Friendly, clean and great value - friendly and professional staff

Centrally located and affordable hostel for travellers on a budget, clean rooms and shared bathrooms, the cotton bedspreads are a nice touch as opposed to polyester ones. There's even a kitchen on the top floor, very handy for breakfast and a hot drink.
The staff was so helpful and professional, I asked to stay an extra night, they were fully booked and so were other hostals in the area. Thankfully there was a cancellation and they informed me quickly via whatssap.
There's no lift so if you come with heavy luggage like I did, be prepared to lift your suitcases to the third floor! But if the staff is in they'll offer to help.
Would happily come here again,
Thanks!

Not recommended!
At first there were problems with check-in: there was no one in the building in the evening, the phone number posted on the door did not answer. It turned out that I needed to contact a certain Maria on a completely different phone number so that she could provide the code and give further instructions. Why contact the guest in advance, right? Bourgeois excess. But here it is. I didn’t have a local SIM card 2 call. What If I didn’t have traffic left? Trapped then? Random guy from a hostel helped me [facepalming]
The internet didn't work almost every evening. At all. The speed was poor. Cmon, guys, it’s almost 2024! Can’t you just pay €30 more to the provider?!
The door lock to my room needs to be replaced - I struggled with it every day for a week.
No soundproofing
The room smelled very strange upon arrival
One day there was no toilet paper in the common toilet
Another day, the soap was removed. Why? Because!
No elevator
No furniture in the room
Not enough lighting in the room - just one wall bulb.
Avoid!

Noisy location and smells in some rooms; so you'll be taking your chances.

Since I would be visiting during Carnaval, I knew getting a reasonably priced room might be a challenge, and the Alcaravaneras had a good rate, in addition to being walking distance to Santa Catalina Park, where a lot of the Carnaval events were being held. Davinia, the receptionist, was proactive in contacting me to find out when I would be checking in. You are given a set of keys since there is no 24 hour reception, and you can come and go as you please. They have a kitchen on the 4th floor that guests can use with a refrigerator and microwave.
The biggest issues with the Alcaravaneras was the smell and the noise. I had one of the rooms with a private bath which, in principle, wos good. However, there was a strong bad odor (probably sewer gas) from the bathroom. In addition, the location of the hotel rooms is on a side street that is right off the main highway in Las Palmas. The highway noise came right through the windows, whether they were closed or open. When I complained about these issues, the hostal provided me with a floor fan that helped with the smell a little, and provided white noise at night to cover some of the highway noise. Wifi was also spotty.
The hostal also let me store my suitcase for a few hours after checkout and before my flight departure.

Good hostel with nice price quality

We stayed here for 2 nights in a room with shared bathroom. The room and bathroom are clean and the people of the reception are friendly. The room had no airco, so you probably need to sleep with the balcony door open, making it a bit noisy to sleep.
Good location to have a quick visit of las Palmas. And great price/quality (we paid 22€ for 2 per night)

Good hostal

We arrived a little late, but we got the door code in advance. Next morning check in as requested. Very happy stay. Clean room and shared bathroom. Nice en friendly staff. Easy to find. Very close to beach, as in 200 meters or so.
