The bed was sooooo comfortable - I had the best sleep yet on my Camino!! Location was close to everything- ferry, bus, & train station. Downtown cafes & restaurants were nearby. I liked the decor - pretty funky!!!

Extra effort waiting for me to arrive at midnight, and also packed me a breakfast to take on my early train because it was before the breakfast time of 8am! :)

Maybe it was because I was taking a shower the last, but the hot water didn’t last long, so I had to finish with slightly warm water.
Very friendly and helpful staff. And the atmosphere is great! Pleasant reggae music at the lounge zone. Tge sleeping place is also organized very convenient. The bath cabins have a door and a curtain, so when you finish washing you don’t have to step out naked:) The place is perfectly close to the bus and train stations, but still it was quiet enough to have a good rest.

They don't have AC and instead have ventilators that make a lot of noise. Some of the other guests of the room decided to turn it on during the night, it was a pain (that was in August).
Staff was very kind. Location was perfect. We had to leave very early the last day and they prepared us breakfast boxes!

“Not great”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
This is one of the few hostels to slap foreigners with a surcharge for using a credit card. Kitchen too small given the number of guests and only one sink. Cannot store luggage without being obligated to donate something. Cramped conditions in dorms with no airflow. Bathrooms usable. Common areas close at 11pm which is pretty early for Spain. And everyone has to "get out" during the day (reminds me of good old hostels of the 80's era.) No security on dorm doors. Poor lighting in dorm. Someone threw my backpack, my clean towel and clothes onto the floor off the chair. Given that guests almost never touch another persons stuff I suspect the owner (in some fit of anger), possibly because I either broke rule 28 or rule 34, cant remember which because there were so many rules! They need to up their game or get out of the game because their are much better options in this city.
Location close to train station.

It is overpriced for being an hostel. Plus I had to pay 1€ extra for exchange rate even if I was paying in euro. Cheeky way to make additional revenues from foreigners.
It is clean
