Horrible !
Pros:

Rien !

Cons:

Aucune insonorisation, la dernière nuit j’ai fait totale nuit blanche. Aucun rangement pour les vêtements même pas une armoire. Aucune couette ou couverture, un simple drap. Aucune réponse à mes messages. Aucun ménage de fais, les sanitaires sont horriblement sales. (Les photos jointes, c’est resté 4 jours comme ça) Emplacement dans une rue très sale aussi. Annonce d’un hôtel dans le titre alors que c’est un appartement avec 6 chambres.
Une seule chaise, rien dans la chambre à part un lit en gros.

Cómodo y confortable
Pros:

La verdad era la primera vez que ibamos a un hostel y supero nuestras expectativas en cuanto a modernidad de las instalaciones y el detalle de tener en cocina a diario infusiones y cápsulas de café gratis

Cons:

Se podrían mejorar varias cosas en ikea hay armarios muy prácticos y muy baratos tipo percheros no solo para colgar si no tambien patá guardar otras cosas al igual que mesitas de noche baratas pero solo por poner una observación ahh y la almohadas también podrían ser un poco mejores se quedan cortas para dormír por lo demás todo perfecto

Pros:

Cleanliness & Amenities: Everything was very clean. There was a selection of tea and coffee available, as well as soap and towels.

Comfort: The bed was comfortable and spacious enough for two people.

Location: Absolutely best location – close to everything, yet not on the main street, so it was quiet. Also, just a minute away from a supermarket.

The Room: Room was very spacious. The windows faced a dark and rather filthy courtyard and had frosted glass, but that was ok for relaxing after spending the whole day out in the sun.

Value for money: For this price, considering the excellent location and cleanliness, I highly recommend this place. It’s a safe choice for a great, budget-friendly holiday. I would return.

Cons:

Communication: No contact with the staff via WhatsApp.

Maintenance issue: The neon light in the hallway near room no.5 blinks like it's a techno party, which is quite annoying and needs to be fixed.

Earplugs: Be sure to bring earplugs because you can hear almost everything from the hallway and neighboring rooms. A lot depends on the other guests, but earplugs solve the problem and ensure a good night's sleep.

Deposit: Don't miss the information about the €50 deposit. It was refunded after a few days, but it's something to keep in mind.
