Liked: a 5 minute walk to plaza mayor and sol and a great place to meet other foreign travellers. Also make sure you ask how to use the key system at reception as a few of us found it tricky!

Disliked: The showers as they were small so you couldn't put your dry clothes or towel in the cubicle and nowhere immediately outside either. Apart fom that it was perfect:)

Liked: The hostel was great and its a great way to meet people too. It's really big and they have a huge common room. They also have free wifi and free computers so you don't have to bring your laptop. The rooms are super clean and so is the bathrooms. They also have lockers in each room with locks on it, so you can put your stuff in and it won't get stolen.

Disliked: i wish the kitchen was a bit bigger and had more hot plates but other than that it was a great place.

Liked: They had wristbands that worked as keyes to the rooms and lockers. We think that the system worked very well especially with the lockers. Also, the common room was comfy and the hostel had their own bar:)

Disliked: For some people the breakfast might be a bit too light.

Liked: I enjoyed the location and the terrace. The price was great for what you get.

Disliked: The rooms get loud at night and early in the morning. I was going out both nights and can typically sleep through anything, but was still annoyed by the noise levels. Much of the staff working at the front desk were not very nice or accommodating.

Liked: DO NOT STAY HERE- THEY HAVE BED BUGS!!! Not only that, when I asked to move rooms beacuse i had been bitten they did not seem at all bothered about the fact they had bed bugs- no apology, didn´t tell new people checking into the room, didn´t organise to have the room sprayed, nothing! Also, the cleaners took my towel from my room by mistake, but the hostel refused to admit this and said I was lying and didn´t have my own towel at all! They were unhelpful at check in, unhelpful when i had a question and seemed more interested in talking to each other than helping the guests. This is the worst hostel I have stayed in and I am usually happy pretty much anywhere!

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.
