In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Exceptional staff and volunteers — Guests consistently highlight the warmth and helpfulness of the team, with several mentioning that staff go beyond the usual—like scanning documents or offering city tips.
  • Free dinners and nightly activities — A complimentary family dinner is served each evening, along with organized pub crawls, walking tours, and other events that make it easy to meet fellow travelers.
  • Central yet quiet location — The hostel sits near Plaza Mayor and is within walking distance of major sights, but guests note it's on a calm street, giving you rest after exploring.
  • Clean and comfortable dorms — Reviewers mention clean rooms with useful amenities like plug sockets and curtains, and several say the facilities support a good night's sleep.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities score is the lowest category — While rooms and staff earn high marks, the facilities category rates lower (7.1), so expect a hostel-grade setup rather than premium amenities.
  • Adults-only policy — Only travelers 18 and over can book, so it's not suitable for families with children despite the family-friendly dinner atmosphere.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only available between 14:00 and 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead to avoid issues.
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accommodate pets, so travelers with animals must look elsewhere.
