Private rooms and mixed or all-female dormitories are available. All rooms feature secure lockers and a bedside lamp and power point. All rooms have modern furnishings and large windows that allow plenty of natural light in. Private rooms feature a TV. Super friendly staff. We attended the Fiesta Friday with an hour of free sangria's, and after that entry to the club in their basement. We really recommend this hostel, especially when you travel alone or with a friend. You will definitely make new friends. Everything was clean and comfortable.
