Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location. Beds nice and big with bathrooms in each room, plus ones outside. Having the door on your cabin really helps. Great hostel and value for money when you compare to other places.

    This is a lovely hostel close to a chair lifts that brings you up and down to the town. It was very clean, good showers and very comfortable beds. I was a female on my own and I felt very safe here. It was great to chat to others to get information about skiing in the area. I enjoyed my stay and would stay again.

    + clean and cozy room + close to the telesieges that take you down to the main square + cheapish price compared to the other hotels + if you dont need sth fancy and just want a place to sleep during a short stay for wintersports and you're on a tight budget, this place could be great

    really good place, friendly staff but the rooms weren’t perfect. It’s a hostel in the Sierra Nevada village so we were happy that we could sleep so cheap. We bought the all you can eat diner also, the broccoli was a bit cold but the rest of the food was good. would definitely recommend.
