In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Central location, steps from the Old Town — Guests repeatedly mention being within a short walk of the main square, with shops, a tram stop, and the National Museum close by.

Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Facilities score slightly below average — The Facilities rating comes in at 6.3, and some guests mention areas that could do with a refresh or repair, such as dated bathrooms.
- No Wi-Fi in some rooms — While free Wi-Fi is available in public areas, one guest noted there was no signal in their room, so you may need to work in the common areas.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 21:00, which can be restrictive if you're arriving late or have a delayed journey.
- Mixed dorm experience could be awkward — One guest found the mixed dorm uncomfortable and suggested a women-only option would be better, though a female-only dorm is listed.
- Towels not included — A guest mentioned that towels aren't provided, so you'll need to bring your own or ask at reception.

7.3Verified guest“The place was clean and quiet, with staff who were always ready to lend a hand. Breakfast was simple but fine, and served early. The location couldn't be better – right in the centre, with a Lidl and Starbucks nearby. There's also a kitchen for guests and even a recycling system, which was a nice touch.”
7.3Verified guest“I really enjoyed the cosy, vintage feel of the hostel. The decorations took me back to my younger days. The common areas were well kept and easy to get around, which made it comfortable for me as an older woman.”
7.3Verified guest“La Guitarra exceeded what I expected. It's close to the main square, yet quiet, and the beds were comfy with crisp sheets. The staff let me store my luggage after check-out – overall a great stay.”
7.3Verified guest“A fantastic stay. The location was ideal – a short walk to the main square and a supermarket right next door. The kitchen was fully equipped, which was brilliant for cooking our own meals. Breakfast had plenty of options. Modern, comfortable, and well equipped – we'd definitely recommend it.”
7.3Verified guest“Great stay in a central spot. The staff, especially the young woman who helped us, were really welcoming. Rooms were clean and new, with a private wardrobe that needed a magnetic card – that made us feel safe. The bathroom was a bit dated but still clean. Breakfast was decent, though the jam tasted a bit off.”
7.3Verified guest“Excellent stay! The location was wonderful, a 5-minute walk from the main square. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. The common spaces were clean and handy, and we had fun playing guitars with the house band. A great experience – would recommend.”
