THIS PLACE IS MORE LIKE A PRISON THAN A HOSTEL. VERY STUDENT ACCOMMODATION WITH NO WARMTH AT ALL. NEVER GO HERE AGAIN!

Tha staff are geared and reared to deal with students under the assumption that they are scum. Being niether a student nor scum I was taken aback with their manners. The area is lively and noisy especially as one needs windows open for lack of air-conditioning. Avoid double-rooms. They are the size of a small single with added bed.

not really a hostel as a student dorm. Is nice and cheap, clean and well appointed (though a bar would have been nice) but the area is by far the worst ive stayed in outside of Harlem New York . . .

Although it is said on most booking sites that every room has a computer, this is NOT the case. However, if you have a laptop with you, you can connect without a problem. You have to ask for the codes at reception which they will give you without a problem. If you don´t have a cable with you to connect, they will also provide you with one.

The accommodation itself is very nice but the area where it is located is rather seedy, to say the least!

A practical, safe and clean place with great en-suite single rooms with kitchenette but not a fun and social travelling experience, however not really the city for that either!

blas otero gave me everything i paid for and expected. clean, basic accommodation at an economic price. the near vicinity is run down and full of poor immigrants and holds no attractions for travellers. about 10 minutes distant is the old town with lots of lively pintxos bars and tram and metro stops for getting out and about. NOTE the internet connection in the room is via a cable (not wifi) which you must take with you.

Very nice hostel. You can cook your own food and keep your food in the fridhe, you'll save a lot of money. Very clean and some extra services: internet, gym.Don't bother about the people complaining about sercurity in the street; it's true that it is not in the "rich" zone but it's like any cosmopolitan city where inmingration is something normal.

the building itself is very secure, the neighborhood, however, did not make me feel safe at all.
