El Hostel & CO has three options suited to solo travellers and groups.

Both have air conditioning and a power socket by the bed.
Families can choose a 45 m² room for four people, with four bunk beds and a private bathroom with a shower. It also has air conditioning and baby safety gates. The main difference is between sharing a dormitory and having your own family space with a private bathroom. The stated capacity and layout help you choose between an individual bed or a room for several people; all three room types have bunk beds.
This individual bed is in a 100 m² mixed shared room, the larger of the two shared dormitory options. As well as air conditioning, it has a seating area and fan, features that distinguish it from the other shared room category. The bed is a bunk bed, with a power socket nearby.
At 45 m² and with capacity for four people, this is the family option and the only category with a private bathroom and shower. It has four bunk beds, air conditioning and baby safety gates. Unlike the shared dormitories, it offers private use of the bathroom inside the room.
This individual bed is in a shared dormitory with eight beds, measuring 70 m². It is more compact than the 100 m² mixed room and does not have the seating area described for that category. It has air conditioning, a power socket by the bed and a clothes rack.
The accommodation combines places to relax with options for eating and having a drink. The hostel has a restaurant, bar and snack bar, and also offers a café. Free WiFi is available in some rooms, while air conditioning is one of the highlighted amenities. Family rooms accommodate groups, and non-smoking rooms are available.
For leisure, facilities and activities include a games room, board games and puzzles, as well as live music or performances and evening entertainment. If you prefer to head out, options include pub crawls, hiking, windsurfing and bike tours. There are also lockers and luggage storage, which are useful for organising your stay.
