"Located in the penthouse on the 4th floor of a beautiful historic building (there’s no elevator), I love Massiosare El Hostel for its laid-back rooftop with incredible views and the ease of meeting other travelers there. It offers both private rooms and dorms — including female-only dorms and some dorms with en-suite bathrooms — though dorm beds are basic metal bunks without privacy curtains; the rooms are clean and cozy. I liked that there are two kitchens (one vegetarian, one for meat eaters) and a free breakfast every morning, but be aware that sounds carry in the old building so bring earplugs." - Matthew Kepnes
