  : The people working there were nice. Also there were some free things to use such as bananas, eggs and spices.
  : To be honest, its not worth its price. We paid 70 for room a night. The room was just white and the beds were not comfortable at all, the pillows were thin and it was just a bed and a closet and a desk. For that price you can get so much more in the area.Also, we noticed that a lot of (spanish) friendgroups came into the hostel, for us who didnt know any spanish, it was hard to communicate and people werent as open as we thought they would be. The northern of Gran Canaria is also very somber, and the beaches are black. We eventually ended up going to the south of Gran Canaria after 2 days (even though we booked 6 days at the hostel) , the price of 3 nights at a luxe apartment with swimmingpool, own bedroom and bathroom, was the same price as 1 night staying at the hostel while it was so much sunnier there, cleaner, and so much more comfortable because we had more facilities.also notice theres a non-refund policy.i only recommend this hostel if you want to surf, because thats the only reason you should go to Gran Canaria. The waves are amazing. The beaches not, just the waves. But notice that the rental of surf boards are very expensive in the area, for a suit and a board you pay like 25 for 2 hours surfing. and there isnt much else to do in the neighbourhood but shop. the staff was amazing tho and tried to keep everything as clean as possible, which made our two nights that we stayed much more comfortable. you can also lend towels if you want, which is great
