Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Inside Plaza is in a great location, short walking distance from the cable cars. We were given an upgrade to an apartment. Staff very helpful, booked ski passes for us which were waiting on arrival. Flat was warm and comfortable, including beds. Would return

    Great location. Beds nice and big with bathrooms in each room, plus ones outside. Having the door on your cabin really helps. Great hostel and value for money when you compare to other places.

    Great location and very modern hotel. Due to the hotel being quite small, it makes you feel like you are at home in your own chalet. The reception staff were very kind and attentive.

    + clean and cozy room + close to the telesieges that take you down to the main square + cheapish price compared to the other hotels + if you dont need sth fancy and just want a place to sleep during a short stay for wintersports and you're on a tight budget, this place could be great

    really good place, friendly staff but the rooms weren’t perfect. It’s a hostel in the Sierra Nevada village so we were happy that we could sleep so cheap. We bought the all you can eat diner also, the broccoli was a bit cold but the rest of the food was good. would definitely recommend.
