Arena Nest Hostel

The hostel had such a lovely vibe and energy. The team and the other guests were all amazing and really friendly. I had a wonderful stay and couldn’t recommend it more.

I had a really pleasant time here and would happily return. The staff were amazing, everyone was super friendly, and the atmosphere was lovely.

I spent two weeks at this lovely hostel in Tenerife. They have several locations around the island, which gives you options for your adventures or the area you want to stay in. Staff and coworkers were more than helpful with questions and information. I’d highly recommend it if you want to move around the island or enjoy whichever side you prefer.

Compared with three years ago, the hostel feels like a rundown, lifeless shell of what it was. There’s no fun, and the people seemed weird. Breakfast used to be included, but now they say regulations mean they can’t offer it. The price has still gone up considerably. The whole chain feels built around mass tourism and maximum profit, with signs everywhere telling you what to do. Before arrival we were spammed with emails pushing an unnecessary online check-in, even though we’d already provided all the required information when booking. After checkout, another email arrived reminding us to complete that check-in. I don’t need a check-in just to get the door code, Wi-Fi, and bed number. They could send those to the contact details I already gave them, as other accommodations do. In our double room, the balcony door wouldn’t lock. The doors were loud, especially when people didn’t know how to close them quietly. The bed shook a lot, so you won’t sleep well if your bed neighbor is active.
