This hostel is in a great central location. You will be able to walk to most tourist destinations around the city. We were disappointed that the nearby Metro station was closed during our stay, but it we didn’t need to use it often anyway. The area is a popular nightlife area, especially with the gay community.
The hostel is old, but still relatively clean. It was quiet from outside noise, but the internal walls were thin and we could hear other guests at night.
There was a safe in the room, but it cost €1 every time it was opened. We were also charged for our first night’s stay in our home currency without our permission, at a 5% premium over standard exchange rates. This practice is illegal and something to watch out for if your home currency is anything other than Euros.
Jose was friendly and helpful.
