On my first morning the breakfast was a buffet( chorizos, jamon de Teruel, cheese, etc) ... then the next day it was just one plate ... still a hefty one though .. unlimited coffee. The Albergue reminded me of accomodations on the Camino de Santiago... fellow travellers are friendly and approachable but some travellers might need space so this is not the place to stay if you want to have your own 'space' . Bathrooms are also common along the corridor . Albarracin is also only accessible by car . I drove all the way from the south of France to Albarracin . It was long so the 1st night I stayed at Zaragoza (check out my review of Hotel Sauce) . There are no direct train lines nor did I see any buses at the parking lots ... just cars . So I'd imagine it would be difficult for someone who doesn't drive to get there.

The location was perfect since the Albergue was in the middle of the medieval walled city with great views from the windows . I only paid 23 euros a night for a bunk bed and it included a free breakfast. I went to Albarracin on a bouldering climbing trip . The boulders were a 5 to 8 minute drive from the city centre. There is a climbing shop just outside of town on the way to the bouldering site where you can rent crash pads ( sofa boulder ) and buy chalk, chalk bags, brushes, climbing shoes etc . On my first night there was also a free concert featuring a Galician folk band on the main plaza of the town . Had quite a few drinks that night so I had to lower my expectations on 'sending' my routes on the boulders the next day . As to the bouldering .... I am really a sport climber who prefers to climb with ropes outside and when I do boulder it's usually indoors . I like climbing alone in our local gym using the auto belay system ... so I when I was in Albarracin I was looking for low ball problems that have zero risk of serious injury ( V0's to V2's ) .. I think it's better to come with your usual belay partner ( if you want to climb hard ) to spot you here . I came alone but I bumped into a Canadian couple and a Polish climber ... my Spanish isn't that good so it was a blessing to find these three .........and we shared crash pads and beta . As for the Albergue, it's good value for money . 23 euros with a breakfast buffet ( 1st day) and there is a free parking near the cementary which is a 2 minute walk to the Albergue . There is also a quaint restaurant / bar just above the Albergue . It's called : la paroquia (the parish) or something where they serve local dishes ... I had 'la cierva' ( deer from the mountains of Albarracin) as my last meal.

A slight stench of mould or humidity in the lower floor (where the rooms and the toilets are located), I guess because of the age of the medieval building. Unfortunately there is no heating system in the room or the bathroom (no problem for sleeping, I was well covered with a double layer of covers; but exiting the shower was more challenging). Slight problems compared to the beauty of the location in this pictoresque town!

Position really excellent, in a historic building in the middle of old Albarracín (with some stunning views of the fortified town). From the hostel you can reach any turistic place just by walking. Staff very friendly and good breakfast. Though I booked for a shared 8 bunkbed room, I was the only guest, so the room was all for myself.

So much time the TV was on in the dining room, unnecessarily since nobody was watching it.

Staff were very kind and attentive. Breakfast very complete.

The beds are not super comfy and for 25 euro a night...it just seems a little steep for what you get. also the showers are like 150% water pressure, and either super hot or super cold. Not really surprising given age of building.

Location was good, provided free breakfast which was tasty but limited. People that stayed there were super sweet. the people running the building were also nice.

Exceptionally clean, central.

Bed was uncomfortable. In toilets, showers are with toilets so there is no privacy.

Near to there there is an autopark. It is clean. Staff is polite

It would have been nice to have an area to spend time besides the dorm room. Even being able to utilize the dining area with tables and chairs would have been nice since the rainy weather made it necessary to spend more time in the hostal than I normally would have.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. As it was a little cold outside, I really appreciated the warm blankets. The dorms were not crowded as I have seen in other hostels. The breakfast was excellent.

No WiFi and no lockers that you can lock.

Great staff, very clean, good breakfast, lovely view.
