    Noise: they have metal stairs, which can successfully wake people up anytime during night - ways to sleep at night can be 1) pray hard at the Basilica to let you pass out at night 2) drink a bottle of wine 3)walk 9am-9pm tirelessly. If none of these are working, move out to another place to stay. Room - beautifully decorated "inconveniently." I moved the artificial plants on the floor to have room to place a book and others. BTW, only hope they know that a recent study shows that artificial plants become cancerous after 1 year of usage Bed - I couldn't feel much issues at the beginning but ended up with terrible back pain. Interestingly, another person met at the kitchen complained the same. (The pain improved after moving out to another place...yes, I moved out) Staff - very friendly for 5 mins (or maybe less than this). It is not hard to see their feeling of annoyance when questioned more than a couple of times. Surrounding - very interesting to have urine smell everywhere. Felt like I was walking in a huge toilet

    Location : Stroll away from a bus stop (though bus drivers are not greatly friendly, in fact, quite wild. However, that was fine for me. It was inexpensive but convenient way to get there from a train station). There are several decent markets nearby as well. Mercadona at Plaza santo (400m away) and Mercado central de Zaragoza (850m: highly recommend for quality meat products including processed meats and fruits) Facility : they have a kitchen. I know some people don't like their kitchen, but I was happy with even with that. They have toaster, elec.kettle, microwave oven, air fryer and others. (Someone spoke about "coffee maker" to let all people get confused and searched for that. But, they did NOT have a coffee maker bit elec. Kettle only.) Room: initially clean but not cleaned at all during 3 nights of stay. Room - beautifully decorated Staff - very friendly

    The vibe in the hostel is not the best. It's so really welcoming and there are not many activities. Some of the staff members are really not helpful or nice Sometimes I felt a bit uncomfortable in the neighborhood as a woman.

    Close to the center and the Aljaferia, which was nice. Some of the staff were really nice and were trying to help. In general it was good.

    The 6 bed dorm felt like a prison cell. The WC and shower are INSIDE the tiny dorm room. Would recommend the 12 bed dorm instead, which is far better.

    The street in which the hostel is located is a bit shady but no harm will come if you mind your own business. No one will try to bother you. The problem is that physical reception is from 10 AM and if you have rented anything like a towel/padlock etc. then either you have to wait for the person to arrive at reception before you check-out or you can forget getting the money back and check-out yourself.

    The hostel atmosphere was good. The room/bathroom both were clean. Comfortable for staying. The hostel is near the bus stop.

    It's a little bit out & Google Maps didn't work great for me the whole time I was in Zaragoza. So took a while to find. Automatic lights in bedroom clicking on even when someone moves in the bed. Maybe a bit of soft music in the kitchen would increase the atmosphere.

    Very Clean. Decorated lovely in fresh green tones - makes a change from a lot of loudly garnished Hostels. There was a lift.

    The beds aren’t super comfortable but they did for the two nights. The Kicthen needs more equipment, I went and did a shop for food only to discover that there wasn’t even a stove top to cook but for some reason has 5 toasters.. a airfryer and two sandwiches presses. It needs more love.

    It was a close enough location to the centre, it’s also easy to reach by public transport with good local bars surrounding the area

    The area can be intimidating at night although I didn't have any bad experiences. There is rubbish on the streets locally. No 24 hour reception means arriving late as a single traveller is not pleasant. When the staff were there, they were lovely, but they are only available 10am to 8pm, which is the time you're likely to be out anyway...

    Very pleasant place with good kitchen and lounge. Decent facilities in the dormitory. Fantastic bakery in the same street.

    The toilets and showers inside the room. The main light in the room was constantly on, as is a movement sensor light, but it's too bright and , at night, it was very disturbing.

    I should say that last year I stayed as well at the hostel for 3 nights. I feel that the customer service has changed for worse. The young girl at the reception is just correct, no giving more help or longer answers than needed out of the check-in or check-out. She sent me to another hotel to keep my luggage for some hours after checkout and when I asked her if I was still on time to get my free coffee (I arrived late previous night) she said I could ask in the other hotel.

    I like that is a brand new hostel, well designed, cozy and very well located. Rooms aren’t noisy at all and is very clean.

    Not much. The street it's on can be a little dark at night but that's not too big a deal.

    It was clean and well organised. Had a private room - had everything we needed. Nicely central - walking distance to everything. Also convenient for connections to the train & bus stations. Very modern.
