    Sleeping in a cabin that could be closed with a blackout was much more comfortable than I initially expected. The privacy is truly adequate, providing a great experience.

    Obviously a popular place for years, seems that theyve taken their eye off the ball a bit. The lady prepping is obviously a previous pilgrim and id politely suggest she finish the camino. Got attitude as id arrived just after the check in time of 1 but she hadnt finished, not my issue. Mattresses and pillows which were plasticised are threadbare and need replacing. Maybe a place thats enjoyed past success and has lost sight of running a great hostel

    Convenient, clean

    The leanings only include the bottom sheet and the cover for the pillow, nothing else. The towel is minimalist and do not dry at all. They are disposable so I truly recommend to bring your own stuff

    Rooms were clean and the location is amazing

    The facility is dated. The matter was coverings are cracked and haven’t been replaced or refurbished. Almost all beds creak - despite being ‘pod’ style. There is no storage for larger backpacks, so hiking the Camino with full pack - it wasn’t my finest choice. Checking was supposed to be wholly electronic (via an ATM / machine in the wall) I arrived and found the proprietor unable to check someone in. I’d booked on booking and for some reason she phoned in my checkin and the machine spat out my key. No washing facilities that I was made aware of - this is more a travellers hostel than a hiking one.

    Location was good, albeit above a bar. Works for some. Not for me. It was a little loud till late. The bed was comfy, there was a blanket available. You get a bottom and top sheet, albeit paper; and a locker for small things. Each bed has a light and a privacy blind.

    While the location was nice during the day, at night the music was really loud and kept everyone awake. Additionally, the room was very warm at night.

    Everything was very clean and it was a nice location in the city.

    The street is filled with bars and partying, and noise goes on until 4 in the morning. The pods with the curtain down have no ventilation, so they become like a sauna over night.

    Didn’t like the location (should have checked more thoroughly before booking). It’s situated in a narrow street full of bars and it was extremely noisy all night (even with the windows closed) until about 4am - music banging out! It was even noisy turning over in bed!

    It was clean and the facilities were good

    The disposable bed sheets and pillow cases. I can see why the hostel choose to have the disposable sheets as its is very clean and hygenic and saves washing, but the experience of trying to sleep with with the paper sheet on top of you was impossible. I needed it as a barrier between me and the fluffy blanket (which couldn't have been very clean as im sure they arent washed between guests) and every time I tried to roll over the paper sheet slipped off and the fluffy blanket was touching me. The paper also didn't feel nice against my skin. I felt like I was on a table at a doctors surgery. The beds are also very creeky and the noise from the bar below is very loud. Both my boyfriend and I agreed it was our worst night sleep in our whole year that we had been travelling.

    The location is perfect. The hostel is really clean. Our possessions felt safe in the locker at the end of our bed. There was a small kitchen to be able to prepare some food if needed. Our check in process was smoothe. The price is very cheap, so while I do have a few negative things to say, I would say it is still okay value for money.

    Because of the very central location it was really loud. And the blankets were smelling REALLY bad. Time to wash them! I didn’t risk using them and slept in my sleeping bag

    The location is very convenient, the building is nice and clean, and it’s nice to have the “window blinds” to have some privacy

    The doior to my dorm was broken, so no security The wash basin was blocked Both not fixed The hostel is in a bar street with revelry into the early hours No electric kettle The beds were noisy to every movement There is almost no customer service whatsoever. The electronic check in, twice dus not work, no staff at the hostel,, so you have to go to the bar next door, to solve the problem. I sent two emails to the director, one Isabel Looez, no rely at all, still waiting The so called 24 hour help line, does answer their phone Totally poor service and so unprofessional

    A,plethora of toikets/showers A large, well appointed kitchen and common area The dorm beds had roller blinds, a lockable cupboard and fluorescent lighting

    The beds and framework of the pods do a lot of noise. The machine at the entrance did not work properly. There is a bar in the same building that had music until 00h. Also there is only one bathoroom for a room that can have 12 people.

    Excellent location. The pods give privacy that is good. I think it is perfect for a single night. I went in October.

    Lots of noise and nowhere to put packs—packs were all over the place in the isles. Also the beds were very squeaky-when someone would turn, you’d hear the bunk make noise.

    Nice location. Nice kitchen, nice gathering room
