  I would give 1 star but at least the location is beautiful, in the centre, cheap and the coffee for breakfast is good. The Wifi isn't. Renting rooms without heating while night temperatures are around zero is a crime to me, especially because their page tells they have a central heating. But of course it is "just temporarily not working" and "will be fixed". Changing the room wasn't possible. Interesting fact is that the heating in the office is working... So the rooms are cold, the bathrooms are freezing and there is no place to heat up because the TV room is not heated as well. But if your lucky the sun heats it up a bit. And if that wouldn't be enough: they serve breakfast in the yard. Don't come here when outside temperatures are low!

  Cheap. Comfy beds. Nice shared space. It is super cold in this place though. Some heating would be nice - but I suppose you get what you pay for!

  Well, I want to give them a 3 but the only real problem is that I think I was a little too old to be staying here and am used to more privacy so I can't fault the hostal for that. The staff are friendly and helpful, the building is historic and the location is central. If you're in your early 30s and under and don't mind shared bathrooms, and maybe have your own towel then great! This is be a great place to meet other travelers and a great value. If you're older or have issues with any of the above then you're going to have to spend more and stay elsewhere.

  El lugar tiene una infraestructura hermosa. Es gigante. Los colchones están viejos y aplastados. Las duchas no están del todo limpias. Es económico. Dicen que el desayuno es buffet pero no lo es. De todos modos está muy bien.

  Do yourself a favour and avoid this place. We stayed at a different hostel for one night before moving to this one because of the cheap rates, and we really lived to regret it. Yes, the location is great and rooms are cheap. BUT consider this: - there's no heating despite freezing temperatures at night, which means I ended up with a massive cold - you're not allowed to take blankets from any spare beds, allegedly because they are fully booked. When we stayed there, they had at least 50% capacity - staff is rude, dismissive and dishonest - there's no kitchenware or pots in the kitchen, you have to borrow everything at a deposit, which is weird. Also you pay for your rooms in advance, which is not normal - the mine tour they're offering is not run by an ex-miner as advertised and the whole organisation is underwhelming. Seriously, spend 3 Euros more per night and stay at a lovely hostel just around the corner from this place.
