it is quite difficult to find this hostel if you don't have a proper map or telephone number for this hostel. and beside it doesn't have parking space for travellers who renting cars because it is quite for budget travellers. after all, the staff is jovial and cool, the facilities is excellent.

FAcilities are terrible, how can you have a bathroom with three open showers beside one toilet...thats just stupid. Also there was hot water in my room for both nights. One of the staff was very rude and had no respect whatsoever for other.

Not a bad hostel. No alcohol policy was a bit inconvenient if you're looking to have beer or wine with dinner. The first floor bathrooms smelled horribly, and you had to walk through a male only room to reach them. I had an early flight to catch in the morning, and drunk people kept stumbling in at all times of the night. Also, no showers on the first floor, so make sure to bring some clothes with you so you're not stuck walking down the stairs in just a towel.

Excellent value for money, very well located - but a 6 bed dorm had to go through our room to get to the bathroom (1 toilet between 10 people and 3 showers), so of course we were woken in the night. Our dorm was pretty cold. The DIY breakfast was just about adequate. People staying there were very friendly which made it more fun than a hotel.

The room had no lock on the door so although the stuff in my locker was safe, I wouldn't want to share the room with strangers. Also there were only 4 lockers and 6 of us in the room, again not a problem as I was only sharing with friends but if you were alone this could be difficult. Breakfast was pretty poor, even compared to other hostels in Spain. I also tried to email the hostel twice and ring them to amend our booking but got no response, which I think is pretty poor customer service.

They have a really nice terrace on the top floor which is very Spanish and lovely to relax on during the warmer months. Not the best place to meet people if you are a solo traveller

There is bad security, because we didn't get any lockers (all were full)!Only public computer didn't work, terrace and kitchen were very dirty and if you want to use the toilet, U have to lock also access to showers for 10 people or if U want to use shower, at this time nobody can't use the toilet! Room for 6 and 4 is actually room for 10, cause U have to pass 4bed dorm, to get to 6bed dorm and there is only one light switch for both rooms, so if your roommates are late, could be really annoying

Not that easy to find. Also information provided left a lot to be desired. However the place was generally very good. Staff were good and generally it was a fun place to stay

Although the staff was friendly and compliant, they could not speak English, the only computer they have, did not work for the whole time of my stay and I therefore had no access to internet. There was only one toilet for 10 people in a room and the level of cleanliness was far from good when it comes to linen and beds. The breakfast is basic but does the job. Still I have to give credit to both receptionists (men) for kindness and trying their best to make this stay a pleasant one.

the hostel was in a good location, close to shops, restaurants and within walking distance from tourist attractions. i was ripped off by the staff for the locker key, they didnt give me back all my deposit, for no reason. it was rather clean, however the shower looked as though it hadn't been cleaned in a few months. free breakfast and wifi was an added bonus. the rooms were big enough for the amount of people. free air conditioning which was well needed.staff on reception has not much english
