A decent enough hostel. Spacious dorms, good facilities, great location - closer to the excellent Zicatela Market than any other hostel. However, this place has some issues. The kitchen is not very clean and the dorm beds don't have reading lights. So basically you have the main light on or no light at all. It's not good if guests are going to bed at different times. My dorm was Mundaka. Maybe the others are different? I don't know. There was also some questionable choices of music playing from 10am in the morning. All-round decent though.
