La Palma Hostel by Pension Central

Great location, making access to the GR 131 trail very convenient. It is also close to shops, restaurants and bus stops, making it a good starting point for exploring this part of the island. The room, bathroom and joint kitchen were clean, the staff helpful. Recommend!

It would be nice to be able to turn on and use the heating - we happened to stay there during wet and cold weather, and we definitely would appreciate a little bit of warmth and dryness in the room.

The owners Anna & Marco are super friendly and helpful. That makes such a positive impact.

Bit noisy.

An exceptional value for trekkers and backpackers. I stayed one night in a single—it had everything I needed as a trekker and nothing more. At the same time, it was not bare bones. Extended my stay to another night and the only availability was a studio with a balcony. More than I required but it was wonderful to be able to cook my own food for the first time in weeks. I stayed in lots of places trekking all seven islands and this one stands out to me. Exactly the kind of pension that was ideal for my wants and needs but which is rarely available on the islands given the nature of the tourism there. The town is great, the location is easy walking distance to both grocery stores, a pizzeria I really liked, and a wonderful bakery.

Great location, very clean, attractive and recently decorated common area with lots of plants.

I do not have a strong sense of smell but the odour of cleaning products in my room (4) was unpleasant and overpowering all night. Some of the replies left by the owner to other guests’ reviews are strikingly defensive and even hostile.
