It has a bed and breakfast feel, and yet it truly is a hotel. The only reason its called a hostel is because it doesnt have an elevator, and the rooms are close to each other. Otherwise, the location is excellent, the beds are very very comfortable. The pillows are tempur so you may want to call ahead and ask if they offer different pillows. Its a charming building and very well maintained and clean.
I made the mistake of not staying here (i was at Hotel Parasol which was awful!), but my mom...

We liked the polite multilingual staff, nightly entertainment, reasonably priced daily specials, great location, beautiful premises right on the boardwalk, free airport transfers, spacious rooms, bathrooms & balconies. Just wished that the kitchenette had a microwave & some more counter space. Will definitely stay there again.

I have been traveling around Spain and this is the best hostel I have stayed at so far. The location is amazing, close to sights, restaurants, and 15 min from the beach. The pods provide privacy and is reasonably priced compared to private rooms in most hostels. The place is clean and you can drink free coffee all day! It's close to another hostel and both have events so it's easy to meet other travelers. Sophia and Irene were just wonderful, always smiling and patiently answering everyone's...

This hostal is in the city center, the staff was amazing, the facilities are very clean and maintained. The room had a small fridge and air conditioner and the room and bathroom were spotless! The only downside was parking, however there’s a public parking lot about a quarter a mile away.
