Good value for money, issues with hot water
The staff was super helpful, we were able to leave our luggage before check in. Nice location, close to shops and promenade. However, we had a problem with a lack of hot water in the bathroom (on one or two occasions, there was no hot water at all so we had to take showers in a cold water which wasn't very pleasant experience).

Great Stay
My friend and I stayed here for a few days. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the room was perfect for us - two beds with bathroom - close to all the amenities and the hostal was kept so clean. Wifi was good too - although there was a kitchen to use we didn't use this trip

Hostal bueno
Para ser un hostal está bien, pero si lo valoras como hotel le pondría un 5. Los huéspedes son descuidados con la limpieza de la cocina. La habitación está muy limpia. La cama es cómoda. La ubicación es buena porque está muy cerca del charco de San Ginés pero da una sensación de no mucha seguridad. El personal es muy amable. El baño es muy pequeño y no hay manera físicamente posible de no tocar la desagradable cortina de la ducha. No hay ascensor. Puertas antiguas. Poca seguridad y que no se calla la carva

Best value hostel in Arrecife
I arranged last minute trip to Arrecife, and booked this hostel based on reviews and the keen price. I consider I made the best VFM choice. The Hostel staff were very welcoming and it was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and I was allocated a room with private, rather than shared bathroom. The bathroom was very compact, but everything worked perfectly and again spotlessly clean.the towels were much thicker than I expected. There is a Fridge and kettle in the room and you have access/use of a kitchenette, if you wish to cook your own food. The Hostel is very convenient for the town / harbour area (2min walk) but a little distance from the bus station(s)

A bit dissappointing one...
It could have been a really nice stay in a nicely and conveniently located hostel but... my bad luck started on a day of arrival - as check-in starts at 1pm and I have arrived for 2pm my room was not ready and had to wait until about 4pm to get into my room... Room was made tidy and clean but don't be fooled by the pictures used to advertise the hotel - there was no welcoming bottle of wine/water, not even any cups or glasses you could use for your own drink (there was a kettle though ;). instead of personal toiletries - one shower gel dispenser on the wall... But it was not that important - the worst was that it has been advertised that hostel runs daily housekeeping and my room has not been visited through all my stay there (7 nights). The bin has not been emptied, towels not changed :( Happily I have chosen double room for a single use so half of my stay I have used one set of towels and slept in one bed, then moved to another ;) As the bin was just one - I had to leave it a bit overflowing... and the most important thing - happily there was enough toilet paper on a roll!!! ;) After those inconveniences - noise and slamming doors (mentioned also in other reviews) were really just nothing ;) So I think my overall experience is turning towards rather a negative one... Ahh.. And to not to paint everything in just black - WiFi router was in my room so at least internet was reliable and fast ;)

Fab little place in the heart of Arrecife
Fantastic hostel in the heart of Arrecife. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is more like a 2* or 3* hotel than a hostel, but has a fab shared kitchen guests can use. The location is great- right on the marina-with loads of cafes and restaurants less than a minute away. We were in room 304, and it got a bit noisy first thing in the morning with the cleaners starting their rounds, and loading washing machines etc, so ask for a lower floor if noise bothers you. However, that said, it's cheap, pleasant and friendly, and I would definitely stay again as it it so convenient.

Excelent location
Right at the heart of the action, only moments from the front and the beach. The staff were friendly and the roof terrace is even more fantastic than it looks in the photo's. The WIFI worked well and allowed me to stream BBC iPlayer. If you want them to they will organise bus trips and even have some bikes for hire. There are no catering facilities in the room but guests have access to a full size kitchen on the ground floor and shops bars and coffee shops are only a few steps away. They also printed my return boarding passes for me.

Room was clean, well laid out but could've done with one more electrical socket. Very useful to have a fridge in the room to store stuff..... Strange but bathroom window vents into the corridor; high up so no-one can peek in unlike the courtyard window so remember to draw the curtain! Confused by the kettle in the room - drinking water from bathroom taps??? Do take time to appreciate the artworks in the common kitchen etc.......nice space for breakfast etc & saves on buying water too!! The terrace is nice with great views of normally clear skies, hence sunbeds on the roof OR for sipping a coffee whilst stargazing!!

Excellent centrally located hostel in Arrecife
A very friendly, value for money, conveniently located hostel in the heart of Arrecife. Room was of a good quality, and shared bathrooms were always available to use. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Due to the nature / construction of the building and the road outside it can be a little noisy at times but overall value for money is excellent.
