Residencia Bulls

This place was awful. It was very difficult to find as you have to go through an iron gate to get to it and then figure out which buitton to buzz. Good luck finding it at night. When we arrived there it tuns out that the "hostel" is more like somebody's apartment. The reception is practically the hall closet. There is a door on one room that doesn't lock and the other room only has beads hanging on it. There is nowhere to lock your luggage, only a small box, smaller than a shoe box is given to you to lock up your valuables at a charge of €1 each time you lock it. IThe place did not feel safe at all. It is very dark and dirty. We left immediately and found much better accommodation.

I've stayed in quite a few hostels in Spain, and Bull's is by far the best! They make you feel like part of the family. Everyone is so friendly, happy and approachable. The atmosphere is very relaxed and happy. There's no curfew, which is great. There's a really clean kitchen you can use, and they have a store cupboard full of oils and herbs and stuff you might need. Every traveler staying at the hostel whilst we were there said it was the best hostel they had stayed in! We were lucky to get in because we didn't book, we just turned up!

The location, in the center of the city, is good. But there are no signs indicating that you are at the right place. Additionally, there is a "for rent" sign hanging next to the door and the inside looks dark. You have to get past an iron get to get to the building door. But the opening to the gate is difficult to distinguish — there are two and the farthest one is locked. It's a really poor welcome to the hostel and to the city. I left and found another hostel, which was perfect.
