Even if it was lights out, a lot of locals were still playing their phone on speaker mode (do they not care about other guests?), still calling on their phone, being noisy and talking with one another. The management did nothing about this. The window is open and people smoke right infront if it so it smells like cigarette in the whole area and yet again the management does nothing about it. Lights out at 22:30 simply was lights out and quiet at 23:30. Unbelievable. Staff are nice and helpful but it would really go along way if they put the strict rules in place.

Quiet hours and lights out times were NOT respected, and the staff did nothing about it. Would never recommend - they allowed EIGHT CHILDREN (under
Stayed on 12th August 2025 . Left at 2.30 in the morning because of bed bugs . My friend was badly bitten. Many people complained. Owner was called and came at 2am. Lots of very annoyed people who were bitten . I am amazed this place is still open . Beware . Had no choice but to start walking at 2.30am
The albergue owner here is an incredible and kind human. He went above and beyond to help us when my husband got food poisoning at a local restaurant. The beds are clean. The bathrooms have 4 showers (much more than some other albergues). It has a nice kitchen where you can make your own tea and meals. I would recommend this place to anyone and I am very grateful to the owner for his kindness and helpfulness.
Very nice hostal with plenty of space between beds and privacy curtains. Plenty of toilets and showers are strong. The kitchen was very good so we even cooked together.
A truly fine albergue, clean and well maintained. The beds are divided into plywood cubicles with a shower curtain style closure for privacy and have lockers that lock. There is no restaurant on site but many are nearby and there is a small kitchen as well as a laundry machine available. Michelle was friendly, cheerful and very helpful at check in, and check out is until 9am if you want to get a little extra sleep.
