In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book
  • Staff go above and beyond — Guests repeatedly mention Luca, Luka or Lucas by name, describing helpful, friendly service that includes local recommendations and thoughtful touches like extra blankets.
  • Great value for a central stay — A private dorm bed from £17, with laundry at €4, makes this an affordable base for walking the Camino or exploring the city.
  • Walking distance to old town and Cathedral — About 13 minutes on foot to Hostal de los Reyes Católicos and the historic core, with minimarts, cafes and restaurants close by.
  • Thoughtfully equipped dorms — Comfortable beds come with privacy curtains, reading lights, shelves and charging points – the essentials for a good night's rest.

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 17:00, which could be tricky if you arrive later in the day. The staff are praised for accommodating late arrivals, but it's worth planning around.
  • No pets and no bike storage — Pets are not allowed on site, and the name itself makes clear there is no bike storage – a consideration for cyclists on the Camino.
  • Value category below average — While guests praise the cost, the Value score of 7.7 is notably lower than the high marks for staff and rooms, suggesting perceptions vary.
  • Compact communal areas — The hostel is described as 'compact' and 'small', so shared spaces may feel tight when full, particularly the lounge and kitchen.

“Beds were comfy, each with its own shelf and light. The place was spotless and fellow guests were sociable. Lucas at reception was warm and pointed me to great local spots. I never worried about leaving my things out.”

“A cosy hostel within walking distance of the old town. Luca went out of his way to help, and his vegetarian restaurant tips were spot on, as was his advice for Porto. Beds were comfortable with shelves and lights, the place was clean and friendly, and I felt fine leaving my belongings unlocked.”

“Right on the way to the main sights, so it's easy to reach. Reception – Luke especially – were friendly and clued up. A compact place with all you need for a comfortable, affordable stay.”

8.3Verified guest

“We had a great time. Luca, the Italian manager, was friendly and informative, and our late arrival was handled brilliantly. He even sorted us a lower bunk near the window with mountain views. The location was perfect – an easy walk to the old town – with a minimart, restaurants and cafes close by. Everything was clean, the bed was comfy with eco-friendly sheets, and the €4 laundry service was handy. Separate male and female bathrooms made things easy. We'd recommend it to any backpacker.”
