The location is fantastic!

“Prima accommodatie voor kort verblijf”

Nice reception and it was good that the luggage could be delivered earlier. The house was noisy.

“A central, if basic, retreat”

The place is only 5 minutes from the train station or the air bus stop at Luceros, which is very convenient for that part of town, and there’s a good tapas spot just around the corner (Lizarran) that’s very reasonable. There’s a lift and the room was spacious enough to include a table, two chairs and a wardrobe, but there were no bedside lamps, just one main light. Unfortunately the view was internal, though at least there was a window and the room (room 3) was quiet. The bed was very comfortable and there was an air conditioner, so it was fine for a couple of days of basic accommodation. Those are the positives. On the downside, the check‑in details were rather last minute and that made me a bit nervous. Someone was there to take your details (and a €50 deposit!), but she was only available from 4–8 pm and she wasn’t exactly friendly—just a smile would have helped. After 8 pm they charge a late‑check‑in fee. The first thing I noticed in the room were ants—well, they get everywhere, but there were only one or two, so it wasn’t a big problem compared to cockroaches or bedbugs, which were thankfully absent. There was no mirror in the room, which is not a big deal, but the lack of lighting was a problem I mentioned. The two shared bathrooms were basic, had no hand towels, and the showers in both were broken, so you had to hold the water while showering, which isn’t easy. There was no plug in the sink, which seems normal in Spain. The shampoo was very basic (cheap) and there was a mop left there, so a lot of excess water was around. The kitchen was minimal with no coffee or tea provided, or even a fridge. There were no plates, saucers or cups, so if this is a B&B as described, how are you supposed to make breakfast?

Friendly staff and attention to detail. Small kitchen with microwave, water heater, Nespresso machine. Restrooms renovated. They only give one towel per person for the bathroom; I suggest adding a hand dryer or a hand towel like other hostels do. On the first day, guests in rooms 4 and 5 came at 4 and 5 am, making noise, slamming doors, laughing, and waking everyone in the hostel. They shouldn’t allow such guests. I won’t return because of this.

The location is good. Everything else is bad.
