Clean, good location, friendly staff, and pretty decent breakfast (bread, cereals, butter/jam, juice, ham, spanish omelette, coffee/tea, cookies..). Stayed in a family room with kids and the beds were comfy, we had a private bathroom/shower, and didn't hear any noises at night.

Best Hostel Kitchen

This was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the aircon was great, our room had two sinks and a separate shower and toilet. The window out to the terrace was great for natural light. My big suitcase fit inside the locker or under the bed. Lots of hooks to hang your towels and the beds had an outlet, light and shelf! The kitchen was way beyond my expectations as it had multiple pots, pans, cutting boards, utensils, cups etc. it was extremely well organized with cubbies labeled with room numbers and plenty of space in the fridge (also well organized because they provided labels and pens) 10/10 recommend
