Positive experience:
It is a hostel with an excellent price. Good quality / price ratio and above all, well below the average for accommodation in the area. It is a very familiar place, the owner is very friendly and is especially attentive to everything. In addition, there is a parking lot right in front, free of charge, for everyone's peace of mind. The rooms are still those of a hostel, but they bother a lot with cleaning (they make your room every day), since everything is perfect (sheets, bathroom, floor ...); and they are not small at all. A point against? Dont have a elevator. It is a first floor, yes, but carrying the suitcases is never pleasant. In short, if the word "hostel" scares you, don't be afraid and book here. You will not be disappointed if you are looking for accommodation to enjoy the Costa Brava out of any luxury.

Fantastic experience:
Hostel located in the heart of Pals (the street that crosses it), very well attended by Rafel. Well-equipped and clean rooms. The only buts, the mattress too hard, and that there is no breakfast service, but they themselves advise you nearby places to eat it. I advise the Maimir, right next door.

I have not had the opportunity to vacation in this hostel due to a problem with my leg and knee. But I have been amazed by the excellent treatment, affection and humanity of the owners. They have won me over as a customer and today with all the competition it is not an easy thing, I will return in September, thank you from the heart.

Positive experience:
A hostel that kicks many hotel chains a thousand times. Close treatment, quiet area, free parking in front with surveillance, impeccable cleaning and although they do not offer breakfast, the bar next door is perfect and cheap for it. To put one downside, the mattress that we had was spring and I noticed it somewhat uncomfortable and the rooms do not have a balcony. I will repeat without a doubt. A greeting!

Positive experience:
Comfortable and clean hostel, central and ideal for passing through. The receptionist Mr. very friendly and helpful. Very correct free parking right outside the door.
Translated from Spanish
Positive experience:
Taking into account that it is a hostel it is very good, the only thing that if or if it would change are the mattresses, after a few days you go out even with pain after the springs stick in you everywhere. The room overlooks a patio in which they have an engine that does not stop making noise until late at night. If you have a deep sleep it is your hostel, but if you have it light as in my case you have a very bad night. Otherwise friendly staff, clean rooms and free parking.

I am delighted with this hostel! We are spending 2 nights and the room very clean and air conditioning that works great. Very good attention, the hostel receptionist recommended very good places to eat in the area. It also has private parking right in front. A great place especially if you come to the White Summer Festival. The only complaint (in a more personal way) is that the mattress is a bit hard.

Everything impeccable. It is a hostel in the town of Pals that is very well located to visit both the beautiful town and the surroundings. The rooms are simple without missing absolutely nothing. They have a fridge which is greatly appreciated. The air conditioning being centralized is very quiet. Cleanliness is undoubtedly its strong point along with the kindness of the man who attended us. All this together with the civility of the people who stayed in the adjoining rooms has allowed us to spend an unforgettable vacation. Thanks for everything, we will be back soon.

Perfect value for money, located in the beautiful medieval town of Pals, near the best sites of Bajo Ampurdán and Costa Brava. Small rooms with everything you need, clean and very well maintained, in my case the whole room was renovated. You have parking available at the hostel right next door for free. The staff is very attentive and the breakfasts although they do not have much variety, it must be said that the criossants are great!
