I had such a great stay at this hostel! The hosts were excellent — welcoming, helpful, and with great tips. The location is perfect, making it super easy to explore the area. The atmosphere is really friendly and social, ideal for meeting other travelers. Everything was clean and well-maintained, and the beds were surprisingly comfortable. Thank you, Ramon and Carmen!

The landlord, who we fondly call Spiderman, was a proper diamond geezer, right there in the lobby when I rocked up. We had a chinwag, and Spiderman gave me a few tips about what to do in town - all top-notch advice, I tell you. I rolled in past the witching hour, using the info Spiderman had pinged me by email. Had to send over my passport before I got there, a must-do since it's a self-check-in, which is quite the bee's knees, no need for a reception or staff. I bunked in a room with 8 other chaps, and I'd read reviews about there being only one loo, now I get the picture. On the ground floor, where my room was, there was just the one bathroom, but upstairs there were 5 more. No signs on the walls though, no hint that you could pop up to another loo. The lass running the hostel was quick off the mark. I dropped her a message on WhatsApp to crank up the air con, and it was on in a jiffy. Everything's remote-controlled, the temperature was spot on, 26 degrees, while outside it was a scorching 37. It's a cracking hostel, with a friendly and lovely atmosphere. You could tell the others were having a whale of a time. But if I hadn't read the rules before I got there, I'd probably have been in a pickle, wouldn't have known what to do. The message I got right after booking made it clear as day - if you don't read before you check in, you lose your booking. So, read up, mates!

the location is amazing! i knew the hostel would be really close to the old town but didn’t know that it was just a step outside the old town, only 1 min walking and you are already at the restaurants and bars. my room was great! had a view to the river! heater was very good, i got -7 degrees during my stay but felt very warm in the room. i’m really glad i stayed at this hostel.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    The staff made me feel so welcome, and they clean the rooms every day, even in the off season. The amenities are all functional, and the beds are comfortable. This is a great location, and I felt really safe at this hostel as a solo female traveller.

    Very kind staff, big bathroom, upgrade in the 8-beds dormitory and even, as I was there for the second time, the best bed ! Very quiet, as it is not a youth hostel.
