There was a creepy guy staying up on the terrace who stayed in the hostel for a few nights but then checked out and was living on the roof!! He harassed both my girlfriends and mumbled some stuff to me. We told the staff twice and they still did not get rid of him so they deserve this review.... more There was a creepy guy staying up on the terrace who stayed in the hostel for a few nights but then checked out and was living on the roof!!

I can't say much else about the place because having some weirdo around kind of killed it.close

Really liked this hostel. Well situated just on the out skirts of the city. Walking distance to everything as well as the bus terminal and trains. Very clean and tidy and pretty flash too.

Over all, this was a great hostel. Although a bit of a walk from the station, the directions are great and its really only two streets. The kitchen was great and the computers were really nice, if you get a chance, check out the rooftop terrace, nice.

Location is very good, can walk to the famous sight in the city. The staff is nice and helpful. The bathroom in 4 female dorm is big. There are 3 computers for usage and there is also a time limitation, so do not need to wait so long.

The room we stayed in has got bed bugs! Myself and my boyfriend are covered in bites. We stayed in room 3 on the first floor and we both think you shouldn't rent out this room to guests!! The rest of the hostel was fine but cleanliness was very very poor after we found out we had bed bugs!

This is one of the cleanest and most organised places I've ever stayed in. The location is fantastic, you are a ten minute walk from The Cathedral, The Alcazar or Plaza de Espana. I was really ill at one point and the staff were brilliant. Thank you Samay.

It seems that security is priority at the hotel. Nice kitchen and very specious bathrooms in both dorms I steyd. And, of course, on top of all above- a fantactic rooftop for gathering or seclusion.
