  : Good price, nice location, friendly staff. There are lockers in the room which you can use (but need 1euro coin)
  : Upper beds don't have any covers from the light, and there is also no smaller light that the people who come late could use. So if someone enters the room and turns on the lights if you already tried to sleep it's very annoying. The beds are making a bit of noise.

  : The Brazilian girl who worked there was very helpful and social. The others really didn't try anything to make a connection and weren't open and sociable. But I was there only 1 day so my experience was short.For the rest the accommodation is quite nice, clean, spacious. Big kitchen with useful utilities. Comfy bed and big rooms
  : I didn't like the ambience. Not very social and open but I was there for 1 day so my time was limited

  : Close to buses, center or main shops just 5-10min walk. Nice atmosphere between guests and staff. Flexible and human approach. Came back after few weeks again. Some staff changes (they run another Art hostel, more in centre), but was nice to see Marc again still there with good energy around. Mayo is live!? :)Definitely will think of staying if have availability when go back to island again
  : Sometimes needed wait minutes to use bathroom if 3 people decide to take shower at the same time. Just a toilet room, without shower, could be great if plan future changes to sort this.Some kitchen items, like pots and pans needs "update". Not even for guests but also volunteer's who not only work, but stay and cook food there too. Electric kettle could be great too (unless induction is cheaper). And understand issues with complaining for nothing from neighbours, but in morning terrace could be open earlier than than just 10am. Couldn't understand why other neighbours were doing repairs and sound of tools making noise from as early as before 9am is ok, but then have complains if people would be talking or having morning stretch on terrace similar time. No legal sociable hours in Spain/Canaries, like 8am till 22pm?

  : It was as I would expected it to be: a hostel. Especially I liked other travellers. I met some good people there.
  : Sleeping was hard. Seemed to me the only way to circulate air is through open window. Some people wanted close the curtain for the night. Also some wanted to almost close the window for the night. Air quality was bad in upper bunk. Maybe bunk just below window had fresh or even cold air, but I felt like 5 people in that room was too much.

  : Roof terrace
  : Staff was absent, one time one staffer walked through our room at 01:00 and left the door outside open. Only three toilets, all with showers in the same room. Had to wait several times for more than ten minutes just to go to the toilet. Several times there was no paper in the bathroom. Staff closed the roof terrace so they could have peace, but they did not intervene when guests were loud at late hours. There were a lot of insects in the kitchen. I left a piece of bread packed in paper in my basket and the morning after it was crawling with small bugs.

Disappointing

  : Quiet neighbourhood, some ethnic restaurants nearby. Residential middle class area.
  : Too cramped for the size of rooms with 6 beds in 3 bunks. Hardly any furniture except - no place to leave any stuff except for the cluttered balcony. Nowhere to sit except in the tiny lobby where staff was occupying the sofas for a bday party. Bright ceiling light right at your head - bring a cloth to cover it. No privacy whatsoever if you need to sleep in the upper bunk as only lower bunks have curtains. Luckily, I am snoring too and was way to exhausted to get bothered by two drunk Estonians. Shower was cold in the morning....bummer! Nobody seems to be in charge of cleaning bathrooms. It's all DIY.
