I stayed here with a group of fellow students in July 2011. We booked this place because it was basically the only hostel in the city that would be able to host a group of 15 people. We weren't disappointed. The atmosphere in this hostel is really good and relaxed. They have 2 places in the same street, our group... More

After a day of travelling, we are sitting in the lobby looking for another hotel at 9 PM. They lost the reservation. Other than this, the place is filthy and filled with partiers. Other than the inconvenience, I am glad that they lost the reservation, terrible place to stay.

I´m so surprised to see such good reviews this place has! For me, it was my worst hostel experience ever. The staff is not the typical hostel staff--young, knowledgeable, sociable--, instead they were mediocre (at best) receptionists and maids. The owner seems to believe that the hostel is her private home and that guests owe her gratitude for the favor... More

The hostel was ok - the breakfast is a pastry and coffee only, if you don't speak more than a little spanish it's hard work, and the place is not so clean in general as well as dog hair everywhere. On the upside the beds were comfortable and warm and it's a good location.

We arrived from London to Alegria & were pleasantly surprised though a bit challenged that no one spoke any English at all (our own fault for not learning enough Spanish) but beware. Two lovely big dogs, in the main house & a nice friendly vibe. We stayed in a private room in the secondary house a few doors up the... More

I have booked it after I had canceled a reservation to the the best hostel in Tripadvisor list. The only reason was because it was presented as a friendly and worm place and I came alone. It was also very important to me to have a good spirit and confort for a good start after long intercontinental flight. I read... More

Arriving at Alegria's Hostel started out rocky and turned into a nice experience. The cab from the airport was lost in 'La Candelaria' and couldn't locate the hostel. He dropped us off 8 blocks away and we had to walk uphill for quite some time with our luggage. Altitude sickness kicked in and we arrived exhausted and with severe headaches.... More

This hostel has a really very helpful, friendly staff. They were trying their best to make you comfortable. Location was great: it was in the middle of historic old town (La Candelaria). They have 2 hostels that are very close to each other. If you are a party person you can choose the pink one that has lots of people... More

Staff took care of us very well. Very welcoming. This is the positive point with the location in town. For the rest our first doubleroom was located just in front the reception desk. So pretty noisy. Especially in the evening. The 3rd night we were moved to a second one upstairs with an beautiful view on the city and much... More
