    Lack of staff and the check-in reading list that you have read and follow, otherwise you will get locked out. This place I think easily could get 10, but the hassle of instruction, I gave 9.

    Very clean, one of the better equipped, clean, beautiful view and location.

    Only stayed for a night! Must come back!

    Stunning view in the most perfect location. After walking the Camino, it was a jewel to find this place. The owner was the perfect host making me so welcomed. They even had vegan hot chocolate! Would come back for sure.

    It's not something I didn't like, but it can be a downside for those like me who travel by car, the only free carpark, is around 20 minutes away, and finding spaces is a nightmare. Overwise, you have a paid car park right in front of the hostel.

    The hostel is great. The beds are very comfy, and everything is clean. The staff is really nice. I don't know about the bedrooms facing the streets, but I had one on the opposite side, so no noise at all. Also a super nice touch from the hostel, they give you some earplugs. And there's an incredible view from the sitting room, facing the sea.

    Absolutely worth the money! The view! The atmosphere! The fluffiness of the huge towel provided! (I wish I could spend the entire day in the towel.) The communal space! The massage equipment provided (roller, tennis balls, yoga mats). This is everything a pilgrim needs to relax after a long day. And the receptionist was really lovely and helpful!

    Amazing stay in beautiful Gijón

    • Double Room with Sea View
    • Stayed 3 nights

    - No air con or fan in the room (at least we didn't find one) - Think we'll go for a room with a shower next time! - Parking convenient but expensive - Frustrating to not be able to hang up clothes to dry inside rooms - Slightly expensive for what it is - but I imagine the sea view contributes a lot to the price

    + The sea view from the room was FANTASTIC + EXCELLENT location + Very clean hostel + Very kind staff + Nice chilled, more "mature" vibe + Cool common room with seats towards the sea We would definitely return here! Gijón is a wonderful city!

    Quite expensive for a hostel. There was no air con/fans in our room and there was a bit of noise from outside the hostel one night as it’s on the main promenade.

    Amazing location and views, super clean, lots of attention to detail, chilled atmosphere. We liked that we could leave our bags there on the day we left too whilst we had a day on the beach.

    Noisy with windows open which meant the room was warm at night. For a hostel it’s on the pricy side.

    The hostel was clean, room had great view of the beach. It was a comfortable stay. Trendy shared area.
