The team at the Alabama Hotel (Ella in particular) were such a pleasure to deal with. The communication was fast, straightforward and totally dummy proof!
The whole place has the sweetest and quirky design touches. The rooms are no frills with just what you need, no more no less. We knew it was a hostel-like set up where there are no private bathrooms but this did not phase us at all. The bathrooms were sparkling clean and the shower lovely and warm on a cold morning.
The common area felt like a friends lounge room with the decor and had we had longer we would have made more use of the area!
We were lucky that we stayed on a Monday so the occupancy was lower and noise of the other guests was pretty much the same as being in a regular house (maybe slightly quieter!)
The location is amazing, right in the heart of town and we found it super convenient as it was just around the corner from the car rental place we chose and there’s a supermarket right next door. If you don’t have a car it’s the perfect place to explore the CBD and Salamanca on foot as we did in the afternoon.
The hardest part of our stay was that we checked out before the staff started due to an early flight so rather than coffee on premise we had to choose between one of the amazing places surrounding the hotel! We chose Ecru in criterion street but would love to go back to Pigeon Hole bakery as-well.
Would stay again for sure.
