They have great facilities. Free walking tours, bike rentals, good kitchen, their own cafeteria and very good breakfast buffet for an extremely reasonable price.

This is a great hostel about 15 mins from the centre of old town and I rented a bike for a very reasonable price which made getting around a ton easier. My bed was comfortable and I appreciated the privacy curtain on each bunk. The luggage storage was large enough to accommodate my luggage which is a bonus. And I like the quiet 🤫 rule from 10 pm onwards. The staff were uber friendly, very helpful and happy 😊 I would stay here again

Location is very good, also I recommend getting the breakfast in the hostel as well since it is very very good and cheap !

Teodora

The beds were very comfortable and the Hostel is in a great location! Right across the street from the riverbed park which is ideal for biking and walking. The free old city Valencia tour was also great. Breakfast costs 3.8 Euros and was definitely worth it.

Shelby

I really enjoyed the location of this hostel, it is really right in the heart of the city centre taking into account that Valencia itself is not a large city. Everything was close and I used public transport only to get to the beach (the tram stop is several minutes away as well as the metro station). The staff were friendly, the room and facilities always clean and in order. For a solo backpacker it is a great place to stay in, I really cannot find any disadvantages. All in all I would recommend this hostel for sure.

There is one non-spanish speaking staff who never says hello or smiles. I don't know why she works there if she is not happy to deal with people. It was very loud from outside after midnight although the hostel warns not to make a noise after 10PM, they did not do any further action about noise outside of hostel
Most of staff were very helpful and kind. Good wifi and good location.

Shower. I barely had a hot water. Just had only once while I was staying there for 2 night. Tried 4 times, Hot water doesn't come out in 3 times.
The location is good. Just 10 min walk to the city centre. It is quite easy to find this hostel from outside. Room is OK unless other travellers are quite.

“Weird mattress”
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
- • Submitted from a mobile device
The mattress was made of some sort of plastic, which made it very noisy at each move and it kept some sort of humidity to the body, not allowing it to breath. The temperature in the room was not balanced, with AC too hot-without it too cold. The walls were work in progress I guess, looking dirty and scratched (none like in photos)...
Open spaces, nice welcome.

“I really liked this place and would come back”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The selection of food in the cafe could have been more exciting. I know it might be asking for the moon but a cappucino machine would make the place almost perfect . My four bunk room was quite a long way from the toilet so a bit of a trek for a night-time whizz and some chairs in the room would make it warmer - it was sparse and nowhere to sit if you don't want to be downstairs.
Its a super hostel in a great location near the river park. The bed was comfy and the staff were friendly, very helpful and welcoming. I was able to rent a bike really easily right at the front desk and also able to store my luggage so I could enjoy my last day around the city unemcumbered. The crowd was varied and the atmosphere is inviting.

“Very good experience. I'd come back despite minor observations.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 1 night
The kitchen serves a disproportionate amount of guests so it's constantly overrun. Plus in this period the "cooking power" was drastically reduced due to three or four of the stoves being out of order and needing repair. During the nights the bar in the ground floor gets too noisy (this just reflects my personal preference for quiet environments at this point in my life), as it's a place for gathering and hanging around for dozens of people, especially under 30.
Excellent location. Good facilities, the staff is helpful. The beds are comfortable and offer privacy (plus reading light and plugs). It caters mostly to a young "audience" and that could be cool or not depending on your age.

There was no hot water at some times, cold room and unpleasant situation with a key from my room that I'd forgotten to return. I've informed the employees about it and was willing to cooperate and pay 10 euros so they could make a copy (I realized it at the airport already), however, they charged my card double (for a single copy of the key!) without even informing me. Very bad way of solving the issue. Would not stay again.
Some of the employees nice and helpful, good location.
