Average, large and busy hostel at one end of Grand Via.
It’s a great location and staff are good, but the hostel itself is average.
Dorm beds have privacy curtains which is great, plus a light, ledge and socket. Shared bathroom facilities are clean and functional. For once, a towel is provided without an additional charge.
There is a large communal area, but annoyingly there is no kitchen area. So there are no communal fridges to keep your drinks or food cool in hot weather, and no way to prepare any food. In a hostel of this size, they should have some form of kitchen or refrigerators.
Overall it’s a good base to explore for a night or two, but probably not the best for backpackers.
