The Princesa Insolente Hostel

good place good district

We stayed for six nights at the Princesa Insolente, and it was a great experience. The hostel opened 8 months ago and a lot of thought has been put into the design and running. We stayed in a double room, which had a bathroom across the hall. It is extremely well appointed, and has new fitting and fixture throughout. Our room had a great double bed with comfortable, warm down comforters. All the utensils, pots, and pans were brand new, but also pretty good in the first place. The only downside was that the kitchen didn't really have enough places to sit. One group in the kitchen in the morning meant almost all the seats and table space was taken. The common areas were great, with comfy chairs in both the lounge and the patio. The place was kept very warm in the evening, not something you find in every hostel. The staff were great. Everyone tried to help out as much as they could. They were always doing something to improve the hostel, even if it was something small like putting a new hook up to hang a towel. The location was brilliant, right in between two metro stations, and close to bar, restaurants, and a supermarket. All in all, an excellent stay.
