Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Possible street noise — The bustling central location means noise from the street can be heard all day, according to one guest.
  • Rooms can feel dated — While many rooms are refurbished, one guest found the room 'a little weary' upon arrival.
  • No pets allowed — The hostal does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for some travellers.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 18:30, which may be restrictive if you arrive later in the evening.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking at the property, so guests arriving by car will need to find public parking nearby.

“This recently refurbished hostal has newly decorated rooms. The staff went above and beyond, and the room had a mini-bar, central heating, TV and a very comfortable bed. The views were particularly good, breakfast offered local dishes, and the location is unbeatable — just a 10-minute walk to a major central square.”
