We loved the location. However, the space was incredibly small. The logistics to get to the second floor was complicated, I have knee difficulties and the multiple stairs are a problem but the elevator does not stop on the second floor unless you have a key which only the employees have. The street noise was incredible, kept us up the entire night, our first night. Nicely decorated and friendly staff, but I would not stay here again.

Overall it was a good experience and the beds are very comfortable, but the outside noise made it almost impossible to sleep. Even with the windows closed, we hard ally/street noise till around 4 in the morning and it started again at 6.

Schönes kleines Hostel, sauber, günstig und sehr zentral gelegen.
Gleich an der, Ecke ein sehr schönes Café ( la canasta ) mit freundlicher Bedienung für den Start in den Tag;-)
The Hostel was decent clean. The price-accomodation value ratio was very good. The location was really central and easx to aproach. Friendly people and the terrace a wonderful place to have a drink in the afternoon.
Horrible noise from street and bar upstairs. Small french balcony door let in lots of cold air. Room was very small. Would not stay again, or recommend to anyone. Location was right in the center that was good.

Bästa läget, mer centralt går inte att få. Bra trakterass med fin utsikt. Supertrevlig personal. Helt ok rum.
Valg af hotel var at det skulle være tæt på centrum og det var det. Sengen god og det fælles badeværelse til 4 værelser, var nyt, pænt og rent. Det samme hotel vil blive valgt igen, ligger 200 m fra centrum,i den gamle bydel, tæt på mange ting, kan anbefales.

Chinitas urban hostel was in a great location. Close to all amenities. The front house staff were great, very knowledgeable about the area and with a good understanding of English. The hostel was also very clean. My only complaint would be that the four bed dorm was tiny, I had to unpack on the floor as there was very little space. You must remember though that the price of staying here is very cheap so I do not think it is fair complaining.

Perfekt lokation, knap så god søvn
Sødt personale, virkelig lækker beliggenhed. Desværre trækker det meget ned, at de havde elendige senge! De var både korte og så var madresserne rigtig dårlige.
Excelent location, good staff and services. The only inconveniet was the light switching off during the bath. The bathroom light temporizer could be with presence sensor instead of the switch.
letti scomodi, copriletto sporco, bagno in condizioni pessime con uno dei due lavandini rotto e il marmo del piano di appoggio lasciato in vista a lato.
Tellement bruyant à cause du bar au dernier étage que des bouchons d'oreilles sont à disposition à l'accueil. Malgré ça, n'espérez pas dormir...

À éviter
Extrêmement bruyant à cause du bar au dernier étage et du bruit de la rue. La réception met d'ailleurs à disposition des bouchons d'oreille tellement le niveau sonore est insupportable mais ces bouchons ne vous épargneront pas les basses de la musique. Odeurs d'alcool et de tabac froid dans les couloirs au réveil. Bref à éviter !

Tuvimos que subir maletas pesadas por las escaleras dado que el ascensor no para en el primer piso. Somos todos personas mayores de 60 años.
I stayed one night in Chinitas but found it to be a great experience at a backpacker's level. The staff was friendly and helpful, the room was clean and secure, the hostel itself was very secure, and the bathroom was clean and water was hot. I stayed in a four-bed, mixed dorm. The area is popular and therefore can be noisy in the evening until late but the hostel provides free ear plugs. The hostel is very well situated: a 5-10 min. walk from the airport Linea A bus (Passe del Parque - or also called the Marina stop - the second to the last), is inside the historic center, near the Cathedral, Roman Theatre and AlCazba Fort as well as the night scene. The rooftop terrace provided a nice view of the Cathedral. Breakfast (by coupon) was simple toast and coffee in the restaurant next door but was very welcome. I would stay there again.
