    The plastic plants around hostel were so unpleasant.

    I liked the ambient and the positions of beds.

    Sheets are provided but not towels, including there being no handtowels in the dorm room. The private dorm bathroom is not a separate room, meaning the shower and sink are open to the rest of the room. So, there is less privacy and more noise from other guests.

    The location is convenient for exploring the city and the decor is cute and comfy. It was not staffed in person but there were good instructions around the common areas.

    At night the area is not safe. Someone attempted to rob me right outside the entrance to the hostel.

    The location is central for visiting the history city.

    The area where the hostel is located is in the center of Zaragoza but it is not safe, especially for a girl traveling alone. During the day it is possible to go around, in the evening or at night it is better not to be alone

    The bed are good The common area is pretty

    No staff available so kind of difficult to deal with special requests. A few girls commented that for them the location was not the best. I assume for any girl during the night could be really scary..

    Good location, close to many shops and close to the center of the town as well. Easy to be found. Helpful information regarding laundry services and the bus timetable to airport. Mattress was very good, I really enjoyed my sleep.

    The position doesn't feel super safe. The automatic light in the room is a little annoying because it turns on and off when you would prefer not to. The kitchen is very tiny and could be improved.

    The hostel is very nice, the common is very useful to meet people and make new friends. Super clean and it is quite close to the main touristic attractions. The staff is nice. Good price-quality

    Although I liked the hostel and the location, it has serious problems that have already been mentioned in other reviews... The automatic light in the room is a nightmare. There are nights when the noise from the street is very annoying. The neighborhood can give the feeling of... complicated...

    The hostel is really nice, and small but everything is new, clean, and in place. Walking distance to everything. A small full-equiped kitchen. Bed was big and *comfy(except for room light). Every morning they clean everything (They can't do anything if other guests are dirty or careless after the cleaning) Friendly and helpful staff. Ask them for recommendations. Fav place for breakfast Bore Cafe, for tapas and atmosphere El Tubo (after 7pm, specially weekends). Avoid paella, they don't know how to cook it there.

    Just a little things, no reason to not stay here.....at least a little shelf in the shower would be nice, to put soap, shaving cream, etc ...also I am sure you had your reasons....but automatic tap water ( which runs destined time after turned on) is not really a practical choice, I think water runs often too long for no reason, also in the night, after you wash your hands, whole room has to listen water running until it finally stops....but overall really nice place to stay

    Really amazing location, clean, equipped kitchen, entry by code was practical as I didnt need to care about loosing a keycard, bed with individual lights, with dark curtains that allowed you privacy and sleep when you wanted, definitelly recommend for stay

    The hostel rooms do get a bit warm and there were no instructions provided to change temperature or to make it cooler(if any). The host mentions paid parking is available but the parking garage is at least 10-15 min walk.

    Clean hostel, detailed instructions provided by the host. Good value for money.

    Public are super small!!! Lukily the place wasn't fully packed and luckily people didn't make a lit of noise. But- i needed to work. So when someone speaks, it's heard all over the small room. Also- kitchen is a bit too small. for 3 people to prepare food at the same time- can be crowded. So again, if the place is not fully or half booked by guests, than great place. The area is in an alley that can be a bit not friendly for someone who is afraid at night.. people wise and feeling of unsafe. But- this section of walk lasts 3 minute. No area for smoke. Shower in the room- no private space to get dress and put your stuff. So you need to improvise

    They provide like liner so you can get into and sleep inside. Its noticeable that sheets aren't replaced often. Staff- nice. 1 receptionist. Loved that they don't crowd people inside a room. Only me plus another traveler in a mixed6 or 8 beds. 3 nights. Shower and toilet inside the room and 1 toilet in the ground-public area. Soap, shampoo- available.

    At first look the area seemed like it might be a bit unsafe. I stayed for 4 nights and felt completely safe on the streets. Also at evening time!

    Noise: they have metal stairs, which can successfully wake people up anytime during night - ways to sleep at night can be 1) pray hard at the Basilica to let you pass out at night 2) drink a bottle of wine 3)walk 9am-9pm tirelessly. If none of these are working, move out to another place to stay. Room - beautifully decorated "inconveniently." I moved the artificial plants on the floor to have room to place a book and others. BTW, only hope they know that a recent study shows that artificial plants become cancerous after 1 year of usage Bed - I couldn't feel much issues at the beginning but ended up with terrible back pain. Interestingly, another person met at the kitchen complained the same. (The pain improved after moving out to another place...yes, I moved out) Staff - very friendly for 5 mins (or maybe less than this). It is not hard to see their feeling of annoyance when questioned more than a couple of times. Surrounding - very interesting to have urine smell everywhere. Felt like I was walking in a huge toilet

    Location : Stroll away from a bus stop (though bus drivers are not greatly friendly, in fact, quite wild. However, that was fine for me. It was inexpensive but convenient way to get there from a train station). There are several decent markets nearby as well. Mercadona at Plaza santo (400m away) and Mercado central de Zaragoza (850m: highly recommend for quality meat products including processed meats and fruits) Facility : they have a kitchen. I know some people don't like their kitchen, but I was happy with even with that. They have toaster, elec.kettle, microwave oven, air fryer and others. (Someone spoke about "coffee maker" to let all people get confused and searched for that. But, they did NOT have a coffee maker bit elec. Kettle only.) Room: initially clean but not cleaned at all during 3 nights of stay. Room - beautifully decorated Staff - very friendly

    The vibe in the hostel is not the best. It's so really welcoming and there are not many activities. Some of the staff members are really not helpful or nice Sometimes I felt a bit uncomfortable in the neighborhood as a woman.

    Close to the center and the Aljaferia, which was nice. Some of the staff were really nice and were trying to help. In general it was good.

    The 6 bed dorm felt like a prison cell. The WC and shower are INSIDE the tiny dorm room. Would recommend the 12 bed dorm instead, which is far better.
