I liked the location. Some bunk beds can be quite noisy, this one was alright. The toilet is also ok. They provide a key for the room locker, which is great if you don't have any

“Lovely hostel”
The hostel owner Carmen, was so welcoming - we appreciated it! The hostel is right next to the funicular station in the old town, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was easy to walk to everything in the old town, which is beautiful, and parking was nearby in the underground car park.

“Optimal for a short term stay, sweet and cosy”
I paid around 26€ for one night with an additional 3,50€ for taxes and 1€ for a towel. The hostel is super sweet and the visitors were all pretty nice. The staff members were very friendly and forthcoming. Rooms were nice and living area was comfy too.
