The rooms in the hostel are fitted with a coffee machine. All guest rooms at Daydream Medano Coliving come with a shared bathroom and bed linen.

We were so impressed with Daydream. I now understand why it’s called a co-living space and not a hostel. The place is managed really well by caring and friendly staff. All the common areas close down at 10pm, which is great for those who want to rest. Seems like it could be a party hostel, but it’s really not. Everyone is super respectful of noise and space. People of all ages were staying there when we were there. The rooftop is lovely. The kitchens are well-equipped with everything you might need. There’s even filtered drinking water in the downstairs kitchen. It is also cleaner than just about any hostel I’ve ever stayed in. They even provide towels and body wash. I also can’t forget to mention the location, 2 min walk to the beach and surrounded by restaurants, coffee shops and a couple of supermarkets.

I liked the place very much. Met some very nice people and there was a very calm and relaxed atmosphere. Everybody from volunteers to guests was up for a chat if u wanted to and helpfull if you have any guestions. The place was clean enough and close to a small beach. About a 10 minute walk to a supermarket and about 20/30min to El Medano.

This hostel is one of the best I have ever stayed in. Because of the vibe. The love. The community feeling. The whatsapp group connecting everybody. The bar on the roof. The morning yoga. The breakfast with vegan options. The location was super central and good facilities for kiters, wetsuit drying and outdoor kitestorage

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.
