Great

Everything great. I booked a 6 mix dorm and ended up being the only person in the room. I had sent a message to the staff asking if it were possible to have the lower bunk, and they were happy to answer and approve. The use of the kitchen was fine and the price / location and quality you get is fantastic

Great value in a wonderful location.

Fabulous location in the old town, a 30 minute walk from the main bus station. Very good price. I paid for a dorm space but was given a room all to myself. Large bedroom, spotlessly clean and with a decent en-suite bathroom. Plenty of storage space under each bunk. Not far to a myriad of charming, characterful tapas bars and eateries. Free bag storage on check-out until 1300 which suited my needs perfectly.

Its in the center in apparently very old building. I also loved that I was alone in whole room. The bathroom was very clean. The employee on the desk was very kind and helpful. I liked it here.

Top location in nightlife area

Great location. Lots of nightlife in that street. Convenient to see old city. Huge room, it was quiet, view to inner courtyard. Some people complained about mattresses. Well, this is a hostel, not 5-star hotel. Matresses were simple student-style but ok for me as a 63-year old guy. But maybe younger people are more sensitive.
