Hostal La Lonja

Litet rum, men rent och centralt beläget. Trevlig personal som bara pratar spanska

nära centrum, trevlig personal. Bra pris

Dålig säng. Saknade kylskåp på rummet. Mycket oväsen från gatan, AC-n inbyggd i väggen, dålig ljudisolerad.

Bra dusch.

OK för billig penning, dålig ac och alldeleles för hård säng, så sömnen blev inte den bästa.

Location as stayed before the refurbishment and liked it as it was.

Would like to have been told they were doing work at the hotel as was very noisy and banging and crashing from 0800-2100 so will not be returning.

The location was perfect. The service was also fine. People try to do their best.

It was very noisy in the night because there is a bar nearby and the local people are celebrating the whole night, all the nights :)

Modest room in the city centre, 24h convenience stores nearby.

The receptionist had us sign some lengthy data security agreement written in Spanish “for our own good”. He was yelling at us for two minutes, aggressively urging me to sign, while we were trying to read through the fine print first. Eventually, I signed with “I don’t speak Spanish,” which he apparently didn’t notice. He calmed down immediately and was quite friendly for the rest of our stay.

I was quite impressed with the accommodation. The room was spotless and fresh clean bedding and towels were provided and replaced daily. The reception area and the restaurant (which I used regularly) were light and airy and the hostel had a very positive overall feel. I feel it should be ranked a 3* hotel, rather than a hostel! It was excellent value for money - both the accommodation and the restaurant, and it's well located, with lots of small bars, cafes and restaurants nearby. Tip: catch the airport bus (€2.60) and get off at Plaza Luceros, which is a 5-min walk to hostel (head for Mercado Central) as the street the hostel is on is just behind it. Airport bus took 20mins and, on the way back, just 11mins! (during the morning rush hour!)

It could get a little noisy at night and, although I hesitate to say it, the reception staff weren't the friendliest, although they warmed up a little - maybe that's because I stayed 4 nights and they got used to me!

Excellent location, within walking distance to the RENFE station, to the beach/marina etc. Abundance of shops and cafes nearby. The cafeteria downstairs offers good food at reasonable prices.

The room smells of smoke although it is supposed to be a non-smoking room. But it's a very common problem in Spain anyway, as many guests will simply open the window and smoke in the room, hence it's not the hotel's fault.
