“The location was handy, with the beach about a half-hour walk away, and there were decent local spots nearby like a bar and a shop.”

7.4Verified guest

“We booked one night after coming from Seville for the British Consular office, having had our passports and money stolen. It turned out to be a youth hostel, which we hadn't expected. The receptionist was incredibly kind and checked us in without the usual paperwork. The room suited us, the evening meal was hearty, the dining room was clean, and the WiFi worked well. We're a couple in our early sixties and don't know what we'd have done without her. I doubt a more upmarket hotel would have taken us in.”
