Español El personal fue siempre muy amable, pero mi experiencia no fue positiva. Me asignaron una habitación mixta de 16 camas en la que era la única mujer. Los camarotes estaban demasiado juntos, sin separadores ni cortinas, y no había un lugar seguro para dejar el equipaje, solo en la recepción en un piso diferente. Llegué de noche y no tuve opción de cambiar de lugar, pero no me sentí segura. English The staff was very kind and helpful, but my overall experience was not positive. I was assigned to a 16-bed mixed dorm where I was the only woman. The bunks were extremely close together, with no dividers or curtains, and there was no secure place to store luggage other than the reception on a different floor. I arrived late at night and couldn’t change hostels, but I didn’t feel safe.

Horrible, el lugar olía mal, la ropa de cama y la almohada estaba sucia, me robaron pertenencias de mi cama. Parece más un hospital que un hostel, hay muchas personas mayores en mal estado o que parecen estar enfermas.

Best low cost hostel in all of Spain

Excelente relacion calidad/precio. Hostel muy limpio y muy bién regentado por John y el resto de los empleados. Los colchones NO son de aire y son supercomodos. Taquillas amplias, y guardamaletas gratis. A 10 minutos en bus a plaza mayor, y justo enfrente el centro comercial. Les doy un 10 porque no hay un rating mas alto! Gracias mil a los empleados, que han sido super amables y buenos profesionales en todo momento 😎
