Reviews of Albareda Youth Hostal

09 February 2012 Liam would recommend this property

Liked: Everything was so killer. Got in, was treated to a clean room, adequate kitchen, great common area, and free sangria! The parties on the weekends with everyone involved are the best. Nascy (staff member) is awesome - make him do his impression of a Brazilian Portugese accent, it's hilarious.

Disliked: One thing I would recommend is to bring earplugs, as there's no sound insulation between the common room and the rooms upstairs.

Liked: good location, small and safe, friendly staff, a very good value for the money

Disliked: the cleaning lady kept moving all my stuff I left on MY bed, including the pyjamas or underwear to the chair or on the top of the lockers, which was kinda uncomfortable:) very bad ventilation in the bathroom and absolutely no space to leave your stuff in the shower, no variation in breakfast, pretty small rooms and shaky bunk beds

26 December 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is very convenient, it's quiet but close to everything. Staffs here are super nice, ask for their recommendations about where to go and where to eat, it's very helpful. Reception is 24- hour. Breakfast is provided, it's very simple, but at least they have it. Kitchen is provided, so if u like to cook, it saves a lot of money. The lobby is very homy, we met a lot of nice travelers here. Wifi is free and fast. Difinitely recommend!

Disliked: there is no place to put your towls or clothes in the shower, but u can hang them on the door, it would be better if there's some hook.breakfast has only toasts, juice, coffee, cereal and milk, not a lot of choice, but at least there's breakfast, for free.
