Puerto Nest Hostel

Kooky building with a rooftop terrace that's good for eating and relaxing. Friendly staff. We had a private double room with it's own bathroom that was perfect. Only downside, small kitchen that's a squeeze once a few people want to prep / cook. Also barely any space to store food. Took a peek at the dorm rooms and they look a squeeze. Parking is on the streets nearby which are VERY busy in the evening, so took a fair bit of searching to find a space.

Free Muffins coffee and tea in the morning and inexpensive dinner cooked by the skilled employees and volunteers of the hostel. The roll was a little small for six people. But I was plenty comfortable. The people that work and volunteer there are very friendly and helpful. If you are going to are going to Tenerife, you can’t go wrong with a Nest Hostel. They are all great. Some are as small as a house. And others feel like a resort. But all are clean and really make you feel at home.

The initial receptionist was ‘cool’ towards us on arrival. Other staff members were great, and on leaving the female receptionist was so helpful and friendly. It’s a great place to stay. Our bathroom still had previous occupants hairs in the shower, and there were clearly sewerage issues. The room itself was light, airy, and simple, buy comfortable. Had it not been for the initial check in, and the hairs in the bathroom, a definite 5 stars. It’s still great value, and don’t let a cold receptionist put you off, nor some hairs. Punta Brava is a great area 20 minutes from Puerto de La Cruz which is delightful.

Great, chillout stay, beautiful views nearby

Overall a good hostel with a nice rooftop terrace and very close to a beautiful beach. It was a bit odd for a 30 year old guy to share a dorm (6-bed) with women in their 70s, 50s and 40s, which is what happened to me. Also I was a bit concerned about the security - the entrance door stays open during the day and anyone can come in and then enter the rooms. Also the bunk beds are the simplest on the market e.g. not great - you feel every movement of the person sleaping above you. Also I’d prefer to pay a little less and sort out my own breakfast, the one provided wasn’t great, especially for a vegetarian.
