Comments: There should be a map to indicate the location of the hostel and the stop of the bus that we should left. I was hard to find it.

Comments: 20 beds in 1 room is really too much. No Lockers. Toilets without or with broken locks. Men using the female washroom. Do not go there except for the charming Brazilean receptionist.

Comments: A good hostel for the price, in the centre of town, really nice shower! Only problem was a lot of street noise all night long, so don't stay here if you're a light sleeper!

Comments: The hostel has a good location, descend prices and the staff is very friendly but the rooms are a big problem. The beds and the mattress are old and uncomfortable. The washing rooms smell. We didn't sleep well, also because of much noise and interruptions by other guests.

Comments: the hostel was great for the price. really friendly staff, great location, and safe if you are smart enough to put any valuables in the safe (apparently they have a had a few guests steal from other costumers this past year... in all cases the culprits were Canadian...) but in all, the place is great, and i was lucky enough to have a really fun group in my room. i´d recommend it, especially because of the price.

Comments: If you don't sleep easily, don't go there in the 20 people rooms. It is very hot and having people entering randomly and opening the lights and making noise at every hours of the night makes it hard to sleep. Even though it's really cheap, it has really little to offer but a place to put a backpack and try to sleep.

Comments: The stay was fine until the last night when things were stolen from every room in the hostel during the night. My money and sandels were stolen - be very careful! Slightly coloured our view of Salamanca which is still worth a visit. Just be extra vigilant.

Comments: I read poor reviews of this hostel and was very nervous about staying here. -- but it was great! Granted, there was a robbery while we were there, but if you are smart and either keep your valuables on you when you sleep or lock them in the inexpensive lockers, then you will be fine. The room was quiet, the beds were very comfortable, everything was clean and the many showers were hot and had good pressure. I would definitely recommend this hostel to a budget traveler-- you get a lot for your money.

Comments: It was alright for just sleeping, as they charge for almost everything. Breakfast is not included and you have to book it the day before... then, on departure they make you pay if you want to leave your luggage for a few hours. Beds were just OK and toilets quite big. Then, check out time at 12hours is a plus.

Comments: I really enjoyed my 2 nights' stay because I wanted a quiet and clean place for my short stay in Salamanca. Most of the young people were out for the night to party in town so I had the quiet room to myself in the evening. Plus they offer free wi-fi internet access!!!

Comments: For a couple of days, it is a decent place to sleep, especially for the price and location. There isn´t a lounge or kitchen, so it is difficult to meet other travellers.

Comments: it is the cheapest hostel I could find in Salamanca, it seemed like everything else was 30 Euro and up a night.. so it is the best way to go if you are on a budget. The staff were lovely and everything was clean. There is a safe for valuables... it was a place to sleep... not much more.

Comments: Hostel was okish. I see that a few people here complained that it was hard to meet other people due to the size of the dorms, but this was not a problem at all. However staff weren\'t overly friendly and the place did lack a common area to meet other people.

Comments: Not a bad hostel on the whole if you use it for travel. If you're a party maniac, this not where you're going to find it. Comfy beds, and a good location; all "sights" totally within walking distance... Only real downside is that there is no personal lockers - though you can leave things behind the desk - and that the hot water ran out by 9am - possibly incidental.
