There were beds in the garbage outside of the hostel which was disturbing. It was clean enough and bathroom was clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The receptions on Sunday 16th Feb In the morning was very rude.
I had to book this hostel last minute, the pictures seemed alright but the actual room conditions were horrible. Not one sink on the whole floor, not in the room or in the toilet. There is only one sink downstairs for two floors combined. No toilet paper in the toilets. I stayed in a single room, although it's January there is no blanket or quilt provided except the thin duvet with no sheets. There is only a small electric heating fan in the room.
The only good part was the sheets and the towels seemed clean and staff were helpful although they only spoke Spanish.

Location is the only good thing about this hotel. It is dated, only 1 shower per floor of 7-8 rooms, and and access to a microwave with out utinsels.
Well located basic accommodation. The night receptionist did not speak English but was very kind and helpful. The morning receptionist, speaks very good English but was rude, poor customer service.
Easy to find. Could do with a decor update as it has been a while since the last one. But for the price and location, which was perfect for the Rambles, no complainants.
The toilets were outside in the corridor and not in the room and they smelled pretty bad
No air conditioning so very hot
Location was really good apart from that nothing else was a positive
