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.
CanadaMonica 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!

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!
United States of AmericaLocation is perfect, Service is excellent Highly recommend
NetherlandsVery kind host and atmosphere, nice localisation and very clean and well-designed rooms
PolandI was given a nice welcome by the staff, everything was explained including how to get in and out of the building after hours. The room was as expected, a little small but fine for 1-2 people travelling together. The bathroom was shared, as expected, but I never had to wait to use it. I didn't spend much time within the hostel but everything was fine, and I had a nice quiet night as other guests were respectful and there was no street noise. I appreciated having an electric fan in the room.
