Purple Nest Hostel

The location of this hostel is great—it's very close to public transport and the city center. The staff were also wonderful and very friendly. The breakfast was typical for a hostel, and you are expected to clean and rinse your own dishes afterward. This was my first time staying in a mixed-gender dorm with three men, but it was a perfectly fine experience as there were no spots available in the female dorm. The bathrooms and showers were clean. A small suggestion would be to add hooks inside the shower stalls for clothes, as the ones on my floor seemed to be missing. I stayed in early August during a heatwave. The room had fans, which helped a little, but it was still quite hot. This is something to be aware of if you're traveling during the summer. Overall, it's a good place to stay for its location and friendly atmosphere.

Very central structure, friendly and super welcoming staff, comfortable bed with plastic cover, clean bathrooms and I didn't hear any noise at night. We had a fault with the lights and sockets that they promptly repaired the next day. You meet lots of people from all over the world, it's a great way to meet people and improve your English.

The location is perfect. In the centre of the city very near to the bus and metro station for going to the beach. The room was big and the bed was very comfortable with curtains. The bathroom was nice and clean. There is also a very big common area. The best part are activities that hostel organizes. Every day is something different. Some days are free dinners, other days are classes of drink preparation, painting, salsa, then walking tours, pub crow, going to beach or picnic. It is a very interesting place to meet people and socialize. The breakfast is also available. Reception works 24 hours and they are very nice and professional.

The staff are absolutely wonderful! The location is ideal, making it perfect for exploring. The breakfast is reasonably priced and quite decent for what you pay. While there’s a noticeable lack of vegetarian options, it’s still worth it overall!

Amazing location. Beds had curtains which allowed for more privacy. Kitchen was really well equipped, and the common areas were really comfortable and spacious. The highlight for me was the staff. They were all super friendly and helpful and had really good recommendations regarding where to go and where to eat :) Also, during most of our stay there was free food at lunch and dinner which was a really pleasant surprise (the curry was delicious).
