Great place to stay! Very friendly and helpful stuff; great location between the train station and the old town. Very clean, modern and safe hostal. The only downside: The residencia is situated in a rather rough neighbourhood. Watch your purse and camera if you walk down San Frantzisko Kalea!

La collocazione dell'ostello è in una parte non bella della città , però è ben collegato con i mezzi pubblici e tutto il resto è ottimo.

This is quite possibly the best place Ive ever stayed for such a low price. Perfect getaway after a rough week in Pamplona getting covered in Sangria - its quiet, clean, extremely efficient and very friendly

This is a student dorm. Unfortunately it is situated in a red lights district with many colored people standing in the streets whole day and night, but we didn't feel even the slightest discomfort walking in the streets at night. Not really a bad neighborhood. It is very close to the old city center (about 5 minutes walking), and it is very clean. Very nice place to stay.

the hostel has very good quality, the beds are amazing, really good. the room big. I would come back to this hotel. there is only one thing to worry about: during the night there is not very good people in the street around the hotel, there is people selling drugs, etc. I didn't have problems with them... but they are there

It\'s a University Dorm, plain and simple. There was nobody else on our floor, so it was very quiet and peaceful. It\'s good coffee and drink machines, and we somehow managed to spend about 4 hours in the computer room downloading photos- not sure if that is supposed to be included, but it sure helped. First impressions of the area are a little sketchy, but once we got our bearings we had no complaints. (Actually just one, the beds made a horrible squeaking noise everytime you moved)

If you´re on a budget and want the option of self catering this is it! It is very clean and fairly well located, yes a bit of a walk to the Guggenheim but you get to see many other parts of the town along the way! With free internet, a laundry downstairs and gym to boot you can´t miss. (there is also a foosball (sp?)and pool table available)

this hostel is on a street called calle cortes and about 100 yards away are hookers selling themselves! Depending on what end of the street you approach the hostel from you have to walk past them! The street running parallel, San Francisco is one to stay well clear of, the dodgiest street I have ever been on. bad area but good hostel
