10 May 2012 Syed Rameez would recommend this property

Liked: The location of the hostel is more or less in the centre of the old town, very close to the church/mosque, which is the main attraction of the city. The building itself is nicely decorated with lots of colours. The rooms, wash rooms, staircase, and the common areas were quite tidy and well maintained. The staff was specifically very cooperative and polite. I will definitely recommend everyone, who is looking for an inexpensive place, to stay there without any hesitation.

Disliked: The only thing that I did not like was the arrangement for the breakfast: 1) which was not free, and 2) the number of plates was so limited that I did not find a clean one for myself, although I was quite in time to reach the table. I'm quite sure there is still a scope of improvement in that matter.

07 May 2012

Liked: The manager was very friendly and helpful and the location was brilliant. The rooftop terrace was a nice place to sit, but not very communal.

Disliked: The worst thing was that they are currently struggling with bed bugs - I ended up getting a very itchy rash the second night I stayed there and spotted a bed bug on the sheet the morning I left. Though the staff gave me new sheets, there was no offer to change rooms and I suspect that this might be a problem throughout the hostel. The rash is only just fully fading, nearly two weeks later, and has been extremely itchy and unsightly in the meantime. It was extremely unpleasant trying to sleep being aware there were bugs about. There was also only one computer for internet and very little communal space in which to meet people. I would not stay here again!

05 May 2012 Nina would recommend this property

Liked: It is great small hostel in the center of the city, very colorful and charming. And very comfortable, clean and friendly.

Disliked: Well, it seems that hostel is extra charging for the bedclothes (and towels) if one is staying in dorms (not case of private rooms) ... not a usual practice in the world of hostels.

23 April 2012 Valeriya would recommend this property

Liked: Great location, close to the Mezquita and within walking distance of the bus station. The rooms were really clean and the place was bright and colorful. The staff were really nice and helpful!

Disliked: The sheets aren´t included in the price of the dorms, which is annoying but theyre really cheap to rent (2€) so its not a huge issue.

12 April 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location, free internet

Disliked: This is a pretty bare bones hostel. The room I was in was pretty run down and old, and my sheets had small holes from so many washings. It was clean enough, but the bathroom got to be a mess with six people competing for it in the mornings. Also, the free map they provide is a grainy, black and white computer printout. it'd be better if the simply directed you to the tourist office for an actual map.

Liked: I loved the idea that the doors work on card system instead of key.

Disliked: I wished they had more toilets as there was only one and the WiFi was working only for the first day and it didn´t work on the second day though.

Liked: This is an absolutely lovely hostel with gorgeous views of Granada and Alhambra. The room was charming and cozy, and very clean. A bit difficult to find, but well worth it!

Liked: awesome location!!! friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere for people travelling alone.

Disliked: no kitchen. had to pay to rent sheets and towels. shared room only had one light in the center of the room and only one plug to charge things.

03 April 2012 Mohd Izwan Ali would recommend this property

Liked: Location is superb, the Mezquita and other tourist attractions are just a stone's throw away from the hostel. Besides, the place is really clean with really helpful receptionist. Oh, and it's got a quite nice roof top!

Disliked: I dislike the fact that we have to pay quite some money on top of the already paid amount for the beds. For example, I had to pay €3 extra for bedsheets and pillow case, which i think shouldn't even be charged in the first place because they're the basic stuff that come with the beds. So, I thought it's a bit of a rip off. And also, it could be quite loud at night coz there's a bar just opposite the hostel. Local people just love singing in the bar late at night. So, I would suggest that you bring earplugs with you!

18 March 2012 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Good location and friendly staff. Rooms cleaned every day and AWESOME SHOWER!!!!!! It was really strong and hot shower, the best ever!

Disliked: It was a little noisy at night since there is a bar right in front of the hostel. But this depends on the location of the room I suppose. Our room was right in front of the pub.

Liked: Actually nothing except that receptionist was gorgeous.

28 December 2011 Farah Wahida would recommend this property

Liked: It is a very nice and creative hostel! My room has an abstract of fish on the wall and it is very nice, and the other room has an abstract about Dreams. It does fit the theme 'senses&colours' as the hostel is very colourful and there is lamp on the stairs that 'senses' our presence. :) The location is very strategic, close to the city center and also the Mezquita(La Cathedral of Cordoba). One of the staff can also speak English. The room and the toilet are very clean.

Disliked: It will be better if breakfast is included. :) I have booked for 3 rooms (two 4-beds room & a 6-beds room) but it was slightly disorganize when I arrived at the hostel. We got 4 rooms (a 6-beds room, and three 3-beds room). Although it did not change the fee, unfortunately three of my friends got a store, which then modified into a room. They were managed to argue with the staff and finally got a better room. It was unpleasant as we have book the rooms very early and the staff should be prepared of our large group.

14 December 2011 Farah would recommend this property

Liked: Value and location! It was hard to find at first but we managed in the end asking people. The people are really helpful and friendly. (guys especially). We stayed in a 8 bed dorm and there wasnt anyone else there other than the 5 of us. the toilet is clean. we were traveling in winter, so it gets really cold at night but the blanket was warm enough but its a bit too dusty. pretty cool place with great value. but the receptionist cant really speak english. but she was helpful

Disliked: Farah left no negative feedback.

Disliked: Nothing. Would definitely stay here again.

11 December 2011

Liked: Clean and good staff...

Disliked: There was no kitchen, tv room or common area in the building you had to walk down the street a couple of minutes to another hostel to use their facilities. Also, I asked for another blanket because the room was cold and they didn't have spares. The blanket I had was useless as well.
