    The staff were very friendly. The complimentary breakfast of cereal, toast, tea, coffee and orange juice was enough for me. Kitchen facilities were good so if you wanted to sort out a fried breakfast or another option, you could do so yourself. The hostel having a bar downstairs was an added bonus. Rooms were clean and functional and as expected for the price.

    Nothing I didn't like.

    As a hostel - fantastic

    Bedside USB didn’t work but another one in the room did so didn’t really matter

    Location, staff and overall organisation were all fine. Bear in mind that this was my first hostel stay in about 15 years but I felt it was all satisfactory. The parcel locker style of cupboard for left luggage is a nice touch although I didn't use it. There were lights in the right places at the beds. When I left at 5:30, the person at reception really was awake and ready to have me checkout. The noise didn't keep me awake and the open mic in the bar was just lovely. It was the cheapest hostel available that night and I don't think it could be much better. But god almighty hostels got expensive over the years....

    The room was boiling hot even though it was cool summers day, the window was open all day and the sun wasn't shining on our window. Even at 2AM I was sweating. It was not nice

    The place was great, the staff was great, there would be great concerts many times a week and everything you need is just nearby. I highly recommend it :)

    Good location, sports, music and beer. Staff friendly enough and tell you where to go.

    Air c9n units outside the bedroom windows making a racket but rooms don't have air con. Have to have the window open as it was too hot.

    A very good location, close to the train station and bus stops for organised day trips. The room and bathroom are clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable. The staff is friendly, and luggage storage is available before check-in and after check-out for free. The property has a large kitchen where you can prepare meals, and there are also refrigerators. Next to the kitchen is a large room where you can eat or relax.

    Breakfast is very basic, with only sweet options. If you get a room on the street, it's noisy from the morning because of the road traffic.

    The hostel is served also with a bar, so it was nice having a beer before going upstairs. The room was clean and people around were really respectful and silent.

    It was nice having the bathroom inside the room and shared only with the roommates, but the door was broken, so it was a little bit annoying because I was worried that someone could get in while I was there

    Location ok.

    They had hidden costs. I asked in check in if there is lockers. They said they have boxes and lockes available with 5€ deposit. I did not necessarily needed it as not anything valuable in my bag. Still took it. Next morning checked out. A lady in the reception gave only 3€ back, I asked where is 2€. She said they have policy of hovinarreja only 3€ back. I dont know is it true or not but no-one told this beforehand. I think the booking site should have standard of hotels/hostels, they will not scam customers.
