The hostel was clean and bathroom facilities were good. Kitchen was clean but there was an old German man that seemed to reside there for majority of the day and must've felt like he owned the dining area and he would often tell people to lock the door even though it's a public area and the door should be open. I witnessed him say racist comments if people didn't enter without declaring hola to the whole room. He made the stay pretty uncomfortable and we avoided the kitchen because of him
The owner's reply
Hola Trisha!

Thank you for your comments, well better saying your ratings.I feel sorry about the behavior of that man,i am really surprised, i thought he was friendly. He only stayed few days with us.In any of the cases, you may inform us for everything and we will try to find the solution to any case.

Hope to see you back in Spring or Summer, you will discover a different really beautiful parto of Valencia!

Thank you,

Regards,

I loved the terrace (1st floor) at purple nest. Don't know why we had to move from red to purple but the terrace was really cool
The owner's reply
Thank you! Purple has one really cool terrace as well, hope to see you soon in Red Nest so we can show you that here it's also charming. I'm sure the change was for your confort, so I'm really happy you were happy.

Great hostel, lovely vibe! The only things that I found difficult were that there was no in-built way to lock the lockers. Most other hostels I've stayed in lately don't require you to bring/buy your own lock. Also, it was a pity that breakfast was not included.
The owner's reply
Hola! Thank you for leaving a review. We are glad you enjoyed staying at Red Nest! Indeed, you need to use a padlock for the lockers in the room to ensure the security of your belongings.

I liked the terrace on the roof: a good way to meet new people.

The location is perfect, the price fare.

May be it would be easy to have the air conditionee controller in the room.

Very recommended.

Excellent position and kind staff. I've only experienced two main problem:

- The wi-fi didn't work

- The bathroom at my floor didn't work

Probably I was just unlucky and I would recommend your hostel anyway.

The owner's reply
Hola! Thanks for your nice comment. It was really bad luck that we had those two problem at the same time during your stay but we have fixed everything now. We're glad to know that you still enjoyed your stay here. Come back whenever you want!

We've been only two nights there, but it has been an amazing experience. The staff was really kind and helpful. We met plenty of interesting people there and we could practise our english. It's a nice and cosy Hostel. If I come back to Valencia some day, I'm absolutely sure I'll choose the Red Nest Hostel again!

Hello Eva,

I love this place :) lost my handbag at the official LaTomatina after party. The next day I checked into Red Nest and they had my bag at the desk waiting for me - all my cards etc still inside my purse! no idea how, but so impressed someone took the time & effort to make that happen. In my expereince Red Nest really goes above & beyond in the level of service provided
The owner's reply
Dear guest,

thank you for your comment. We are glad to know that you enjoyed your stay at our hostel and that we found your handbag.

Quite nice hostel with very good location right in the historic center of Valencia. Rooms are a little bit too small and some of them have windows just 50 cm from the outside wall so there is not much air coming through. Other than that, bathrooms could use a little bit more cleaning and more activities for guests (we usually used to go to Purple nest)
The owner's reply
Hola Martin!

Thank you for your review, we have different types of rooms, some of them are bigger than others and we are open to change the room (in our possibilities) to whoever that doesn't feel comfortable because of space or other things. Also, we are taking note on cleaning better the bathrooms.

We hope to see you again and place you in a bigger room.

Cheers from Rednest!

had higher expectations of the hostel. as it was out of season there weren't any rooftop activities and only on the weekend the bar is open. I think you should put it on your website
The owner's reply
Hello Iris!

We are very sorry that you got disappointed about our hostel. When it's an off season, it is impossible to make all the same activities that we do during the high season but we do our best to keep the hostal alive and colourful also during the winter also. We have two hostels close to each other so in case in one of them the athmosphere is too quiet, you can alway jump to the other one :)

Kind regads from Valencia!

The bar wasn't open upstairs and they still didn't allow alcohol in
The owner's reply
Hi John!

Our policy is that alcohol isn´t allowed in the hostel.

The bar was shut because it is low season and there isn´t that many people in common areas. But we hope that you enjoyed your stay apart from that!

Regards, Red Nest Staff!

I've stayed at about eight different hostels while being in Spain, and Red Nest is by far the best "value for money". The staff were lovely, and it's the cheapest hostel I've ever been too and had breakfast included on the price. The kitchen facilities and food storage were spacious, and there's lots of common places to sit. The wifi acted up a couple times, but it was good enough for me to skype people in the U.S. and in Namibia. Also, considering the location, this hostel is a great place to stay.

Price and location are great (really close to Colòn metro station and excellent to walk arond El Carmen) and I appreciated the staff kindness. Breakfast could be improved a little (I've read that soy milk was part of the vegetarian braeakfast but actually there was none) and the showers would be really more confortable with some hangers or hooks to hold towels and stuff.

Had a great time at the red nest hostel. Recommend doing the walking tour and trying the "agua de valencia" the only slightly annoying thing was that the water in the showers turns off about every 30 seconds so you have to keep turning it on

good for socialising, kitchen could have better utensils and equipment, bar prices way too expensive, especially considering can't bring own alcohol onto premises. Excellent location though.

The staff were amazing and the hostel has a great atmosphere, but it is in a state of disrepair and urgently needs maintenance. Door hinges and door locks are missing, there are no hooks nor shelves in the showers, the kitchen is hopelessly inadequate, if the equipment exists it is broken or it simply does not exist at all. No tongs, no turning utensils and a singular fry pan with a broken handle. The water kettle also didn't work. The fridge has no shelves so guests simply pile bags and bags of food on top of each other. Our double bed had a singular flat sheet on it and we had only one pillow (it took them 2days to buy another after I complained). If it wasn't for the exceptional staff it would be hard to recommend this hostel.

Absolutely a fantastic hostel! The pub crawl every night made it so easy to find people to go out with, and I really enjoyed the walking tours which helped me figure out what to do in the city (they're free, but work on tips, you pay what you feel they're worth)

The common room is really cool, with a pool table, guitar and a well stocked bar with cheap drinks, and theres almost always people to play beer pong with

The kitchen is well stocked, clean, and has all the pots and pans you could need.

Overall, I highly recommend!
