I booked while doing the camino. Good location but there was a group of young people making noise in the corridor and floor above until 4am. They were shouting and moving things around on the floor. The group had reserves the downstairs living room area ans they were very loud. When you walk 30km in the day, you just want to sleep at the end of the day. The beds were not comfortable and had no intimacy. There was no air in the room. The curtain shower dripped in the whole bathroom anytime someone took a shower. No information was given at the checkin (made through digital screen at entrance). Felt a bit impersonal. Hope this feedback can help to improve!
Good, nicely situated hostel with share rooms. It depends on yours cosleepers. Almost all, in my room, were unmannered. But its not a hostel mistake. Good breakfest.
Calling it posh is a bit of a misnomer. In my opinion nothing differentiates it from a normal hostel. For a standard hostel it is good with an excellent location, friendly service and good rooms and a kitchen
I went during the Europa league final, so certain things were probably different to the average experience. My main problem was the 12 bed dorm and my bed: 1. There were bed bugs (I live in an area with loads of mosquitoes and these bites lasted days and definitely not mosquitoes). 2. If you are going to massively overcharge (like everyone those few days) then at least get one extra person on to put on the bedsheets on. Check-in after 3pm is late. Perfectly located.
In a fancy area (5 mins from Guggenheim) looks like a hotel in the upper floors and the hostel on 1st floor (2nd for Americans cause of the whole ground floor being 0 floor thing). Stayed in a 6 bed mixed. 1 bathroom to share for everybody in the room, then 1 more bathroom in the hall for everybody in the floor to share. 1 usb (old school rectangle usb) plug at your bed. Then multiple (like 5 I think) plugs in one area in the room for all to duke it out for. Big lockers to fit a 50L bag. Buy a lock from them or bring your own lock with a medium size barrel (thickness of lock) because the thickness is what prevents the lock from being pushed in to turn to lock or unlock.
