The hostel offers a barbecue. The dorm was pretty spacious and each bunk had lockers. The facilities are really nice and the staff it's very friendly. It was the perfect place to work since it's a small hostel with not many people so it's usually quite. One of the best hostel I've ever been! I had so much fun with Pavones (the cat) 🐈.
