Very very nice :) Nice and clean, clear kitchen and fully equiped, clear and calm rooms with lots of plugs for convenience , clear and big showers, even washing avaliable, good wifi. Very very nice and helpfull clerks. I recommend this everyone. That's been only my 2nd time as an adventure with "hosteling" because I was afraid , untrustful etc. but now I realize that there can be hostels on a very very good level and not overexpensive. I will revisit for you next time I am here!:) Regards Sylwester

I stayed 4 days here in the 16bed female dorm and was very comfortable and pleased with everything. I quite liked the privacy curtains for the beds and the fact that they have a 24hr concierge. The dorm, kitchen and bathroom areas were very clean and the other guests and staff were all friendly and polite. After I had booked my room online I called & asked to come and see the place as my last hostel nearby wasn't the best and I was shown around and everything was explained. The hostel is not far from the main bus depot and local bus stops. There are lots of shops locally. The marina is a few minutes away and Las Canteras beach is about 15-20mins walk (or short bus ride) away when you know the route. The bus from the airport takes you straight to the main bus depot (the one on the hour is more direct as only stops once). Would definitely recommend and stay again.
