Fuyez !!!!

Hôtel social mal entretenu, vieillissant, à la population bigarrée : tout y est douteux. Le gérant a tenté de m'escroquer pour la taxe de séjour entre trois coups de téléphone qui ont duré un bon quart d'heure et qu'il ne voulait pas abréger pour s'occuper de moi. L'odeur de remontée d'égouts dans la chambre m'a empêché de dormir. Je n'avais pas de savon, que la fin d'un rouleau de papier toilette pour 3 pipis, une chambre glacée avec une couverture qui puait la transpiration et un radiateur électrique dont les pieds étaient cassés et que je n'ai même pas tenté d'allumer, des draps tachés et trop courts et une serviette de bain tachée et grise au lieu de blanche... le bruit du frigo vieillot vous bercera sans nul doute toute la nuit : moi pas ! Les murs sont tellement fins que je n'ai pas perdu une miette des échanges de mon voisin avec une "invitée" dans sa chambre single puis de ses ronflements. En pleine crise sanitaire du Covid-19, et alors que tous les hôtels d'Espagne sont fermés par décret royal, la loi, l'hygiène et les gestes barrières semblent ne pas avoir atteint cet endroit ultra isolé du reste du monde dans un quartier où il ne fait pas bon traîner seule le soir... Le seul endroit où j'ai pu atterrir par dépit et où j'ai dormi toute habillée en voyage sans même risquer d'ouvrir ma valise... A bon entendeur...

Inizio col dire che l’accoglienza che non è stata sicuramente delle migliori. Arrivate nel posto una mezzora scarsa dopo l’orario previsto per il check-in, abbiamo dovuto aspettare più di mezzora senza avere nessuna notizia, quando un ragazzino che girovagava per la hall dell’ostello ci ha informate che avremmo dovuto aspettare che l’addetto al ricevimento finisse di consumare il suo pranzo. Una volta arrivato, al momento della registrazione, l’uomo ci ha chiesto 10 euro senza che precisasse il motivo di questa spesa e senza che ci rilasciasse alcuna ricevuta di pagamento; sapevamo invece che avremmo dovuto pagare 7.20 euro, corrispondenti alle “Tariffe hotel obbligatorie”. Ora arriviamo alla descrizione della stanza: la prima cosa che abbiamo constatato è stata la strettezza della stessa; tutto l’ambiente era pervaso da un fortissimo fetore di fogna, dato che il bagno non era separato da nessuna porta dalla stanza da letto, ma solo da una tendina a fili con perline. Avendo poi notato che le lenzuola erano sporche e macchiate, abbiamo chiesto che venissero cambiate, e nonostante le nuove fossero state tolte fuori da un pacco di plastica sigillato, anche queste erano comunque sporche. Su tutte le superfici della stanza e del bagno c’era una quantità immensa di capelli, peli e di macchie appiccicaticce. I sanitari del bagno erano sudici, la doccia era completamente ricoperta da spessi strati di sporco e muffa così come il muro, il quale per buona parte della sua superficie,

Last Resort Hostel

We arrived at 15.00, and waited 15 mins in reception for the very pleasant gentleman to arrive, in his shorts and shirtless from the shower, to show us our room. The most hideously decorated I have ever stayed in, shattered glass in the window and a dirty tatty curtain that didn't cover it. Single glazed and broken , it did little to keep out the noise of the busy street outside. Yes there was a microwave, and a fridge I wouldn't have put any food in, no tea/coffee facility. Shared wc/shower rooms of matching quality with broken shower fittings, apparently maintained by someone visually impaired with not even basic diy skills. Cannot imagine how this warrants 2 stars, and at 59€ our night was 100% overpriced. Owners obviously have no shame or pride.

Kom til hotellet og fikk beskjed om at vi hadde privat bad. Oppdager dagen etter at dette ikke stemmer, og at ting ofså har blitt stjålet. Håndklærne fremsto skitne, sjeldent rent bad og uhygienisk. Ikke vasking av rom. Og dusjen var enten iskald eller alt for varm, noe som gjorde at du hele tiden må stå å flytte den opp og ned på termometeret. Gode senger og midt i smørøyet!!

It was very basic. Very friendly. The lock on the door was comforting. It was located in a nice area.

Also we tried to come in rather late from partying but no one answered the door for 20 minutes.

Where do I start? Not only could you hear everything from within your room, and I mean everything... other peoples bowel habits, people throwing up, arguing... I had a knock on my door at 3am from the man who had checked me in. Coming to my room with a bottle of water asking if I want beers, I told him no and that I just wanted to go to sleep, he was persistent so I told him no again. He left and five minutes later there’s another knock on my door... there he is again, large bottle of beer in hand and a couple of plastic cups. This time he’s trying to come into my room, really pushing this beer. I kept saying no and eventually I managed to get rid of him. Really not sure what kind of behaviour this is, but as a female travelling alone having a man coming to your room, not once but twice after 3am trying to get alcohol in you. Really not okay, you should not feel unsafe in accommodation, too worried to fall asleep in case someone comes into your room. Overall - dodgy, uncomfortable and dirty... extremely unprofessional.

Price is adequate for what you end up with. We paid 15€/pP&night and got a room which was situated on the inside of the building and had no window at all. The condition of the room was overall ok (some other previous posters mentioned bugs which we cant confirm). Bring your own sleeping bags though.
