Insider Tip

La Flamenka Hostel

La Flamenka Hostel is a nice place to stay for an affordable price. It has the vibe of an independent hostel, so if you're hoping to stay somewhere local and avoid the big hostel chains, then this is a good option. The decor is nice, the rooms are large, and everything is kept very clean.

The owners and staff are helpful and knowledgeable. The atmosphere can be a bit quiet, which many guests enjoy, but others miss the social side of a more popular hostel.

The Facilities

Dorms

This hostel has dorms that sleep four, five or six people. There are both co-ed and female only rooms available. The rooms are surprisingly large and have bright decorations that keep things light and fun. The beds are metal and can be a bit shaky, but the pillows are very comfortable. The furnishings are simple and minimal, but the rooms are very clean.

Private Rooms

The hostel also has double, twin, and triple private rooms for guests who want a little space to themselves. The twin rooms have bunk beds but there are also rooms with queen sized beds. The triple room has one bunk bed and one twin bed. The rooms also use shared bathrooms.

These rooms have bright colors and simple furnishings.

Bathrooms

All of the rooms use shared bathrooms. While they feel a bit dated, they're kept very clean with hot water and good water pressure. There are plenty of bathrooms for the number of guests so you likely won't have to wait, even during peak times.

Common Areas

This cozy hostel has the feel of an Andalucian home. Guests will enjoy the living rooms with a television and the kitchen which they can use to prepare their own meals. All of the rooms are bright, colorful, and inviting, so you'll enjoy sitting down with a good book or planning the next part of your trip.

Outdoor Space

The outside terraces are a favorite part of this hostel. Like the rest of the hostel they're colorfully decorated with plenty of seating and shade. You can enjoy a cold drink from the bar and soak up the beautiful view. The drinks are reasonably priced and the atmosphere is unmatched.
