Can’t fault it

Can’t fault this place. Stayed here before. We did 11 days to use it as a base for going to different places. Friendly, and we managed with our little bit of Spanish and their little bit of English. Rooms large enough and walk in shower a bonus. Cleaned every day. Will be coming back.

This property is located in a good area, walking distance to beach and town. There are a local food market right in front of property with a supermarket next door for your needs. It is a hostel but with all you need for your stay. Rooms are clean with private bathrooms and air con, rooms have been refurbished recently. No parking on site but free parking in city if you manage to find one. Staff are helpful although they can forget to get back to guests. Rooms are very close to one another so can be very noisy. To have a towel hanger in bathroom would be great instead of a chair. Overall a good place to stay and I would recommend

Buena ubicación, reformado

Hostal reformado cómodo, limpio y en buena ubicación para poder ir andando a la playa, restaurantes... Eso sí, no nos olvidemos de que es un hostal y además antiguo: paredes de "papel" y puertas muy antiguas que hacen que si a los de la habitación de al lado les da por ponerse a hablar de madrugada puedas seguir su conversación sin problemas... Y ya lo de dormir para otro día. Hay que tener suerte con los vecinos.
