Very close to Las Canteras and easy to get to other bus stations if you want to go elsewhere on the island. Beds and rooms were clean and bottom bunks had curtains. Nice sized lockers for each person, but no locks on the room doors. Only things that could be improved were that the lower shower was broken (but still useable) and one of the toilets was unstable and seemed like it could tip over. Definitely you get what you pay for; fine enough for a few nights.
