    Didn't like the online check in, I was busy enough with preparations for the trip without an extra job, but the staff were flexible and check in was carried out on arrival.

    Our room was bright and clean. Staff were flexible and very helpful. The location is a stone's throw from the quiet Alcaravaneras beach, which has a view on to a port, and a 15 min walk from the lively Las Canteras beach. The busy shopping street Avenida Jose Mesa y Lopez is 10 mins by foot. Ruben's cafe on the ground floor (separate business) serves fantastic tortilla, I especially recommend the blood-sausage tortilla and Basque beer. There is a regular and cheap bus service on the main road (GC-1).

    We booked a room with our own shower/bathroom. Only negative was that the bathroom didn't have a real door, it has more like foldable screen, so you can hear when your partner is on the toilet.. Sometimes the other quests where being noisy so definately bring your earplugs with you so you can sleep, you can hear sounds from other rooms very easily. There is no AC, only a fan. We went there in November so it wasnt too hot, but I couldnt imagine staying there any other time when it's actually hot without the AC. All in all; if you arent too picky, it's a nice low budget option. If you arent used to low quality hostels, dont pick this one. We were statisfied with it, but we have had a lot better low quality hostels as well. Reception isnt always open, it has weird and very limited opening hours, but we were answered fast via whatsapp. Wifi doesnt work on the 3th floor at all, it seemed to work better on the 2nd floor.

    We always stay at low budget places. The place is very cheap, so don't expect high quality. Location is excellent, near beach, restaurants, bus, center. Room was cleaned once, we stayed 7 days. Room was OK and clean, quality is not high but satisfactory. Most of the rooms dont have a bathroom/shower, they have a shared bathroom/shower in each floor. Joined kitchen was ok (not many plates or utensils and people dont wash after themselves fast), the 4th floor balcony was nice.

    Not super clean, fluff on the floors in the corners, a few long hairs on the bed, same in the shared bathroom, but maybe to he expected in a hostel that has a high turn over and a wide variety of different guests. My room was a bit noisy, some guests don't give a s**t, a TV or radio was playing quite loud in one room till 3.00 in the morning, and guests dont talk they shout. I was next door to the toilet and the cistern was broken the water didn't shut off after a flush and was constantly running, in the end I turned off the supply tap.

    Easy to book in the moment, great for an emergency. Good location.

    My room was ok. For the money you can’t complain. The roof terrace was nice. At the end of the day it’s a hostel so you wld expect much. I’d stay again for sure.

    Clean rooms, clean bathrooms, close to the beach. The Hostel is also quiet at night so you can get a good night sleep. I also recommend going to the Gastro Bar underneath it. They have amazing food.

    There were for some reason almost no shelves in the sleeping pod. There was generally almost no place to put things of daily use. Most beds had a sort of side-pocket, but mine didn't. A small metal locker belonged to every bed but directly at the bed there was no shelf to put the small things. Another problem was that everyday there was a three-hour time window where everyone had to stay away from the hostel. So in case someone wants to just stay in the hostel the whole day, it's simply not possible. I have not experienced anything like this in any other hostel.

    The accomodation was very central, close to the beach and to lots of restaurants. There was also a terrace and a rooftop place with a nice view of the city. The hostel as such is visually quite appealing as it's in an old house that has been renovated and is now quite modern. So it has a lot of character.

    It does exactly what it says on the tin: nothing less, nothing more. Just don't expect comfort or a cheery neighbourhood. The lack of windows soon felt like a cell.

    It was clean. Not having a double bed crammed in made the compact space liveable (smart move). This particular room had very little street noise.

    The hallways are very dark. Had to use my phone torch to find light switches. The rooms are very small, & shower didn't work well. The kitchen has very little utensils. Had to use a glass to make a cup of coffee. Not worth £40 I paid.

    Lady on reception was very nice & helpful.
