  : Shared facilities like bathroom and kitchen were a little bit dirty and cramped but overall served it's purpose. So many flys??

  : Private rooms, with a view, at 23euros, which was real plus!I was able to borrow a bike, a pretty basic one but it made getting around town and to distant locales much easier. However, don't rely on this as it's not a guaranteed perk. Just rent one in town.Dinner can be added for an extra 12 euros and the chef is terrific. The fish dishes were outstanding.If you like cats, they're super cute!Really nice historic, palatial, former convent or monastery atop a hill in a historic residential area.
  : The main host and staff speak Spanish and Catalan and have little interest in speaking English or even a mix of English and Spanish. Probably since most visitors to this part of Costa Brava are from Spain or France. So don't expect much information from them about the hostel, Palafrugcel, or surroundings, including the amazing coastal town of Calella de Palafrugcel, I discovered while exploring the area on the mountain bike. I had more success with my moderate Spanish talking with a guest who didn't speak any English but was interested nevertheless in communicating.

  : This is great value for the money. I booked a private room with shower and got exactly that, with 3 single beds. The location was perfect for my needs and there was plenty of parking just up the street. The window in the room faced west and gave a nice view of the large garden on the property. Just be aware that this room (107) might get very hot during the summer months due to its exposure.
  : The room needed a quick clean-up .. I found black hairs on the floor and several boot prints. All of the three beds had rather poor mattresses which were very hard. On the exterior wall there was a very bright light that was on all night and shone straight in the room. The curtains weren't dense enough to stop it from illuminating the room. So, this might have been something that could have been turned off upon request had I known about it.
