We throughly enjoyed our stay at the Babylon. The staff team only consists of 4 people and they cannot do enough to help you. The owner Tony is always on site and helps to serve the guests. There is a roof top sun terrace with a bar which again is nice and peaceful. Eexcellent location being in the old town for originality. Tapas bars a minute away and the harbour 5 mins away. Beware Hetrosexual males, this is a gay friendly hotel! which did not present a problem to us as a couple.

It was a total swindle, we arrived and they didn't know anything about us and our reserve through hostelworld. I don't recomend any of you to reserve this hostel. La reserva fue un timo, llegamos y no sabían nada de nosotros ni nuestra reserva a través de hostelworld. No recomiendo a ninguno que reserve en este hostal.

Cheap and central place with friendly staff. Some beds are really over their life cycle. Our back hurt still two days after the three night stay. Also the hotel is some nights quite noisy due to the bar downstairs.

Unfortunat5ely we were unable to stay at the Babylon as they had no hot water but booked us into the Don Juan whjich is across the street. I have stayed there 3 times in the past ( about 5-6 yrs ago) and altho the room and shower/toilet were extremely small it was perfect for our 3 night stay. The Babylon paid all additional charges.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Babylon. The owner and staff were extremely helpful and approachable. Nothing was to much trouble for them. The Babylon is excellentley situated in the Old Town with a short walk to all sights and facilities. There is an excellent roof garden which is a real sun trap.
