Good Property, Good Value, Nice Central Location
The service was excellent, from check-in to booking a taxi early in the morning when I was leaving. The location was also very convenient, right by a grocery store and other necessities. Highly recommend!
Good accommodation, price, in a short walking distance from high street shops & Lagoon, with wide choice of Cafe bars
Good for the cost,but a bit rundown,needs some maintenance,roof top tired and scruffy,also the room needed updating,Staff were great though.
The Hostal is not wheelchair accessible, there are no lifts, just stairs. Hand/shower gel in pumps by sink and shower, hairdriin bathroom, towel, sheets provided. Small pullout desk and two chairs for laptop use or writing. Kettle in room, cups downstairs in kitchen area, shared kitchen area to heat or prepare food. Hostal surrounded by plenty of eating places, good variety of choice. Situated in an area easy reach to local public transport, bus station 10min walk, shopping mall 15min walk, 15-20min walk to the beach. Friendly, approachable, helpful staff.
Good value for money, issues with hot water
The staff was super helpful, we were able to leave our luggage before check in. Nice location, close to shops and promenade. However, we had a problem with a lack of hot water in the bathroom (on one or two occasions, there was no hot water at all so we had to take showers in a cold water which wasn't very pleasant experience).
Very close to main downtown areas and waterfront.
maria r.partnerDec 27, 2022 Lovely and friendly staff. Central location in Arrecife. Excellent idea to have a communal kitchen!
It was clean and everything I needed... The staff were lovely especially the reception...
My friend and I stayed here for a few days.
The staff are so friendly and helpful and the room was perfect for us - two beds with bathroom - close to all the amenities and the hostal was kept so clean. Wifi was good too - although there was a kitchen to use we didn't use this trip
The staff here are very friendly and welcoming. One staff member spent time helping us to sort out a covid test we needed to do before we left.
This is place is in a great location and very budget friendly
susanna.partnerSep 22, 2021 Perfect location, clean, friendly staff
Para ser un hostal está bien, pero si lo valoras como hotel le pondría un 5. Los huéspedes son descuidados con la limpieza de la cocina. La habitación está muy limpia. La cama es cómoda. La ubicación es buena porque está muy cerca del charco de San Ginés pero da una sensación de no mucha seguridad. El personal es muy amable. El baño es muy pequeño y no hay manera físicamente posible de no tocar la desagradable cortina de la ducha. No hay ascensor. Puertas antiguas. Poca seguridad y que no se calla la carva
Comfortable room, but we had noisy neighbors.
For the money I paid... The service that Hostal San Gines provided was great. Staff really very friendly. Comfortable stay thtoughout.
Best value hostel in Arrecife
I arranged last minute trip to Arrecife, and booked this hostel based on reviews and the keen price. I consider I made the best VFM choice. The Hostel staff were very welcoming and it was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable and I was allocated a room with private, rather than shared bathroom. The bathroom was very compact, but everything worked perfectly and again spotlessly clean.the towels were much thicker than I expected. There is a Fridge and kettle in the room and you have access/use of a kitchenette, if you wish to cook your own food. The Hostel is very convenient for the town / harbour area (2min walk) but a little distance from the bus station(s)
A bit dissappointing one...
It could have been a really nice stay in a nicely and conveniently located hostel but... my bad luck started on a day of arrival - as check-in starts at 1pm and I have arrived for 2pm my room was not ready and had to wait until about 4pm to get into my room... Room was made tidy and clean but don't be fooled by the pictures used to advertise the hotel - there was no welcoming bottle of wine/water, not even any cups or glasses you could use for your own drink (there was a kettle though ;). instead of personal toiletries - one shower gel dispenser on the wall... But it was not that important - the worst was that it has been advertised that hostel runs daily housekeeping and my room has not been visited through all my stay there (7 nights). The bin has not been emptied, towels not changed :( Happily I have chosen double room for a single use so half of my stay I have used one set of towels and slept in one bed, then moved to another ;) As the bin was just one - I had to leave it a bit overflowing... and the most important thing - happily there was enough toilet paper on a roll!!! ;) After those inconveniences - noise and slamming doors (mentioned also in other reviews) were really just nothing ;) So I think my overall experience is turning towards rather a negative one...
Ahh.. And to not to paint everything in just black - WiFi router was in my room so at least internet was reliable and fast ;)
Fab little place in the heart of Arrecife
Fantastic hostel in the heart of Arrecife. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and the rooms are clean and comfortable. It is more like a 2* or 3* hotel than a hostel, but has a fab shared kitchen guests can use. The location is great- right on the marina-with loads of cafes and restaurants less than a minute away. We were in room 304, and it got a bit noisy first thing in the morning with the cleaners starting their rounds, and loading washing machines etc, so ask for a lower floor if noise bothers you. However, that said, it's cheap, pleasant and friendly, and I would definitely stay again as it it so convenient.
Right at the heart of the action, only moments from the front and the beach. The staff were friendly and the roof terrace is even more fantastic than it looks in the photo's. The WIFI worked well and allowed me to stream BBC iPlayer. If you want them to they will organise bus trips and even have some bikes for hire. There are no catering facilities in the room but guests have access to a full size kitchen on the ground floor and shops bars and coffee shops are only a few steps away. They also printed my return boarding passes for me.
