Alcaravaneras Hostel

Not recommended! At first there were problems with check-in: there was no one in the building in the evening, the phone number posted on the door did not answer. It turned out that I needed to contact a certain Maria on a completely different phone number so that she could provide the code and give further instructions. Why contact the guest in advance, right? Bourgeois excess. But here it is. I didn’t have a local SIM card 2 call. What If I didn’t have traffic left? Trapped then? Random guy from a hostel helped me [facepalming] The internet didn't work almost every evening. At all. The speed was poor. Cmon, guys, it’s almost 2024! Can’t you just pay €30 more to the provider?! The door lock to my room needs to be replaced - I struggled with it every day for a week. No soundproofing The room smelled very strange upon arrival One day there was no toilet paper in the common toilet Another day, the soap was removed. Why? Because! No elevator No furniture in the room Not enough lighting in the room - just one wall bulb. Avoid!

Check-in, keys & locks at your peril! The most difficult hostel experience ever! From not being able to enter upon arrival (remote entry) to constantly being locked out due to faulty keys & locks…even got locked in common bathroom and had to call emergency to get out. The Hostal is well cleaned and quiet, with lots of stairs. Top floor common kitchen & deck are comfortable and inviting. Cooperative guests (who had to let me in constantly). Facilities are well maintained (other than the important keys and locks). This issue put a huge damper on the experience.
