Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The hostel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals need to make other arrangements.
  • Shared bathroom for most dorms — While some dorms have a private bathroom, several room types rely on shared facilities. Guests have noted plenty of toilets and bathrooms overall, but it's worth checking your specific room.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, with check-out by 11:00. Arrivals after midnight are not possible, and early departures require planning.
  • Smoking only in designated areas — Smoking is not allowed throughout the property, only in specified zones. This may be a drawback for smokers expecting full freedom.

“My stay at Black Swan was fantastic. The atmosphere was buzzing with socialising, and I loved the organised activities like the pub crawl and paella class. Free simple breakfast every morning, and free dinner on alternate days. Beds were comfortable with a sense of privacy. The location was ideal, with major attractions close by. The hostel also had a spacious kitchen, outdoor space, and a cosy sitting area. A wonderful experience, I'd recommend it to any traveller.”
