01 September 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free internet access. Very helpful staff - gave me a wake up call, let me borrow the phone when my bag was stolen etc. Good location for where I wanted to be. I was meeting friends in Valencia but there seemed to be lots of activities to meet people i.e. paella making, horchata tour...

Disliked: The dorms are quite big - two rooms of about 4 bunks joined together. Unisex bathrooms. Kitchen locked after a certain hour.

Liked: The terrace is nice but closes at 10 pm.

Disliked: The staff is disorganized, the bathroom/shower has no ventilation, the rooms are impossibly hot as there is only one small corner fan and no other air enters, the couches and furniture in common spaces has not been cleaned in millenia and is sticky and gross. And the linen smell awful. But if youre looking for a cheap solution, this is OK.

29 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Free internet, comfy beds, roof top terrace and close to sights.

Disliked: No air conditioning which made the place very hot as it was 44 in Valencia that day. Did have a fan but it didn't do much good. Everything else was good though.

Liked: Pretty good hostel. Some of the locks on the lockers were broken so some people couldnt lock their bag away but they do have safety deposit boxes. Massive kitchen, tv, free wifi in rooms, staff were helpful, activities every night to meet people. Its not fantastic but you can stay here happily

17 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice decor and facilities

Disliked: The staff made an error with my booking which meant I had to stay in a mixed dorm with an existing group, despite having booked a female only dorm. I was also made to change rooms during my stay, despite being assured when i checked in that this would not happen. I found this to be very inconvenient and irritating. Also - the staff were initially prepared to make me sleep on an "extra" bed rammed into the little available floorspace of a 12 bed room, making it a 13 bed room. The group who were already sleeping in this room were very angry about that arrangement and would not allow the extra bed to be placed there. The staff did not seem to care how awkward and upsetting this situation was for me.

15 August 2010 Kelly would recommend this property

Liked: Amazing! Great location first of all. Barrio del Carmen is where it all happens at night... The kitchen is amazing, I think 6 fridges. Staff were so lovely, and the paella nights are the best! Pablo knows what he's doing. The whole hostel was so clean. Love it, one of the best

Disliked: The terrace only being open til 10pm! The keydrop method when people leave and return doesn't really work...

Disliked: after coming down from my sleep on the first night the receptionist was quite rude and didnt achnowledge anything i asked, as i just wanted to know what was the best way to the beach, terrace closed at 10! very annoying because its a very good place to drink and to meet people so we all had to sit in the square next to the hostel and drink.

Liked: Location and price.

05 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This was possibly the best hostel i´ve stayed in! The staff are tremendously helpful, friendly and happy to help with anything. The rooms are spacious with massive lockers and the bathrooms are always clean. The common room and terrace are big too so you never have a problem meeting new people. Can´t wait to stay there again.

Disliked: The terrace closed at 10pm but I think that was just them keeping inline with the authorities.
