The Hostelz.com Review
Red Nest Hostel is a large, colorful hostel in a good location about a ten-minute walk from the train station. The hostel's best asset is a very friendly, social atmosphere. It attracts a very diverse crowd of people of all ages, even families with children, from all over the world.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are decent, equipped with fans to keep you cool in the hot Spanish summer. Each room also has lockers for luggage storage, but guests must bring their own lock or buy one from the front desk. Because of the abundance of young partiers, hostel-sponsored pub crawls, and the hostel's location on a busy street, rooms can be very noisy at night.
Common Spaces
Hostel facilities include a kitchen, dining area, game and TV room, computers (pay per half-hour), and a rooftop terrace where the coin-operated laundry machine is located. The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, silverware, and plates, and guests are welcome to store food in the refrigerators and take from or contribute to the "Common Food" area. Coffee and tea are provided free.
Summary
The hostel is very social. Visitors can always be found relaxing in the game room, chatting on the roof, or cooking a snack. The hostel provides organized pub crawls, a map of the city, and a list of nightclubs and restaurants to help travelers explore Valencia nightlife.

The lockers were a good size...
They did have a few facilities like a pool table and computers but you needed to pay for them...
They had the weather forecast pinned up...
The building itself was nice with a lot of potential.

It was cheap, and in a good location for shopping/seeing the old city. It had an elevator which was nice, and a common floor with a bar that was a good hangout for nighttime. Also, the kitchen was quite large and kept clean.

One of my favourite hostels so far with lots of social events on every day. Good kitchen and bar area. Seems like a cleaner is on 24-7. Good social place in a great location.

Convenient, clean, & safe I stayed here 3 days in July 2007. Huge rooms with big lockers, laundry on roof, big game room. Staff very friendly. Clean bathrooms & hot water. Elevator nice I was on 3rd floor. Huge kitchen next to computer room. Convenient to get around different places. I was there during America's Cup. Crazy fun. Would stay there again & recommend it to anyone of any age. — Dinah , USA (2008-01-19) The best hostel I have ever stayed in. Huge kitchen, fantastic terrace with pool table, TV, books, nice comfy couches, colourful bathrooms, bedrooms, even the kitchen is colourful! One of the best things is the cleanliness, there was always someone cleaning! I met so many great people in this hostel and I felt so comfortable here that I felt as if it were my home! If Valencia is your destination then you have to stay here! — Zara (2006-11-22) we stayed here as a family of six. we found the central location ideal as we could walk to the sites to be seen in the beautiful city of valencia. the accommodation suited our needs and the staff were really friendly and helpful. i would recommend this hostel to single or family travelers. — bryn pass (2006-09-10) Great hostel! The best one I have ever stayed in! The location is great, really in the centre, and perfect if you want to go out at night (they even give you a free drink in the bar La Claca if you stay in this hostel!) The kitchen was great, with a very good atmosphere. We met a lot of new people there with who we went to the beach, or go for drink. I found it very clean, very friendly staff, and good beds. If you arrive there in the weekend, i would advise to book in advance. — lien (2006-08-09) One of the best hostels we stayed at during our month long trip. Absolutely amazing and friendly staff who speak great English. Clean bathrooms and rooms, and very fun decor. It's also in a great part of town and very social. The staff got a big group of us to go out together and it was a lot of fun to meet everyone else. This place is highly recommended! — Kathleen (2006-06-16) It's definitive the best hostel I have ever slept at, its a 5 star hostel, superb kitchen, great atic and communal area, superb location right in the heart of the city, awesome building.......i cant say anything a bad thing about the place....I would highly recommend to anyone that likes to interact with others backpackers....if a friend of mine goes to Valencia i would say go to Nest...Go there and feel alive. — Martina (2005-12-19) I didn't enjoy my time at this hostel. Sure it had pretty painted walls, and a big kitchen, however the bathrooms were filthy, and smelled funny. The Internet didn't work very well, and being a big hostel, there was always a long wait for one of the computers. Only one guy at reception was nice. The rest all seemed like they didn't care to be there. Also watch out, my last night there, I discovered bedbugs in my bed. Gross!! My advice being — go elsewhere. — Anonymous (2005-08-27) 1st class hostel. I was here last year. Great location, great staff, colourful building, great kitchen with balcony veiw, great rooms, and great lounge with pool table. Leather suites, dvd, tv, ect.,ect. Gooo! Excellent shower facilities. — ricky mlellan-glasgow celtic (2005-08-05) This is the best hostel I stayed at in Europe. Clean, funky and loads of fun. The staff are really nice and friendly and show you the best night spots. The kitchen, free laundry and cheap Internet are great. Don't stay anywhere else in Valencia. Kiwi Dan — the best!! — Anonymous NZ (2005-07-23) Absolutely amazing...free laundry is such a blessing when you live out of a backpack. The kitchen blew my mind, and everything was so clean and modern. Plus it's close to a grocery store, and the beach bus is right across the street! — Kelly from Canada (2005-07-06) The best hostel ever. Not only were the people I met there superb, but the staff were great. It had an awesome kitchen, nice decor, and was clean. This place has everything going for it. Highly recommended. — Helen K (2005-05-13)
