First timer

Having stayed in a hostel for the very first time, I had a great time. The rooms are large, beds comfortable and bathrooms clean. The staff is extremely helpful and the location is perfect for walking around València.

Great commonroom and a nice location

This hostel has great common areas so people were using them alot which made it a very social hostel (with some activities). I really enjoyed that. The rooms very fine - I have nothing bad to say about them. They had what I needed. The bathfacilities were also fine. The staff was really friendly and understanding. The location of the hostel is very good. The only unfortunate situationen was, that the place was under renovation when I was there - but thats only good for future travellers cause then the place will be even better.

Stayed in a 4 bed shared. Staff was mostly nice. They gave me a padlock to use during my stay. Toilets were terrible. Showers were not as bad as toilets but smelling bad. My room took all the outside noise. Breakfast was terrible.
