Koisi Hostel

駅と中心地からは徒歩35分ほどの距離にあり、さらに坂道の上にあるので中心地に滞在したい人には少し不便に感じる場面も。しかし海岸沿いを歩きながらホステルまで行くことができるので楽しみながら歩くことができた。 シャワー室にはドライヤーも設置されており、かなり快適なホステルだった。チェックインはオンラインで、ホステルにはレセプションがないのには注意が必要。

I was emailed a code to get into the property, there was no one on reception to welcome me. I booked in a hurry and my bad, didnt realise this is a digital property, I have never heard of such a thing. I managed to get into the building, found the room numbering system very confusing, the lovely cleaning man who spoke no English assisted me to my room where we discovered my door code would not open the dorm room door. After ten tries he went and got a card and I managed to open at door. It was at this point that an ungodly stench, reminiscent of a football team locker room after a game, hit me in the face. It was absolutely disgusting. There were five sweaty guys in their marinating in each others stench. It was after midnight, I was exhausted, I went to bed. Immediately in the morning I went to the front desk and asked to be moved, there was a bit of mucking about because the lovely girl there was only admin and had to call someone else who had to call me back...the answer was pretty straight - You booked a share room, deal with it. I asked for a refund and was told No. I took breakfast which was extremely basic. I had to return to the room, opened the curtains and the window as wide as it would go to air the room out. I'd say this place isn't bad unless you have an issue, then you are on your own. The facilities are pretty average. They have only one washing machine and dryer for the entire hostel and the bathrooms on my floor, the toilet was half broken and only one out of two showers had a door that locked. It is quite far from the center of town. To top it off, I had twice emailed the hostel to advise I have a disability and require a bottom bunk and to ask if they have a private fridge where I could store my medication. They never responded and my meds need to be in the fridge, I had no choice but to leave them in the very small and hardly sterile or secure, common room fridge. When I retrieved the bag on the last day, more than half my medicine was missing. Very expensive and much needed medicine. I came away with a six month supply, now reduced to six weeks and I can not afford to replace them. Not a happy camper but what can you do ? I left but hey, it is cheap and you might have a better experience.

Lovely hostel, well located not far from a beautiful and safe beach with lifeguards. If you come from the train station by bus, it is only 5-8 minutes ride. I liked the bags on the wall by the bed head, very practical. Breakfast is typical Spanish, I enjoyed the fresh made tortilla. I paid 158€ for 3 nights in July, this is very reasonable for the high season. Few disappointing points : I haven't noticed the pillow and bed linen were in the locker in the room as I arrived very late at night. I believe it was not written on the website so this would be very useful information to display. Lucky the girls sharing my room came back after me and showed me. I also would have appreciate a sink in the kitchen and cutlery.
