–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small rooms — Rooms are described as compact, which may feel tight for longer stays or guests with large luggage.
- Basic facilities — The hostal has a lower facilities score, and some guests noted the lack of a fridge and the absence of an on-site bar or restaurant.
- Potential language barrier — A guest reported that staff did not speak English, which could be a challenge for non-Spanish speakers, though they still found them helpful.
- Evening check-in window — Check-in is only until 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals; however, staff have accommodated late check-ins per reviews.

The room was spacious, clean, cool, with good Wi-Fi and an ensuite. Staff were lovely, though I do speak Spanish so I'm not sure about their English.”
