Very comfortable rooms and bathrooms Everything is so organized and easy (you can get breakfast, snacks, towels, laundry, attractions and more easily in the lobby) Great value!

The breakfast is better than what I saw in other hostals.

They give you a lock to use for free. Lots of cupboard space in the kitchen

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

Teodora

Good location; the bar crawl was nice. The beds all had curtains and two outlets. The dorm was arranged in a way to maximize privacy even with ten people sharing.

Michelle

Spain

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.

The rooms were very warm despite saying there is AC. I could only see a big wall mounted fan but the staff ensured if it needed to be on then we could just ask (by emailing them) On my second night I did ask but didn’t get a response for a few hours, the only slight gripe I had with my stay!
The location was fantastic, super quiet in the evening, right next to a park and only 10 minutes walk to the centre of Valencia.

I did not sleep, because of the plastic mattress. But that's what I could expect for those 14 euro's. So I would never complain about this hostel!
We only paid 14 euros a night per person and it's location was very near to the stadium of Valencia which was handy for the match Valencia - Ajax :-). We had a place where we could store our stuff nicely and safe.
