Nothing!
I loved the space and the interior. But what it really makes it great are the amazing volunteers. Special thanks to Alexia, Salma and Zala for making my time there unforgettable

The hostel was in a great location. The staff was exceptionally helpful and the facility was clean. They had activities for guests and a bar available in the evening. Many restaurants and shops nearby. The bed was comfortable and rooms and lockers were secure.

There wasn't anything that I necessarily did not like, however, during my stay, the guests were mostly young adults and I felt a bit out of place as a middle aged person. I was staying the night before departing to walk the Camino and I thought I might encounter other pilgrims, but no one that I encountered were there for that purpose. I was staying in a mixed dorm, perhaps if I was in a single room, I would have felt different.
