Duque Nest Hostel

I had a really great time at this hostel! The atmosphere was super relaxed, the team was incredibly friendly, and you immediately feel welcome. I especially loved that they offer surf lessons. A big thank you to the surf instructor Federico, he was amazing! He had so much patience and really took his time. One day the waves unfortunately weren’t very good, but he still drove with me to several different beaches to try to find better conditions. That really shows how much dedication and passion he has for surfing and for the guests. Overall, I can highly recommend the hostel and the surf lessons , a perfect combination of a great vibe, great people, and unforgettable experiences 🩷

A really amazing, friendly, and comfortable hostel! The atmosphere here is warm and positive, and it truly feels like a place you want to come back to 😊 Special thanks to the manager Nastya — she is an incredibly positive, kind, and inspiring person who creates a feeling of comfort and care for every guest ❤️ Unfortunately, I don’t remember everyone’s names, but all the staff members are extremely friendly, helpful, and welcoming. They always make you feel comfortable and supported. The hostel is always clean, organized, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay. It is also located in a beautiful area of Tenerife, with convenient transport nearby to explore other parts of the island. I definitely recommend this hostel to anyone looking for comfort, a great atmosphere, and lots of positive emotions! 🌴✨

I did like the location and house structure (the good reviews are for this) however, I did not have a good welcoming from the receptionist (A dark hair Peruvian or Bolivian woman). She was rude and had bad manners during my stay in the hostel. In the other hand, there were many volunteers using common areas (they work for free and they consider the hostel their space). They were noisy but fortunately they seemed not to be allowed to be in the following areas: jacuzzi and swimming pool (the only little space to be far from them). A young Argentine boy was very noisy (he has a strong voice tone) and he seemed very comfortable saying things like “Ow someone took my chair” “ow we cannot cook all together now because the light will cut off” etc

Really enjoyed my stay here—the staff are friendly and welcoming. It’s a perfect place to meet new people and socialise. The hostel team organises a wide range of activities for guests, including beach volleyball, quiz nights, salsa lessons, and group outings like karaoke or salsa nights. They also host dinners for around €10, giving you the chance to try dishes from different cuisines. The communal areas are cleaned several times a day, and a laundry service is available. I’d highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great value for money, a location close to the beach, and plenty of opportunities to make new friends!

I stayed at this hostel for 4 nights in a shared room with 10 people. Unfortunately, the bed was very uncomfortable, and the bed linen was in poor condition. It felt like the bedding hadn’t been changed between guests. I had a top bunk, and the ladder felt unsafe. The bed moved a lot whenever anyone moved, which made it hard to sleep. One night, a girl was having sex in the room (even though it was a female-only room and a guy came in). The bathroom was quite small, but for a shared bathroom, it wasn’t very dirty. The reception staff were friendly and relaxed. The hostel has a nice atmosphere with lots of activities, especially if you’re travelling solo. The location is decent — you can walk to the beach. Even though the price was good, I wouldn’t stay here again.
