The location, living area, the kitchen, the bed and bedroom, and the best bathrooms ever!! Miguel is extremely welcoming and helpful. I would classify My Hostel as a ‘boutique’ hostel.

Rhodina Canada

Monica was the best part of our stay! The sweetest person we have met in a while. We were working online during these days, and she made sure everything went smooth! I will definitely recommend this place to friends and family. It felt like being at home!

Patrícia Portugal

Very comfortable hostel. Enjoyed en suite bathroom , t.v. selection, good Wi-Fi, temp control. Great, easy, attended parking 100 feet a way for 10 Euro per 24 hours on an otherwise crowded one-way street. Breakfast available with reservation. Very mellow residents during our stat, no undue noise. Coin washers and dryers available as well as shared kitchen. Lovely terrace available for use... Wonderful value for price!
