This was a great place to stay. The location is perfect, the rooms were clean and spacious, and use of a kitchen is a nice bonus. Hot water is a bit hit or miss but it works well once you figure it out.

Great location, nice staff, clean room

Location was great. Right in the middle of the city center, 15min walk to popular beaches, 20min walk to train station. The place was old but it is in an old area so it was to be expected. I had a twin room to myself and it was in the top floor and it had a balcony. Pretty good! Staff was friendly. Had an issue with a key for one of the doors and someone came within 10mins to help me (outside business hours). Only thing is that the water is heated with solar panels and during a 5min shower the water went cold. All in all highly recommend!

More of a hotel than a hostel, no elevator and they could use a handle on the inside of the door instead of a tiny latch that you can barely grab. Overall an alright stay. Large room with a nice balcony.

Such a simple and wholesome hostel. A classic hostel stay. The room was spacious for 6 people. Theres only one bathroom for 10 people. The room is cleaned daily. Theres a mini kitchen and fridge to store food. The hostel is right near the city center. Theres so many fun things to do in this area like salsa at Guanabana, night out with good music at the Tavern, karaoke near the city center. Beach/ Algarves are a 10 min walk away. Id stay again! Staff was super nice and helpful

I presume it is an old building built as apartments and townhouses but converted into a hostel. Therefore the design seems a little odd.

Spanish holiday

This is a basic hostel that incorrectly advertises its Seperate units with bathroom. These were advertised with balcony, kitchen and dining , city views and parking and pool . We had no balcony and faced a backstreet that people looked in directly to the room. Parking was on the street, look for your own and maybe get one close by. The kitchen was shared with a number of people. No pool what so ever We had a bathroom and kitchen next to us anda conversation pit below so the noise was extra loud with nil sound proofing. The bed may as well have been in the street. You expect some noise in a hostel but this room was excessive. The cost was very high compared to the other rooms. To round it off we found at least 6 dirty cut toenails around the floor and the tv stopped on the last night. The staff were very nice and the location is handy and would’ve been ok as a basic hostel. We have stayed in a number of hostels travelling the Camino and this would be worse than anything we came across. Pedro needs to review the advertisement and correct it. Do not stay here unless you are looking for a basic hostel.

Great private room

We had a great stay in a private room at the hostel. The room was impeccably clean and tidy. The room and bathroom were very modern and dry which made our stay very comfortable. The private room was on par with a 2-3 star hotel so we were thoroughly impressed! The staff were friendly and helpful and the location was perfect.
