Alcaravaneras Hostel

Not recommended! At first there were problems with check-in: there was no one in the building in the evening, the phone number posted on the door did not answer. It turned out that I needed to contact a certain Maria on a completely different phone number so that she could provide the code and give further instructions. Why contact the guest in advance, right? Bourgeois excess. But here it is. I didn’t have a local SIM card 2 call. What If I didn’t have traffic left? Trapped then? Random guy from a hostel helped me [facepalming] The internet didn't work almost every evening. At all. The speed was poor. Cmon, guys, it’s almost 2024! Can’t you just pay €30 more to the provider?! The door lock to my room needs to be replaced - I struggled with it every day for a week. No soundproofing The room smelled very strange upon arrival One day there was no toilet paper in the common toilet Another day, the soap was removed. Why? Because! No elevator No furniture in the room Not enough lighting in the room - just one wall bulb. Avoid!

Check-in, keys & locks at your peril! The most difficult hostel experience ever! From not being able to enter upon arrival (remote entry) to constantly being locked out due to faulty keys & locks…even got locked in common bathroom and had to call emergency to get out. The Hostal is well cleaned and quiet, with lots of stairs. Top floor common kitchen & deck are comfortable and inviting. Cooperative guests (who had to let me in constantly). Facilities are well maintained (other than the important keys and locks). This issue put a huge damper on the experience.

We stayed for a week. Room was ok, only suprise was that there was only 1 available socket and we needed more. Shared kitchen was really small as same as fridge. There wasn't basiccally any cutlery. But we didn't use the kitchen, so i didn't bother us. Nearest restaurant was next door.

Easy living and filled my needs! Easy set up, nice and simple room. Was perfect for a simple week as an open minded dude without high expectations or needs. Met a few other guests on the roof terrace. Felt safe and slept with the balcony door open, accompanied by soothing back alley noise. Clean bathroom with a nice, big shower. Got the wrong front door passcode at first tho, had to wait for some guests to get out so I could get in. However I t all worked out

👍:Great location, kind staff, cheap 👎: no hot water in the shower in 4 days, no insonorisation, bed very aged
