Great if you wanna stay in Gibraltar overnight, otherwise I think it’s too expensive for what it is. Also there is no kitchen available, and very few plugs in the rooms.

Like other reviews say, Really not worth the money, for that price you can try to find a Hotel. It lacks basic facilities like a Kitchen and security features like Locked doors.

The worst hostel ever. I even emailed customer service of the website but they never got back to me. I’ll never book through this app again. If you can, book a hotel, it’s really not worth the money

apparently 2 is the lowest review one can leave on the website (haven’t gotten that far down before), and i think that is very fair for this place. skip it if you’re in town, book a hotel

Good things first: the location is really nice, you have a lot within a hundred metres. Really good showers are always appreciated. The bad: the beds are extremely uncomfortable! You have a metal bar going across the middle of the bed that is killing all chances of good sleep. Also, there is no kitchen, not even a microwave. The communal area looks like a something from a prison, totally uninviting.

It's not too bad, but it is a bit expensive for the price.... It is a very basic hostel. Nothing exceptional. You share the toilet with the guests from the bar. Although I suppose they are all regulars and they won't touch your stuff, the place could've done with lockers or at least a lock on the door

The hostel is old, but in a fun way. The location is quite good with easy access to the local bus, groceries, and walking around. The beds are squeaky and it is right next to a major road, which means that earplugs are a requirement. But that’s typical for hostels!

I was put in building where it looked like nursing home detached from the hostel cottage itself.

Just what my wife and I needed when we realised that we’d need an extra night in Gibraltar. We got married in Gibraltar a few days later and Manuel and Jean came to be our witnesses! Thank you

Just a short walk away from the Airport and not far away from anywhere else in Gibraltar. Staff were really helpful and accomodating. Great value and great stay!

I'd like to be able to at least use a microwave because eating ou5 in Gib is not the cheapest place if you are on a budget.

The hostel is close to the city center and easy to reach by bus and on foot (from La Línea de la Concepción). It is a simple hostel with no kitchen and no laundry facilities. I stayed in a 6-bed dormitory. The room had no air conditioning and you only get a key for the front door; the rooms cannot be locked (but you can have a key for a communal locker in the lounge). Showers and toilets are in the hallway and I would say are adequate for the size of the hostel. The beds are simple, with no pr...

Buon posto in cui stare se si vuole visitare Gibilterra. La posizione è ottima, l’ostello è vicinissimo alla piazza principale. Il bagno e le camere sono pulite. All’esterno c’è una piccola zona con tavolini e sedie e una living room interna. La cucina si può usare solo quando è presente l’host.

A very basic hostel. No AC, showers ok. Good location near Casemates and 15 minutes walk to Spain. Just use it to sleep.

Had a nice kitchen but you can’t use it. The only hostel in Gibraltar. The staff was friendly and it was clean. I would say it needs some art, and it would be nice if the kitchen was available for use. Other than that it’s pretty bland hence the suggestion about art, maybe bring a muralist or two.

Its okay but i definitly won't come back! when i arrived (during check in time) it was closed so i called the number at the reception. i had to wait !40 minutes! until someone came to let me in. also there is no atmosphere at all its very empty and just old people around. The beds are old and not comfy. there is no ac so u are boiling in the room. for that price you can get an airbnb or hotel on the spanish side of the border so better stay there
