El personal muy amable. El espacio es acogedor y está muy limpio. La situación es inmejorable. A 5 minutos de la estación de autobuses y tren. Un lugar para repetir, sin duda!

Personal excelente!!! Muy amables, responsables y divertidos :) Sólo se debe corregir en la web lo de que hay desayuno disponible (a precio módico) porque no lo hay. Lo que hay es la posibilidad de comprar cápsulas para la cafetera. Hay cafeterías y mercados muy cerca, así que no fue grave.

A basic hostel which does the job. Good location for the beach and the old town.

ostello situato in una buona posizione. adatto a chi viaggia da solo oppure con amici. staff cordiale. l'unica pecca è le docce fuori dalla camera

La localización es muy buena, se encuentra cerca de la estación de autobuses. Las instalaciones como el baño y la cocina no son tan limpias como debería ser para un lugar con tantos huéspedes ya que solo limpian una vez al día. La chica de la recepción que estuvo en el turno de la tarde no era para nada amable.

Jeg valgte dette hostel da det var sentralt og de reklamerte med vaskemaskin. Denne var opptatt i mange timer så jeg måtte finne annen plass. Ikke noe særlig oppholdsplass og wifi fungerte heller ikke.

This hostel is awful. No common area, only bar stools on which to eat food in the kitchen. The only other seating is your bed, which is far too small. I'm only 5'6 and my feet were hanging off the end. Beds are disgustingly unclean with yellow, stained sheets and foul smelling duvets. Showers fluctuate between hot and cold, so virtually impossible to use. No enclosed space to change in the bathroom - you step out the shower door and you can see the street and reception desk. Horrible. Room was very cold too, although they did give me another blanket. No plugs or lights by the beds or any other nice touches often found in hostels. The man on reception also played dance music loudly 24/7 so impossible to relax. The only good thing this place has is location, with it being close to the bus and train station.

Mi experiencia fue horrible, presumen seguir sus reglas al pie de la letra pegando anuncios en las paredes que debe de haber silencio después de las 11:00 pm y las personas encargadas del Hostal no hacen nada al respecto, llegaron unas personas en la madrugada borrachas y no respetan a las personas que estamos durmiendo. Además el chico Argentino de la recepción me faltó al respeto, jamás regresaré a ese hostal en mi vida

I had 3 nights in the hostel. From the out side it looks lovely but no. Next to a very busy rode, so traffic noise all night. Windows don't open for fresh air. Bathrooms only cleaned once a day, should be twice and rubbish under the beds. My mattress and pillow where in need of replacing, but so were all the bunk beds. not enough room for all the peoples gear. I also thought I had booked a female 4 bed dorm, it was not! And it's all way too expensive €33 per night, nothing included!

Friendly receptionist, but tiny, cramped anf stuffy dorm rooms with dirty bedsheets and bad wifi signal.
