Everything about my stay here was average: cleanliness, friendliness, breakfast foods, Internet access...while all present, nothing proved to be excellent other than the location.

Stayed here over spring break in one of the 12 bed dorm style rooms (2 people). There were lockers in the room (bring your own lock, or you can rent one from them). The beds were comfortable, the place was very clean and all of the staff were very friendly. They provided breakfast in the morning, and we never had... More

I met wonderful people, however the curfew's and kitchen rules allowed for little freedom at the hostel itself. If you're looking to have a place to hang out after the evening has ended, this hostel essentially would not be the place. It is literally a place to sleep. Which of course, is what a hostel is for, but if you're... More

I got the feeling while at the hostel that I was part of something. I only spent two nights here but by the first morning the receptionist already knew me by name (and it was not the same one that checked me in the night before). Indeed some of the people I met there were repeat customers who like the... More

This was our first stop of a 2 month backpacking journey. We came here jetlagged and tired and the hostel provided us with much comfort. The beds were very comfortable and each room had a balcony so there was a breeze. Each bed also had it's own light, which was nice for reading. The hostel was located in the center... More

Stayed in 6 bed dorm. You may have to buy a lock there. The lockers were big but my lock was too small. Friendly staff but was dissapointed there were no activites organized by hostel. The only thing I did not like that there is nobody on duty from Midnight to 8am so if you have a problem with you... More

The best experience I've ever had in a youth hostel: central position, nice people at the reception, and a marvellous atmosphere! people meet at los amigos and go out together!! So nice! Clean and nice rooms, a mad living room with music and books.. The best solution for friends who want to find friends! Really friendly atmosphere. Closed to the... More

Location is great, near Opera, near Sol, near Plaza Mayor. But the building is a bit hard to find. No 26 consists of several buildings together. So, the door next to no 24 isn't 26. Look very carefully. Located on the 4th floor makes the room quiet, but still accessible. However, it is too quiet and unlike what is described... More
