    Nothing really for the price location etc.

    Lovely location. Cosy reception and cool canteen kitchen set up. All staff were friendly. Created by a very friendly guy at 2am for late check in which set the tone for the whole holiday. He was super lovely. Guy with glasses and black hair. Didn’t catch his name but he’s as nice as it gets

    The room was pretty small, and due to seeing some of those double rooms' pics on the site and expecting it, I asked for one with a view (if possible). Unfortunately our window faced another building's wall, so the slightly claustrophobic effect wasn't abated ;) the adjacent bathroom was unnecessarily big in comparison, which added to the feeling of having not much space in the room itself. The elevator was pretty slow, and a bit wobbly - the door didn't close all the way, and I'm not sure how much longer they'll serve without being replaced :D... But in a grand scheme of things - those were minor drawbacks in a place that is supposed to be budget-friendly, and despite these, offered a really good value for money.

    It was a positive surprise that a hostel offered private double rooms :) the staff was amazingly friendly and easy to communicate with in multiple languages. After the check-out, it's not a problem to leave ones bags in a luggage room and do some more sightseeing, if one leaves the city later in the afternoon. Wi-fi worked with no issues, and the bed was very comfy. The breakfast was a pretty basic one, but for that price - nothing to complain about ;) The location was perfect, really close to the strict center, as well as Turia gardens. The ambience in the hostel was cozy and multicultural - saw quite some solo travelers, and I think it's a good spot to make friends, if someone travels in that manner.

    Noisy roommates. Maybe some more signs to encourage people to organise themselves before midnight. Lockers under the bunks were incredibly noisy, even for the most considerate of roommates.

    As described. Probs a little better actually. Staff were great, really friendly and accommodating. Facilities were great. Location was exceptional. It was clean and the vibe was nice - lots of diversity. The walking tour was highlight of my whole trip. The guides were great and super knowledgeable.

    The elevator was out and our room was on the top floor! They were very apologetic, but man, that was a lot of stairs.

    The staff were all extremely helpful, they helped us with bus routes to visit the beach, gave us tips about which beaches were best, and the schedule of the Fallas festivities.

    The washrooms "feel" unhygienic. I know the staff cleans them everyday. But it still "looks/feels" unhygienic, especially the men's washroom.

    Amazing 4-day stay in Purple Nest Hostel Valencia

    The toilets had a couple of minor issues, like poor lighting or doors that did not lock. I had an unpleasant experience: in the middle of the night, I went to the bathroom just to find an older man smoking in the toilets with loud music on and windows closed. It was weird and scary. Luckily it occurred just once. The kitchen and the kitchenware could be improved, but they are fine.

    The position of the hostel, very close both to the city center and the metro station. The availability of the staff 24/7 and their friendliness. The cleanliness of the rooms and the common area.

    6th floor and few steps closer to an amazing view

    • Superior Double Room with Terrace and Shared Bathroom
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    The shared toilet doesn't have a lock, they are wrongly placed, since it can't lock or hold the door. We had to improvise and use the "do not disturb" card at the door. The walls are quite thin so noise from others is quite easy to hear, but it didn't disturb much. Not sure when started, but the elevator goes till 4th floor due technical issues, so be mindful that you will have to go up 2 levels by foot, nothing too crazy but worth mentioning cause when we arrived the elevator didn't have this info tagged, but when we left they tried to provide these details (again, amazing staff).

    The room is cosy, the terrace gave us the view, the vibe, the option to have our private breakfasts and spot sunrises. The view there is definitely a plus for this accommodation. The staff was so helpful, we had to print our ticket flights and they did it without extra costs, they were there 24/7 for whatever you need, also all of them are super friendly and make your stay comfortable.

    Since it is a hostel keep in mind that it might be noisy, taken into consideration the building itself. So if you are a "sensible sleeper' if would not recommend it. I had no issues and slept well. Personal preference: the toilet paper could be a little bit firmer.

    Great location for our visit, close to metro, and walking distance from our points of interest. The room was nice for a double room in a hostel. The water pressure was good and the towels were clean.

    Old house with nice high ceilings, and co working room.

    Its one of the best hostels honestly! I have to give them a huuge minus for not accepting cash though. But other than that. Very good. Has kitchen, co working space, and all of it is in a very nice old building. Its more like 9/10 if not for the cash thing.

    Some staff weren't that friendly. One was particularly rude when informing guests that the kitchen and communal area would promptly be closing, at 11pm. I was originally told there was no freezer, where all I had wanted to do was store some ice blocks to keep medication cold on my onwards travels - only later to be told there was one. This unnecessary issue was therefore resolved.

    The standard of the hostel matched the price. There was a large kitchen which was well-equipped and for the most part kept clean. The communal area was welcoming with a diversity of different guests, ages etc. It looked like there was a good spread for breakfast too. Great location, very central considering the price.

    The room was really small, however you only go to sleep there.

    I booked this knowing I will only sleep there and take a shower. Which perfectly fulfiled this purpose. The hostel offers also some activities - like bar crawl or beerpong. There is a small common area which is nice. There was also a possibility of a breakfast. There is enough of showers in the bathroom and the staff is really friendly and helpful. Of course you can't expect something luxury as it is a hostel :)
