My wife and I are currently backpacking through Europe. As a couple of Aussies, we've stayed at many hostels and this one really impressed us.

6 categories to cover off in my opinion to write a useful review; price, location, bedrooms, bathroom, noise and staff.

At €49, good value in our opinion for the location and quality of room. You can walk everywhere, buses and metro only minutes away. Great restaurants surround the hostel in this very pretty location with it's tree lined streets. Feels like Paris without the noise and crowds! Felt very safe walking around in the evening.

Bedroom very large stylish art-deco room. Would have loved aircon in ours, but the fan did the job. (Aircon rooms coat €57 I think).

Shared bathrooms are totally fine - very clean (cleaned daily).

No street noise for us in the back room, but experienced other loud drunk guests coming back at 4am and talking like no one else was staying there. (Some signs up asking guests to respect other guests after midnight would go along way!)

Jenny the manager (filling in we think she said) is an absolute star. Always smiling, laughing and incredibly helpful. Always offered good activity tips etc for us.

Highly recommend those on a budget who want a great location to stay here. If it's more pricey than what you're used to, you'll save the difference on not having to use taxis as it's in such a great location.

We stayed at ABC for 3 nights. The location is very good but we were realty surprised by how rundown the rooms and bathroom are. The walls are full of holes and the bathrooms are extermly dirty. The pictures on the website are very deceiving.

The breakfast was not too bad but the staff are very rude. I asked for coffee and she replied you already had one! The otherday she replied to an elderly asking for bread that she can not have more......
I strongly suggest you look for an alternative accommodation.

The service was excellent - the two German girls who run the hotel were always helpful. Our double room was small but elegant. It was a bit noisy because it was just 5 metres away from the breakfast room. But as it is only a small b+b consisting of only six rooms, it is probably never too loud and busy. The location could not be better for pub crawling. Just across the street (calle Conde de Altea )you will find lots of bars.

The room was large but the shower had a wall broken and water falling down on the floor. Electric wires were exposed. Lights were not bright enough. In addiction there were no lift, so it would be a problem to have a heavy baggage,
