    Now that's how a true hostel looks like! I've been to more than 50 other hostels around the world, and this one is among the best. It's about your feelings - you can feel when you are in a great place, it has proper spirit. No amenity can...

    The location is awesome since one can find a number of food options at walking distance. Alhambra palace is also at walking distance of about 30 minutes or so. Kitchen was good. Bathrooms were good.
