It’s a small hostel, the shared area is fairly nice, but the room (or at least the room I was in) didn’t have a window so it was naturally quite stuffy and the temperature was constantly changing as they used AC, luckily I didn’t stay here in the summer. The hostel workers were friendly, but many were young volunteers with no customer service experience and didn’t understand some of the hostel rules or personal space.

Would be nice to have more and complete toilets with washbasin, shower and shampoo, not right next to the beds. Cleanliness could improve too (toilets, washbasin pipes, under the mattress). Maybe automatic lights for the rooms? it would save electricity and solve the issue of people leaving them on. I think that the ambience could improve, or maybe I'm just not the type of guest they try to target. Beds are very comfortable, with a shelf, lamp and curtain. The location was great, next to Ruzafa.

Overall good hostel with a well-equipped kitchen and located close to the Centre and markets. Could be a cleaner in the showers and dorms, found much hair on the floor and shower everyday. They have their own WhatsApp group with tips and communication between the visitors to link up on activities, locker for your bags and possible to leave bag after checkout if needed. The rooms went like a sauna in the morning because of the AC turned off automatically early.
