Hostal Athenas

Clean rooms, they cleaned very thoroughly everyday. Everything you need nearby, mercado, bakeries, parking spots, metro, playground. Value for money hostel and would stay again.

Toilet had a foul smell from pipework, but when we mentioned, they used bleach and it was gone. Sound insulation is low could hear snoring and alarms from other rooms.

Clean, comfortable, good-sized room which had a fridge and utensils, working air conditioner, and even if I didn’t use it, a body wash with no parabens. There were many fruit and vegetable stores in the area which seemed to have cheaper options.

A bit far from the center. Needs planning to account for traffic if taking ride hailing services (not metro or bus). Staff were not always responsive on time through the app prior to the stay. Was not expecting room to be cleaned while I was away since I did not put out a sign for cleaning. Bathroom sink was the smallest I have ever seen. Water in the shower did not seem to heat up sufficiently on the last day. Could not figure out how to change the language on the TV. Suggestions: 1. Have an option to hang a do not disturb sign on the door. If there was a sign, I couldn’t find it. 2. Also provide dish washing soap since plates, glasses, and other utensils are provided. 3. Would be nice to have a kettle for boiling water and mugs for tea. 4. I know it’s hard to change the sink, and I know it seems to be unusual in Spain, but a bidet would be good to have in the toilet. 5. Printed instructions for the TV would be helpful (assuming there are options to change the language).

Good location, easy access, very clean rooms

I felt strong smell of bleach

The checkin with passcode.

the bathroom door was full of mold. The floor was dirty, the courtains were dirty, you can't leave your luggage because they have like 10 lockers for the entire hostel, the walls are thin like paper.
