Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Limited common areas — The rooftop terrace is the only shared space—there is no dedicated common room or kitchen. Guests who want a social hostel may find it lacking.
- Limited English spoken by staff — Several guests note that staff speak little to no English, which could be a hurdle for non-Spanish speakers.
- Small scale — The hostel is small, which some guests appreciate for its quietness, but it means fewer facilities and less space overall.
- Showers and kitchen could be improved — While many guests praise cleanliness, a few mention that showers and the kitchen area could be better maintained or equipped.
- Not for social travelers — If you're looking to meet people in a lively common room, this hostel's quiet, privacy-focused setup might not be ideal.
