good breakfast, confortable and clean, kind people working there!

Ruben Chile

Nice garden. Very nice staff. Close to the historic center, which is small. Big room, bed big enough (I'm 6ft tall) and comfortable enough. Fans in the room. Bathroom separate from the room. Ask at the desk for a lock to your locker. Breakfast (croissant, bread for toasts, coffee or hot drink, orange juice, rice crispies). Lidl supermarket nearby the station is great (big, has organic food).

Nice hostel in a central location. Very kind reception, wide room with frescoed ceiling, plenty of space, nice and clean. As I left early in the morning I got a bag with fruit juice, water and cakes in replacement for breakfast.
