Hostel has great location, couple meters from the beach. There is a small shop on the opposite side of the street, but there is also mercadona, supercor in 10mins walking distance. Hostel has two kitchens (one rooftop, one lounge) and both are well-equipped. There are many showers and toilets available on first floor. Beds are not so comfortable and all common areas are closed between 11pm and 8am. Also there are many outside guests and former guests coming into the hostel at all times which is quite weird, but results in intense social life.
The staff were 100% lovely, helpful and friendly. The only issue I had was fixed immediately.
The hostel is kept super clean throughout.
Guests were truly international and there was a great friendly vibe.
Kitchens and seating on ground floor and roof, from where you can see the ocean nearby. Free drinking-quality water, first time I've seen this in many trips to the Canaries. Good wifi. Main showers and basins in safe-feeling unisex area on middle floor. Clean and warm IKEA bedding. Super convenient to beach, good supermarkets, buses, etc.
I was in the 4-bed female dorm that has a window to atrium rather than to outside. That could have been annoying at night but the staff ensured quiet from 23:00, so it was probably quieter than an external window? Imagine it's hot in summer, but then you are in the Canaries...
Thanks guys+gals, I had a great time :)
I've booked in this hostel for 3 nights and I left after the first one. The hostel looks fine, nice terrace and good location. I've decided to left after 1 night because i got 9 bites from bed bugs (when the receptionist took photos of my bites, the manager told her "it could be a spider or an other insect") They were full and they couldn't set me up in an other room. They changed the mattress (probably the manager realised that weren't spiders or others insects bites..better late than never), but i didn't feel to stay anyway (i was in a 6 beds room). I don't blame anyone for that. Unfortunately, it happens sometimes in hostels. I just do not agree with the hostel policy. I've asked them if it was possible to get the refund from my 2nights left, and they told me no refund in case of bed bugs, it's their policy. So, just to let any traveller know, there no refund in case of bed bugs. As I wrote it, i don't blame anyone. It happens in hostels sometimes. From my point of view, their policy is not fair. Plus they told me that weeks early of my arrival they had the same problem with an other guy. Think guys before to book this hostel.
I really enjoyed staying at this hostel for the last 2 nights of my holiday in Gran Canaria. I would definitely recommend it to others and would have stayed there longer except that I had a flight booked back to the UK on the Monday! It is such a chilled friendly hostel with a lovely roof top terrace, seating area nd even a 2nd kitchen, also a sweet cat called Selma - not allowed in the bedrooms obviously. And it is such good value - of course you have to share a dorm with otheres, but the curtains around the beds, also night lights above each bunk mean that you can get privacy. There are useful large drawers under the beds/bunks where you can store your clothes etc, also lockers - take your own padlock or buy one from the hostel. The ground floor kitchen and dining area are great too, meals and other activities e.g. yoga are organised if you want to join in with them - the breakfast for 5 euros looked very tempting...the roof top terrace (2nd floor up, no lifts) has a grat view of the sea with waves rolling in...if surfing is your thing there could be no better place. Or you can just sit with a drink/breskfast and admire the view.
Super nice hostel just steps from the southwest end of the beach in Las Palmas. Kind staff, great social culture, comfortable beds, and a resident hostel cat :) would definitely recommend for anyone visiting the island
I highly recommend this hostel, it’s very close to the beach, a surf school and most importantly the atmosphere and people who work there are giving a very homey and cozy feeling from the moment I’ve entered the hostel. I’m happy to be back there soon 😊
Liked location, it is excellent. Did not like kitchen, its made for one person, there are 24 people in hostel at any given time. No room in kitchen at any time. All and i mean cupboard space is taken up by staff.
This property is close to my he beach. Close to restaurants, markets, bars and anything else you need. The owner/managers are always close by and very helpful

This time, only one night stay. Nothing to really like going back for..
Had a lovely time: great atmosphere, friendly vibe and friendly staff.
Hostel does activities, which helps to meet other travellers.
Really close by the beach and a couple of surf schools and Surf rental places.
Great location for a Surf/beach escape
