The hostel is 1-2 minutes away from the train station and the bus station (the bus that goes to the airport). There are a lot of shops nearby and the city center is also close. The staff is really nice and the whole hostel is very clean. I really recommend this hostel.

Great location, just next to bus and train stations. Everything is close, on walking distance. Even Cabo Mayor can be reached for an hour, if you like walking. Very clean and quiet, friendly staff.

Comfortable common spaces that encourage socializing with the other travellers!
