Albergue Gran Canaria

LikedStaff was extremely helpful, even with the issues which are non of their matter. All the areas were clean. Bus stop is as close as possible. Breakfast was totally fine for the value.

DislikedLocation is little bit far from the city center, but obviously this is mentioned in description. If you plan walk to the beach, it could take a while.

LikedBeautiful interior design

DislikedBreakfast table is located next to toilets - not such a good idea given there is plenty of space to avoid this. No hand towels in bathroom for days. It felt uncomfortable sometimes when owner was cooking in shared kitchen or cleaning property - please remember guests are on holiday and pick up on small annoyances.

LikedVery clean, well-kept and tidy hostel. We stayed in a double room with a shower, the toilets are in a separate room in the corridor, but each room has its own toilet, so it is still private. Very well-equipped lobby and kitchen, the hostel provides a basic breakfast, but if you want to cook something, no problem, the kitchen has everything you need. Very nice hostel owners, helpful, cheerful and always advises where to go and what to see 🤗😊

DislikedSmoking is strictly prohibited throughout the building and on the terrace, but maybe that's a good thing 😉 There is no parking, but if you are lucky enough you can find on street parking of which there is plenty in the area.

LikedThis was my second visit, I was once again impressed by the staff, they are very friendly and helpful, the building and it's facilities, it is kept very clean, the en suite shower is good, the free breakfast is a nice touch, the communal spaces are good places to use, the bus stop is metres from the front door, the service will take you into Las Palmas, there is a nice coffee shop, bakery and local bars close to the hostel, I am looking forward to my next visit, I would recommend.

DislikedI was in the same room as my previous visit, unfortunately my last 2 nights I slept on a sofa on landing, I made this decision due to 2 other guests who kept me awake with their snoring and mumbling while they slept, I did not allow this to spoil my stay, the check in time could be better.

LikedThe best hostel I’ve EVER stayed at!!! The building was super well maintained and beautiful, the bed and rooms were overall comfy, everything was really well cleaned every single day and the staff was exceptional! There was lots of common areas for working as well. The location is a bit far from the center, BUT it was actually a good thing, since it felt really nice to come back to a peaceful area at the end of the day. There’s a large grocery store 5min walk away and the nearest bus stop was right in front of the hostel. Remember to buy a bus card for the local buses to get cheaper rides!

DislikedI work remotely and I had to get some work done every day, which is why I chose this peaceful place with nice common areas. However, sometimes I felt like some of the staff didn’t like that I was there and not out and about while they were cleaning. I guess they thought that everyone there was just on a holiday and could be exploring the island all the time :) Other than that, the place was wonderful for working during the day. Breakfast was mostly carbs, so bring your own protein etc, which you can safely store in the fridge.
