For the price one pays to stay here I wish the breakfast was a bit more than just fruit bread cheese and yogurt! But other than that the place in itself is fantastic!

Room was spotless. Bed was very comfortable. The place was welcoming and with lovely decor touches. Pedro and his wife were super nice and helpful. They also helped with booking tours- making sure we get a discount. Breakfast was nice, included homemade cake and cookies. In the heart of downtown! I certainly recommend this place.

Hostel Matrix 55, struttura nuovissima, molto bella, in pieno centro storico per cui è comodissimo visitare la città. Personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile... grazie Monica !!! Grazie anche a Pedro e Susana che sono stati due eccezionali e amabili "padroni di casa" sempre pronti a consigliarci i luoghi da visitare o i migliori ristoranti in cui mangiare.
