Most of the rooms located in this refurbished factory are equipped with a private bathroom and a personal locker. Every bunk bed comes with a night light, a shelf and USB connector. Bed linen is provided.

I liked that there was a little place off the room that was like a small open courtyard. I liked that there were ample bathrooms and lots of space despite how many beds there were for people. Lots of privacy for showers and bathroom.

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.

    It’s in a convenient location (e.g. close to the bus station, walkable distance to Guggenheim museum, shopping district, old town). Pretty good for a budget hotel. My room didn’t come with a boiler or safe box. You can ask for hair dryer and iron at the counter. The staff, especially Jabier, was friendly and helpful.
