    Honestly the only thing the hostel needs is better wifi. They clearly have bought wifi that serves a family of 4 and doesn’t have the range and speed for multiple guests. They get this sorted and they’d get a 10 from me!

    A superb hostel, every thing is incredible. Even fine details such as storage, ear plugs and towels makes all the difference. Beautifully renovated as well!

    Registration process was challenging at the time as was not aware of requirement before turning up at front door. And others found themselves in the same situation.

    Can't comment on staff as never saw anyone. Remote registration all done by email which was a bit difficult as I don't check emails while walking all day. So found myself at the front door unable to get in. However once resolved, all was great. Love the decor, fabulous facilities, comfortable, super clean, excellent bathrooms, bunks comfortable & even towels provided. Also tea & coffee & milk included.This is a hostel which goes above & beyond to do it well. Much appreciated.

    The only inconvenience was that it had only one toilet and one shower (at least I didn't see others), so more than 4 people should share them

    I liked the view from the hostel. It was amazing! The location is great! The room was comfortable and clean, the bathroom as well

    Amazing location right across the street from the beach. Easy online check in (off-season), very responsive hosts via email, easy to find and get into the building. Stayed in a solo room with a large window overlooking the beach. Everything is very clean, well designed, and incredibly comfortable. Washer and dryer in the kitchen (for a small fee) is a big plus. Large communal kitchen is very clean. Nice common area with a view of the ocean as well. Highly recommend.

    It was very noisy - people where very loud on the street until 4 a.m even. But it is not affected by hotel of course.

    Comfortable rooms, beautiful view. We liked everything about the hostel.

    This is one of the best hostel I stayed in in Spain, the staff are super helpfull and kind, always smiling and friendly, and the hostel it self is super clean and cozy! there is a living room with a beautiful view to the sea and also from some of the rooms. the atmosphere is calming and relaxing, not a party hostel (I was walking the Camino so was very important to me) I was supposed to stay only for one night and stayed much longer, this place feels like home :) dont think twice and book! maya

    They have no staff (only 14-17) so lack of human touch especially at check-in. One consequence is: if you arrive before 14:99 or leave late no possibility to drop or leave your luggage whatsoever. I had a flight at 21:30 (check-out day) and had to pick up my bag at 16:45 and carry it

    Clean, comfy, quiet, free coffee & teas, AMAZING location and view, good common areas.
