A fabulous stay

The Hostal was just perfect. The location could not have been better. Rooms were spotless and very comfortable. The roof terrace had beautiful views, sunbeds, comfy chairs and a well maintained hot tub. Rooms had great Aircon and a small fridge. Rudolf was an excellent concierge, full of information. He was very kind and helpful. Would love to return.

A gem in Nwejau

I stayed here for just one night and had a great experience. While it’s listed as a hotel, it’s actually more of a hostel — but that turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed, with a friendly vibe that made it easy to feel comfortable right away. The room and facilities were clean and well-kept, and everything I needed for a short stay was available. Staff were kind, approachable, and willing to help with any questions I had. The jacuzzi roof terrace was an addes bonus. If you’re looking for something simple, affordable, and full of character, this is a great choice. I’d happily stay again if I’m in the area.

Great Hotel/Hostal for my stay

I had a very nice stay. The room was very clean and I found the bed to be very comfortable. It is in a very nice location that is very close to the Balcon de Europa.

Good insulated Windows, great location, reasonably priced. Priced. The only drawback I would say is that the shower and bathroom area is kind of small and the shower is kind of like a cruise ship. Shower and water does leak out of it which could be a problem in the future for the hotel.

La ubicación es privilegiada, a nosotros nos tocó una habitación demasiado pequeña y pegada al ascensor, pero aparentemente era imposible el cambio porque estaban a full. La terraza muy bonita.

Perfect location & roof top terrace

Excellent stay, perfect location in centre of the old town with all the buzz while still being really quiet in the room. Near to various beaches, restaurants, bars, shops, etc. Room was spotlessly clean and the rooms were very new and bright and fresh! Don’t be put off by the name “hostel” this is really just a term for hotel/apartment. Lovely roof top terrace, classy furniture with hot tub but no pool. Overall an excellent place to stay, we will definitely be back here!

This place a Hostel not a hotel, but listed as a 3 star hotel on Expedia. The property otherwise is nice, clean and well located. It’s also in pedestrian zone and you can come close to it with your car, so if you have heavy luggage, you will have to bring it from parking garage, which about 200 yards away.

It is well located and clean. Rooms are simply ok, nothing outstanding, very simple. Check - in process was a bit slow as when we arrived there was no one T the reception. We tried calling the number with no success. After about 10 minutes some other guests came in and let us in.
