Picnic Dreams Boutique Hostel

I had a pleasant stay and the staffs were very helpful. Every morning before venturing to visit the city or go to the beach they refilled my thermos with icy water and ice cubes which was amazing in the heat of the summer and very thoughtful! The room was clean and tidy, the bathroom, although located outside the room (the only private room with the shower outside, but it was the last available) was cleaned every day. The location right by Plaza de la Merced which has lots of restaurants was perfect, not central so quiet, but still only 5min away from the heart of the city. They also booked my 5am taxi to the airport and overall, I had a wonderful time there.

This hostel is a mix of dorm accommodation and private en-suite rooms. It is Cheap and cheerful in a fabulous location. Very clean, friendly. Very comfy beds. On site cafe serving a delicious breakfast. Nothing to dislike.Highly recommended.

We stayed on the top floor. Staff was super friendly and helpful, the room was very clean, it is a small room so there is not a lot of storage space, but the outdoor terrace is huge. Location is amazing for exploring the city. Would highly recommend.

The room and the location were alright. However, my experience was terrible because of the following: -One of the two beds had bed bugs that have bitten my friend -We found a cockroach -The bathroom was always smelling terrible from the drains, even if we also tried to leave the balcony door of the bathroom open -The shower was extremely small that you could barely do the necessary moves in order to wash yourself -The shower head was broken with a result to spray water outside of the shower and ending up with a pond after a shower -Some of the towels and the bed sheets provided were either ripped or dirty -The window doors wouldn't be sound proof so you could hear the noise from the bars opposite of the hotel (mostly a problem for Fridays and Saturdays that they were busy) -There were no washing lines in the balcony, so we used the balcony rails to leave our towels dry. However, the balcony rails were rusty and ruined our personal towels. The service was nothing special but okay. Overall, a bad experience considering the cleaning and bug issues we had

There was no hot water. We could not contact anyone as it was after hours :(

The hostel experience was nice, but the room has just the minimum to be considered decent. No space in toilet to put any stuff and I struggled to take a shower, because the shower cabin is really tiny. There is a bar downstairs, so it might be a bit noisy until midnight. The staff was nice and welcoming.

The location is very central, easy to access to everything, the cafe is cute, coffee and food were good, but noisy at night. As there's a nightclub right opposite our room.

I didn't stay here. This is a review for the cafe. The cafe is lovely with lovely staff, a great menu and a great atmosphere. Yesterday I got unlucky. The staff member , who I have not seen before was HORRIBLE. I ordered one tapa, a mini chicken roll. They didn't have any of the mini roll bread. They said I had to order a sandwich, which was 6 euros more. I asked if they could make the mini roll with bread that they had in the kitchen. They could for example cut it into a quarter with two of the quarters making the top and bottom of the roll. "no" she said. then I would waste half a slice of bread." I said to her, knowing half a slice of bread would cost her maybe maximum 20 cents, why are you asking me to pay 6 euros more when you are going to "lose" half a slice of bread. I tried to make her see my point. Here was her final response: "You can order a sandwich of you can leave." I just wanted a tiny mini roll, not a massive sandwich. My God. How about trying to be less rigid & more kind to customers? She enjoyed her little power trip. There are other , more polite ways to refuse to accommodate a customer. I dont know who she is or if she works there a lot, but the other staff are nice and I hope I don't see her agin. Nasty. I did not deserve that. Nasty woman. Maybe get over yourself and lose the crap attitude if you want to attract & keep customers?

Cosy basic bedroom and the staff are friendly. It is in good location but extremely noisy if you have a room to the front facing the street. You can hear everyone coming and going as the sound does travel. Curtains don’t fit the full window and light comes through the door surround. The shower is decent enough but very small. There is a hairdryer and shower gel/shampoo provided in plastic sachets. It was clean with linen and towels provided.
