A Room In The City Hostel offers both shared and private rooms, all are bright and modern with city views. Rooms have either single beds or bunk beds, and there is a sink in each one. They have access to shared bathrooms and showers.

Wonderful location. So close to the beautiful beach & the Old town, to everything really. My Bed was most comfortable & I loved that it was in a capsule with a curtain. Everything was clean and I was warm. The drawer under the bed is large so all my things were safely stowed away. The bracelet idea is great, so the opener to the front door, the bedroom and the storage box are always on you. The showers & toilets are clean, there's place to hang your stuff.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Hostel dormitory setup is great, very safe place, good internet, great shower. Kind people at the desk. Location, even having to walk a little bit to the main beach is really not that far. If you want to go to the center takes a little more but anyway, you are there to know the place, walking is a good option.

    Great location for us. It was about 10 to 15 min walk to the old town and Beach of La Concha but also cafes, bars, and restaurants in the area near the hotel and especially just across the river. The room had a bunk bed (perfect for our children) and a queen bed (for us). It was a little tight but then again, that is what you expect from an economy hotel. It was clean. The bathroom was large with nice shower.

    Amazing spaces VERY well thought/designed, one of the best if not the best hostel I've ever been, and I've been around... every bed has a big lockable drawer half the size of a bed, lovely staff, secure and safe place, curtains on every bed, electronic bracelet keys for entering the facilities, the room and the lockers.
