La Casita de Arrecife

It was a good atmosphere

Everything was great

Staff was very friendly, good location, near the center and bus stops. They cleaned every day. Good price. Good mattresses.

Some things were a little bit old or some parts in the bathroom were made of wood and constantly got wet, so smelt a bit moldy. No reading lamps in each bed, just the one main lamp in the room, so you hope you have considerate roommates.

The hostel was clean and well maintained. The location is convenient, close to the bus station. The contactless system was convenient and easy to use.

The rooms are extremely small for a dormitory. In my experience, hostels usually have larger shared rooms, but here the rooms felt more like regular rooms converted into dorms. There is very little space, which makes staying there less comfortable, especially with luggage. The bathroom is too small for the number of people using it — there should be more bathrooms available. The price is quite high considering the size and facilities offered.

The key collection box was difficult to use making it tricky to enter until you got the hang of it. There seemed to be a lot of long term residents some people were working on laptops in the hostel kitchen making it hard to have a conversation with anyone- it felt like you were intruding in someone's office. The shared bedroom was small and the other guest seemed to be living there permanently judging by the amount of stuff he had there and the way he came in late and was happy to wake everyone up speaking loudly and leaving the light on as if he owned the place and I was intruding.
