And to revive this older thread here we go with the first hand experience (still fresh!):
we stayed in Albergue Juvenil at Jerez on May 6 and May 7 and were really impressed.
Even though we spoke virtually no Spanish (yes, we did keep to pointing to the name of the hostel and address...)we managed to get on bus No.9 from nearby of the train station which took us right in front of the hostel. It takes some 10 minute drive from the city center, 0.70 euro per person for one way ticket. The building is modern (see the www link above) and accommodation fairly basic I have to admit, but having a twin room (no earplugs needed
), bathroom shared with other rooms but clean and loads of warm water the sixth floor room also had a nice view of the suburbs quarter.
There were quite a few local shops around which we only discovered the night before we left - food was of course so much cheaper than elsewhere in the city. What did surprise us the most was the cost for one night - bed & breakfast (delicious BTW :p , scrumptious hot bagettes with butter or jam, also cooked ham and coffeee/pineapple juice just made it for the meal of the day) were at less than 12 euros/per night per person in a twin room, those who are not 26 years old yet would get an even cheaper cost.
No complaints from us on this part! Next time we head for The Feria del Caballo we know which place is THE ONE!
Just forgot to mention - confirming the stay two days in advance by phone was just fine not only here but also elsewhere in the Albergue Juvenil chain.
