Alhambra Zoom

The hostel was quiet and the beds were comfy, so I'd recommend it if a good night's sleep is what you're after. The dorm beds are large and have power outlets, lights, a small shelf, and curtains. The kitchen doesn't offer much, though I managed to put a meal together. The shower in my room never got hot, so I used the shared one in the hall. That one was nice and hot, but its head wouldn't stay in the holder, which was awkward.

The location is great and the price is very good. The kitchen is poorly equipped, but you're in Spain, where there are a thousand affordable places to get great food for 2 euros. The mattresses could be more comfortable.

My room was pretty small, but it was very clean, convenient, and had everything I needed. The rooms are the best thing about this place. Water leaked everywhere from the shower, though they fixed it quickly. I'd stay here again.

Most of the rooms were cramped and unbearably hot, and the hot water came and went. But the worst part was what happened to the six girls in our group of fifteen university students. They woke up to bed bugs crawling across their sheets. Staff kept blaming them, even though the hostel log they showed us listed repeated bed bug problems. The girls' clothes were eventually washed, but the staff member handling them that night got angry and wouldn't finish on time. On the second night the girls were moved to another room. Staff said they'd checked it for bugs, though I seriously doubted that, and its bathroom was out of order, marked with a big X. We were all really upset with the staff and the service. Easily the worst place I've ever stayed.
