"Jesus y Maria" Youth Hostel

At the hostel, the central area formerly used as a place of worship remains intact. Using wooden partitions cubicles have been fitted in the side naves between the pillars forming two separate levels. As a result, the rooms and living area are not independent of each other but form a large common room, with the central nave serving as a multi-purpose area (place for exhibitions, concerts).

Layout.

-On the ground floor, the entrance hall is located in the first section of the nave. It is closed off with glass panels, with a bike storage area on one side and the reception desk on the other. A multi-purpose room can be found in the central nave of the church and the partitioned dorms are in the side naves. In the last section, over the present chancel, there are two mixed toilets (one of which is disabled-friendly), a laundry room with washing machines, an office and an outdoor courtyard. The ground floor is fully accessible for the disabled.

-The first floor holds the dorms, which are also located in the side naves, bathrooms, kitchen with dining room, lounge area and individual toilets. There is also a dorm room to sleep 4 and a second, single bedroom for the hostel manager. This floor is not accessible for persons with reduced mobility.
