Red Nest Hostel Valencia

I stayed for 1 night. The staff was nice . Location was great.Rooms have air conditioning and heaters.Big kitchen with plenty of table space and a separate tray for each room so you can store your food. Lovely common areas on the 5th floor. Helpful staff. Good location very close to the city center and with a supermarket just in front. It's great for budget trips and backpackers. I gave 4 stars, but 3,5 is more accurate.

Nice hostel situated just around the corner of the old city. Supermarket across the street plus friendly staff is a big plus. They had a nice rest area and kitchen. Only pity is that the bunk beds don't have any curtains so you very little privacy. They work together with their sister hostel Purples Nest hostel for the activities such as the pub crawl and walking tours. That place is like 5-7 min walk.

The location is one star and the terrace is the other one. Generally, dirty toilets and I noticed a lot of grown men live at the hostel, something that is awkward. Although, it’s worth because it’s cheap and the location is great. Last but not least, something is off with the air-conditioning. The common room and the fun area is cool alongside with the terrace.

I stayed for 2 nights. The staff was nice . Location was great. I stayed in a female only room . The beds was made out of metal which made them very loud to climb and sleep in. The bathrooms/shower rooms smelled very bad like sewage. A lot of the people staying there were older men. Wich is not a problem but something to keep in mind . Overall . It was not great but good for the cheap price

To be completely fair, I wasn’t expecting much from this hostel, but my stay turned out to be rather uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was only for two nights. The place felt a bit rundown, dimly lit, and not as clean as I would have hoped. The beds were quite squeaky — thankfully, I’m not a light sleeper, or that noise would have made it impossible to rest properly. It seems like they found a central location and simply adapted it into a hostel, dividing the bathrooms into one toilet and two very small showers (around 1.1 x 1.1m each). The only real highlights were the friendly, welcoming staff and the excellent location. Beyond that, not much stood out. They do offer social activities and outings, but all of them take place at their other hostel, which makes it a bit inconvenient — I wasn’t exactly eager to walk ten minutes just to join an event.

Location is amazing, every other things suck…Roomates are usually creeps, the bathroom was like a sauna, the rooms smell, during the night you cannot reach your food and we went to the reception for the kitchen key, but the receptionist wasn’t even there, so we went to bed starving, however the cleaning lady was very nice. All in all I don’t recommend this hostel at all…. RUN. Or if you are creepy old guy you are welcomed here.

Loved this hostel! Very nice staff and security guards. We felt safe and had a great time. It’s kind of close to the nightlife and overall a great location.

Great central location and friendly staff. Perfect for solo travelers with a fun, social atmosphere. Common areas are lively, but dorms can be noisy and bathrooms a bit basic. Good value for budget travelers.

Great hostel. Minutes away walk from the city center. There is an upstairs terrace and bar that you can relax in. They held my luggage for most of the day after checking out. The fron desk workers work exceptionally great and accommodating. I believe there names were Sarah and Cedrick. During their rish hour of 11 am ish, i watched them deal with nice and angry clients but remained calm and positive throughout the whole process of them receiving their rooms. Hopefully they get to read this to recognize their great work.

The front desk was super friendly and welcoming. The room I stayed is a 10 PPL room, large area to roam around. Few of the lockers were broken though. The bathrooms (toilet and shower) are clean The fifth floor bar is great to hangout Highly recommend it.

red nest is a chain that can be found throughout espana (and i think some of europe too). one of their sister hostels, purple nest is only a 5 min walk away. red nest was a great place with a great mix of people. free sheets, lockers in your rooms (don't forget your locks), and an air conditioner thing parked in your room that works wonders. community bathrooms were always kept clean and towels were available to borrow (for a couple euro of course). wifi was available throughout the entire building!! they have a bar on the top floor, with rooftop access. cheap drinks and food - we were there during paella night. table for short-ranged beer pong, computers, pool table, and couches. front desk was phenomenal - so friendly and helpful. you can buy tickets to all the tourist attractions there too to skip the lines - bioparc, ciudad de ciencas, turistic bus, etc. location is great too, a short walk away from a cute little plaza where the bus stops, and right next to an ice cream shop.

All in all the hostel was fair. Staff was friendly and the location was great. However, after staying there 3 out my 6 friends traveling had bed bug bites all over our bodies. We alerted the staff and they moved us to another room however, the next morning we another one of us had these bites. The really should have given us bug spray to spray down all of our clothes and luggage to prevent those pesky guys from returning. So I cannot and would not recommend this hostel due to the bed bugs. I even slept in my satin sleep protector and somehow wound up with bites on my forearms and face, bummer. Was able to prevent them from spreading into my apartment and will never stay at any red nest Hostel ever again.

Firstly, the decor is so funky it makes you want to fro up your hair, throw on some flares and do the hustle! The staff were all friendly and helpful. The kitchen could do with an oven, but otherwise is more than adequate and the whole place has a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Grat for meeting other travellers and very well located for getting around the city.

Specifically created this account to write about the bedbug situation when I stayed at Red Nest on the weekend of Oct 7-9, 2014. Submitted a review to Tripadvisor back in October, but looks like it did not get published. Woke up with dozens of bites on my body. Front desk girl told me it was maybe "allergies" or "mosquitoes". She did ask me if I wanted to be moved, but no one came to look at the room/bed for over 24 hr. They did not pay for my laundry (I had to wash/dry ALL of my stuff). Bathroom was dirty. There was a big liquid soap/water spill on the floor. I told the front desk girl, because it was dangerous and slippery. She said she will send someone to clean it. No one came, and the bathroom stayed dirty the whole time I was there. I put some paper towels over the spill, and they stayed there on the floor for 2 days I was there. Looks like no one came to clean. Wifi does not work from inside the rooms. Overall, I wish I had gone elsewhere.
