Playa de la Fuente

I had to pay double on arrival as the hostel said there was a problem with Hostel World. After paying double I was also asked to pay for breakfast which is confusing as a free breakfast is the first thing advertised on HostelWorld. Due to this I decided to leave early as it really put a damper on my time in El Paredon. Wouldn’t recommend.

Booked for new years a month in advance to be told everywhere else had sold out that the price had now doubled, and tried to charge for the free breakfast that was advertised on hostelworld. Additionally, the rooms had no storage whatsoever resulting in bags being piled high in the room. The rooms upstairs also had no internet access and my bunkbed didn’t have a ladder meaning I had to awkwardly climb via someone else’s bed. The toilets and showers were awkwardly placed by the bar area.

A lovely hostel but a complete lack of liveliness as there is nothing going on here at all. Also when I stayed I got the free breakfast one day and then the second I was asked to pay? And when I stated it said free online they said it’s because the manager was coming which was bizarre and only then did they say it’s fine and I did not need to pay now which is strange. Staff are amazing though especially the volunteers
