    It is better to have several English books in the open area.

    Good environment, strong bed, not much shaking when climb up and down, and good staff.

    This place was beyond my expectations First of all, very clean! So quiet! So friendly and welcoming The kitchen is wonderfully equipped and spacious So comfortable and you even get coffee and tea on the house The staff was amazing I had a problem with the heating but the girl who worked at the reception truly gave her best to help me out and even brought some super warm and cozy blankets The location is wonderful City center 10min on foot from every corner of Zaragoza Huge supermarkets near by You won’t regret a second

    Nothing.

    The staff stands out by their sympathy and empathy and particularly I have to say "thanks" to Claudia who helped a lot when I made.mistake over the booking. I will definitely keep looking them up in terms of reservations in Zaragoza.

    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 5 nights

    Soundproofing is poor between rooms, and the metal staircase is uncarpeted so noisy. The beds did not have mattress protectors and I found some significant yellow stains as I left. The air vents were dusty and occasionally smelled a bit funny. The windows in my interior room facing the inner courtyard could not be opened for fresh air.

    The staff were friendly and kindly helped me change rooms due to a problem with my AC unit. The kitchen is well-equipped with appliances. The hostel is well-located: only a 10min walk to the city centre, 2min to bus stops, and 5min to corner shops and laundromats. The area feels fairly safe. I highly recommend the free walking tour, our guide Diego was great.

    Amazing hostel, beautifully designed throughout, free coffee (!), real plants in the common area, comfortable bed & light-blocking curtains. Also, some kind of forest-like air freshener, perhaps essential oil diffused.

    I had booked a 6 bed female dorm but they put me in a 12 bed mixed dorm. They moved me after I told them they put me in the wrong room, but I don’t know why this had happened. There are curtains on the beds, but they don’t close all the way. The lockers under the bed are small and the doors did not shut all the way. The room was very small and cramped. If you have a bed in the corner only one person could be using the lockers at a time. The lights in the room are automatic so anytime someone moved they would turn on, which was difficult at night when people came back late. There was no door to the bathroom area, only a sink and one toilet stall and one shower stall. The door to the toilet did not lock

    The common area and kitchen access were nice. Was on a quiet street but walkable to the old town

    Spiteful woman welcomed me at my arrival, the evening of August 24/2023. Out of the countless hostels I’ve visited in the 41 countries I’ve traveled to, never I have met a person so hateful. Just plain bad. She even denied to rent me a towel after I’ve been traveling for 4 hours from Madrid and I really needed to clean myself. Also as others commented in here, it’s true there are a lot of drugs dealers and sketchy people right next to the hostel. Many live in the same street the hostel is located at. If you’re a woman I wouldn’t advise to go outside after dark. I was able to do it because a couple of guys staying at the hostel walked with me in the dark and rough allies and I was starving. Even though the customer service was beyond awful and the facilities about a 2 out of a 10. I’m very thankful I had a roof over my head and a bed to crash for the two nights I stayed, Pablo, the gentleman who answered my call was very polite and helpful. I didn’t see him at all though. I advise to other travelers to spend a bit more in a well rated hotel so then you have yourself a nice stay in Zaragoza because it’s truly a nice city. P.s. To the unhappy woman in reception, I pray to god, your life gets better. Only people who are very unhappy can treat others the way you treat people. ( I said people) because as soon as you left I met two germans in the common area who also complaint about your treatment towards them. May god send happiness to you and yours. Be well ms.

    They assigned my bed to someone else and I was woken up in the middle of my nap. Also, it was summer and they turned off the a/c in the middle of the night. Mirror in the toilet was broken, ran out of o toilet paper.

    Location. Close to all major attractions. Bed was comfortable.

    -The place was close to all the main attractions. -The girl working at reception was super kind and helpful. She informed me that on Sundays some museums can be visited for free. - I was allowed to leave my luggage before checking in and after checking out at no extra cost. -The room was clean and spacious enough. -There was soap and shampoo. -Under the beds there was a locker for personal belongings. -Fast wifi.

    The automatic light in the bedroom. The reception hours from 10 am to 8pm, you can't leave your luggage before or after this time, and you can't also stay after 8pm in the hostel once you check-out.

    The bed with a curtain. The situation close to the city center and 30-min walk from the train station.

    I arrived by bus from Barcelona at approximately 11:15 pm. I coordinated with the hostel ahead of time. The night clerk was drinking wine & half inebriated! I waited outside the door for 30 minutes trying to get inside. The clerk's English was poor & not as advertised. I would fire the guy immediately!

    Not much - a terrible experience!
