“Great little place”
Breakfast - limited options but great that it was included for free Room - spotlessly clean and spacious Outside area - lovely little courtyard space Location - absolutely perfect location next to the beautiful river Staff - friendly but not always very attentive - we had to wait for quite a while at reception after pressing the bell multiple times & most only speak Spanish

Super nice place, very kind and helpful staff! Shower/toilet cabins were modern and clean. Perfect location at the bottom of the ancient city center, but also near supermarkets. Overall incredible for what you pay!

“Great stay especially for that price!”
Great hosts! So friendly and helpful and the whole hostel is really really clean! As they spread everybody over all the shared bedrooms, I had 2 of 3 nights a room to myself. Thanks so much for a great stay!

“I can definitely recommend Green River Hostel. An amazing experience!”
My family and I stayed at Green River Hostel for a few days during the New Year holidays. The family room was very comfortable and quiet, as was the entire hostel. Breakfast, a coffee machine, a microwave, and dishes in the common area are very important and pleasant additions that make your stay even more comfortable.

“Cheap and cheerful place to stay with character!”
My room had a superb view of the historic part of the city and one night out of two on a weekend night in peak season, I had the 6 bed dorm to myself!

Great location, walkable to everything! The included breakfast is nice to have, and it's a friendly little place, with some Enflish spoken by staff. The toilets and showers are all completely enclosed, rather than a line of stalls, and the lockers under the beds are good and robust, though you'll need your own lock.
