolutely appalling. I returned on the last night to find I (and all my stuff) had been moved without my knowledge or consent and I was then downgraded to a 12 bed dorm. In credit, I got a full refund but this incident really ruined my stay here.

Great breakfast, spotty wifi, not enough bathrooms (but they were most certaily clean), loved that they played The Sound of Music every night at 8pm!! Totally worth the stay and I would stay here again for sure!

I was very impressed with how the hostel was kept up. Our door was not working very well, but that is my only complaint. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I would stay there again in the future.

The staff had a tendency to be rude. Better customer service skills would be appreciated. Not ideal for a backpacker as the hostel had lots of children running around in the foyer area which is the only area where you can use the internet. On the plus side, the free breakfast is amazing with hot food!! The hostel is very clean with comfortable beds.

The location was pretty far out of city centre, although the city wasn't too big! The staff weren't extremely friendly, there was one male staff working night shifts that was super unfriendly and really made a horrible impression on Jufa in general. The facilities weren't bad but the washrooms smelled like mildew.

Only problem we had was that a huge group of school kids stayed at the same time so it was really loud but the hostel can't really help that. The showers smelled moldy but looked pretty clean. Huge spaces and lots to do!

Great Breakfast. Very clean. Could do something about security in terms of people walking in and out. Thanks.

Great location, the old city is within 10-min (or less) walk. Only one electrical plug in a 8-bed room. Not every staff was friendly and most of the time the counter/front desk was empty. Great buffet breakfast.

Nice place to stay, with a view of the mountains. Not the most homely but can't be expected of a big hostel. Good breakfast.

This facility was extremely average. It smelt weird throughout the establishment and awful in the showers and bathrooms. The staff was just okay.
