Pros
Nice staff - one in particular was very helpful and had a good chat with my partner one evening.
Hot water works well in showers.
Beds made each day.
Extra blanket provided when it got cold.
Cons
Shared bathroom door (toilet and shower) doesn't lock.
Double room was in fact a dormitory with 5 other beds in (although we had it to ourselves as we had booked a private room) and not that clean - one bed was covered in dirt and bits of wood.
Breakfast is extremely limited (cup of tea or coffee and the local 'tortilla' ((plain pastry)) each).
Wifi poor signal and at times just didn't work at all.
You're given a bar of soap when you check in and we struggled to know how to store it/ do you keep it in the room with you? After each shower we ended up bringing it back to the room in toilet paper before placing it on a cabinet to which it stuck.
Had to frequently ask for toilet roll for the shared bathroom.
The location is 30 minutes walk from the town centre and most restaurants (but you can find this out from looking at the hostel's position on a map).
