Great Place, Great Location

Review of Bird House
Reviewed May 14, 2019
This was my favorite hostel yet. The place was clean and easy to find, the luggage storage in the room was huge, the beds were comfy, and reception was super friendly. It was a great location...within walking distance to popular highlights and a super short walk to public transit. The A1/A2 bus for the airport is right around the corner so that was awesome. The only downfall was the thin walls. A group came back in around midnight and were SO loud until almost 3am(even though hush time started at 11...RUDE!) (they also were the same group that went out and didn’t come back until 40 mins after check out time and were total jerks over reception having cleared and cleaned their room), and the thin walls made it sound like they were inside our room...but even thicker walls couldn’t have shut them out.

They didn't give me a safe place to put my luggage, so after a day out, the cleaning lady cleaned my side of the room and went threw my stuff AND TOOK my sunglasses. When I reclaimed they didn't do anything but apologize.

Hello good morning, remember that you book a bed in a shared room where we have indicated your locker. There he was able to keep his belongings and lock them with a padlock , which you did not do. Our maid cleaned her bed, but there is no evidence that she opened her locker in the shared room.

Best regards,

Bird House Team

Hostel allows children. This doesn’t sound like too much of a problem, but they wake up before 7am and sing and shout in the common area. I stayed for 3 days and every morning this was the same. Requested a change in room everyday but told that this was impossible. Avoid if you don’t like early starts.

My flight arrived at 12am, I booked for that date but check in was 2pm. I put that in both my booking and follow up emails requesting a check in at that time that fit with my flight. They sent this "Hello, good morning, near the date of your arrival, we will send you instructions on how to access the room as the reception works until midnight. Best regards,Bird House Team" then I got an email on the morning of my reservation "Hello, good morning, near the date of your arrival, we will send you instructions on how to access the room as the reception works until midnight. Best regards,Bird House Team" If they needed me to change something about my reservation for the day before I arrived the could have just said so, but there was no mention of it. I had sent the arrival time and noted it in my booking, but also sent again when I saw the email around 7pm that day (I was travelling) and also requested the instructions for checkin. I got no response. I landed and arrived at the hostel a little after midnight and found another woman waiting to check in. She told me she had been there for an hour (the office still should have been open at that time) and that no one was answering the phone ( it was in the office that was closed). There was a box that said late night checkin instructions but nothing was inside. At no point in time did they say that they could not accommodate me, if they had I would have booked somewhere else. Also, I spent the night wandering around Spain looking for a hostel with that woman after our phones died. I was able to charge it at another hostel TOC and request a cancellation citing no instructions were given. That was denied by the property. So, the next day I went to the hostel to figure out what happened. The guy said that there was no bed for me for that day (12am on the date of my reservation).Why couldn't I have access to the common area couch or a response to my email? Why was there no mention of that earlier? Why was there another woman left without information? He kept wanting to explain the same thing over but wasn't listening to me. The beds were decent and facilities were clean, but at that point i was over it and just wanted to be done. If you're flying in at an odd hour skip this place.

First of all we apologize for the inconvenience caused and for perhaps the lack of communication in this case. We want to make clear that your reservation was ready for March 29 (the day you checked in as it was booked), when arriving outside the hours arranged for check in we understand that it is not our responsibility since All these details are previously informed and this is how it was done. We regret that this has even happened, but we still hope that the days you were at our hostel have been to your liking and we thank you for leaving us your comment.

We stayed at birdhouse for 3 days. The location was excellent. Accessible to almost all the attractions from there by public transport. Everything at the place was good except for wifi. Wifi was horribly slow!

Nice and clean property in a good location. Walking distance from metro and bus. You get what you paid for. The breakfast is served in a restaurant next door. We had a room with double bed and a bunk for the children.
