My boyfriend and I stayed here in September for 1 week. The hostel is on a quiet street, and just one minute walk from the Westend. It was great value for money and the place was really clean, which is one of the most important things and the air-con worked fine.

Our room was on the 1st floor but this was a bit noisy....we didnt sleep the first night because of other ppl shouting, dragging luggage past our room and the cleaners walking round and moving furniture from the 2nd floor. The cleaners came everyday to change the towels and clean, sometimes not too good if out the night before! But there was no noise from parties or loud music - essential when you do want to get some sleep!

Would def. stay here again, but on a higher floor!

well stayed at the roca for 5 days in sept 08, needed some where cheap and cheerfull as it was a suprize visit to my daughter to spend her 21st birthday with her, I have visited beefa many times b4 so knew of the roca but never stayed there b4, the owners were lovly people and the rooms were simple and clean, the room was situated at the top of the first stairs on the 1st floor and these stairs fed all 4 floors which after our 1st night there we realised was a nightmare as all through traffic passed our wall, which allso backed onto a small lounge area........so all the clubbers, party people,in fact all occupants would stamp up the stairs drunk and arguing at all hours so we managed 4 hours sleep over the 5 night stay. We thought great 1st floor room on checking in as there was no lift but yawn.......It was a very tiring experience, but nothing to do with the place or the owners just the people staying being inconsiderate drunk and argumentative..........On our last day there my daughter had to get out of her room by 11am so I asked if she and her BF could come to our room for the day and dump there cases and wash etc, and the owners said not a problem which was very sweet of them so I brought them a bottle of a spanish liqure as a thankyou. I would recomend Roca but not that room.

Roca was great...Our room was very basic but was very clean and great for the price...Its also on a street that's much quieter than the rest so if you do decide to get some rest you wont be disturbed by people partying throughout the night. The A/C needs to be switched off everytime you leave the room so it tends to get a bit warm but like I said its great for the price.

This hostel is great! Visited San Antonio in the beginning of September for 4 nights with my friend.

Price / service ratio is amazing. Very friendly staff, air-conditioning, private bathroom, towels change etc.

Only couple of things could be better - fridge and some control of air-condition :) It was working well, even very well, so sometimes it was cold :)) Without it was hot, of course.

But anyway, would stay there for sure in future.

It's not a 5-star hotel, but it's a really great place for the price you are paying. Super clean and the staff are very friendly. I'd definitely stay here again when I come back to Ibiza and this is coming from a girl who likes her 4-star hotels! Overall a great experience! =)

Excellent Hotel, excellent location. I would definitely reccomend this hotel/hostel it was very quiet even though you are just off the main street and there is a shop right out of your front door! Staff are very friendly and helpful and cleaners are lovely.

This Hostel is in the perfect location for all the bars, clubs, and shopping. But if you plan on sleeping at night, this is not the place for rest and relaxation. Otherwise, it was a great place.

Roca was sound as. Ideal location - arrived at Roca 10:00pm - was in the West End by 10:10pm having our first sesh in Ibiza - ideal for short breaks and those happy enough not to have a pool - the beach is 2 mins away anyway. For £28 per night was perfect and even value for money. No noise at all and surrounded by the best looking women in Ibiza with the Pacha shop next door. Would def go again in 2009.

Where do I begin?

I come to Ibiza every other year and I knew exactly what I wanted this time. I wanted to be in the west end, in a room with air conditioning, 4 walls and a roof. It felt more like a dorm room in college but it was a great deal and we really liked it. We saved sooooo much money than staying at our regular place. The only issues we had were the following: no TV in the room, the cleaning lady knocking loud and just coming in, the intense bleach smell after the room is cleaned, and no elevators (lifts). Other than that, it was perfect for its location and price. The usual place we stayed at was 300 euro a night, I booked the Roca in advanced, so it was 66 euro a night... what a fuckin deal! If all the hotels in Ibiza would ease up on the bringing girls back to the room late night issues they have, we would all live better lives!

The room serviced it purpose as far as a bed to sleep in and a shower( which was not always hot). The air was nice to have too. I was surprised they supplied us with towels. All in all it was an okay place to stay, once we located it. I wish I had known it was a street over from the KFC then it would had been super easy to find. A lot of places to eat right at the end of the street.
My friends and I had a nice stay. Only thing that really sucked was around check-out time EVERY morning you could hear people Dragging their bag down the stairs. It was so load.

It serves a purpose, they cleaned our room twice and we had dirty towels for a good few days.
There was a variety of staff on reception. most were ok and didn't really say much. There was one guy that worked the night shift who clearly weren't a happy chappy and decided to take that out on anyone that crossed him.

Our door was damaged, which was easily repairable and even if it was replaced the door was no more than £30... but they decided to charge €150 for the damage.

So conclusion is, a great place to stay as it is right in the middle of everying and has everything you need for a very cheap price, it can be loud but you're not staying in the centre of San Antonio for peace and quiet. But advise is, get the cleaners in and try not to damage anything as they do indeed rip you off.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Roca hostel, can't complain about a thing. Great location and very friendly staff. Night time in the hostel can sometimes be noisey but who comes to Ibiza to sleep anyways!!!Defo recommend to anyone to stay at Roca!

Very good hotel as well as very cheap. Situated right in the middle of San Antonio's life, perfect for English people going to nextdoor bars and pubs. It's a bit noisy during the night but if like us you come back at 7 or 8 in the morning you'll only be disturbed by the cleaning lady who won't mind cleaning your room while you're sleeping. Another good point is that there's a private electronic safe in the room, in case you have important stuff to hide. What else; friendly staff, you can access internet in the hotel, there is air conditionning in the rooms and.. that's all. Very pleasant stay, will probably go back.

The roca is a great budget hotel one block over from the west end.

The staff are nice and the rooms got cleaned everyday except for sunday which was fine.

The only downside was there wasnt a fridge in the room but that is the only thing I can think of to fault the place.

Well, i was amazed about the price of the hostel. It is very central (St. Antonio0 and you have access to the beach by only 5 min. walk. For that its quite cheap. furthermore, the stuff is very kind and always open for a chat ;)
Guys if you go to Ibiza for Party, please imagine how the natives are feeling and try to behave a bit more social to the people and also to the environment!This is what I got through the talks with the natives and also the stuff. The Island is not there to be wasted by you but to please you and if something is pleasing you you also should try to give something back or at least not to destroy it completely.
On this note, have a nice time on Ibiza and enjoy the parties and the good accommodation at the Roca Hostel!Cheers

Cute family hotel,everytime cool even if the air conditioned is off, a little bit noisy( but you don't come to Ibiza to sleep !!).

The staff is friendly, the cleanliness is excellent (everyday except on sunday.

The situation is perfect, in the center of the city, this hotel is next to all the bars, pre party, 7 minutes from the san antonio bay, 3 minutes from the Eden or Es paradise ...

Hostel was very nice, rooms were really ok for this price. People in the reception = great!Unfortunately English people who also lived there were not good neighbours... People - why are you so loud at the middle of the night? You are not alone in the hotel, others would like to get some sleep!
Claning service was ok at the beggining but closer to the end it was gettin' worse (they forot to clean WC or shower..).
I still recomend the hostel but if you want to get some rest by night - here you will not.

Only 30 seconds off the West End but you don't hear noise from there when you do require sleep.

The rooms and hotel is basic (no pool, tv's, bar/restaurant, lift etc. here) but you get a free electronic safe and free air conditioning. Internet is available with 2 computers located within reception at 1 Euro for each 15 minutes.

The hotel is clean and you can get clean towels with cleaners coming every day (at around 10am, which was too early for me)

I can't really give anything for food as there isn't a restaurant in the hotel but there are plenty of great restaurants, takeaways, supermarkets only a short walk away.

Nice budget hostal,really close to the center.
cheap and affordable for everyone.We arrive around 10.30 and there was free room at that time
and we entered straight in without waiting for
the normal 14.00 hour of accomodation.Air condition inside.Only the water pressure in the
shower is too slow but anyway there is hot water.
Definately we'll stay there next time. :-)

There's nothing fancy here, but it has a great location, air conditioning and the right price.

We chose Hostel Roca as it was so cheap but then worried we might have booked a complete dive of a hotel but how wrong were we! The room was basic but had everything you needed in terms of clean bedding, bathroom (bath and shower!)and even air conditioning which was bliss!What more could you ask for for £24 a night for a twin room (which actually had 3 beds in)- Bargain! Would definately return as it was only 5 mins from the main bars yet not noisey when you needed to sleep. This review is coming from someone who would never normally book anything below at least 3 stars so you can be safe in knowing you won't be disappointed. If I could have requested one thing, it would have been to have a balcony or large window just to look out of but this certainly wouldn't stop me booking this hotel again. Staff also very pleasant and accommodating when we requested an additional friend to stay for 2 nights.

Great value for money hostel. Its called a hostel but its more like a 2 star hotel for the hostel price. Private rooms, ensuite, in-room electronic safes, twins and double options. Unbelievable San Antonio location. Lovely owners. Would stay again without any hesitation.
Thank you.

I had a wonderful time to the hostal roca, the only thing i have to say is that it is a bit too noisy if you wish too have time to relax. But it is just because it is placed in the center of santantonio!

Roca is a basic hotel: no luxuries, communal lounge or dining area - but it is very clean, comfortable and well located for a lively night in San Antonio. if you're on a tight budget this place is ideal.. i stayed for 10 nights in September without any hassles and would go back again

I would like to thank Roca hostal and Ibiza Spotlight to rebook my reservation without problems and any charges although I informed them way too late. Even though I missed the flight and had other problems with the luggage, my holidays on Ibiza were absolutely great! Roca Hostal, nice people, big partys and beautiful weather made them even better!

A great place if you just want somewhere to stroll back to after a big night out. It doesn't offer much in facilities but who cares. the staff are very friendly if you show them respect and everything is on your doorstop, literally! I would definitely stay here again. Cheers!

the location of the hotel is fantastic,a short stroll from almost every thing,2 minute from the huzzle and buzzle of san antonio street,5 minute from the bus station,10 minute from cafe del mar,every thing was ok exept that our room was not the best,but who cares we were just taking showers and sleep (when i had that chance!!!!!) the personnel is so kind mainly papi,he is adorable. for a small budget this hotel is perfect and believe me when you go to "eivissa" is not to watch the walls.so if you want to be in the hottest spot of the world with a small budget ,rocca hotel is a good deal. and for your next holidays in ibiza ,d'ont forget your condoms!!!!!!!

A fantastic little place, with a perfect location if you like the west end, very friendly staff that speak English and are very helpful.

The rooms were very clean with a maid coming every day (again very helpful), however there were no lifts so the 4th floor felt a long way away after a while

Would definitely stay again

The hotel was very good value in terms of price. The staff were very helpful & accomadating.
In terms of location we would have prefered Ibiza town because Saint Antonio was a noisey town. However we could not afford to stay in Ibiza town because most of the hotels were expensive.

10 / 10 FANTASTIC
Clubbers Read On - Was going to right a massive review to say how great this place was and how it met my need perfectly. Great staff, English speaking, friendly cleaners, helpfull on all accounts, basic but good for the cost, clean, accessable. I could go on... But then i thought that if i do that you'll all be wanting to stay at this place next year and i won't get a room! If basic is all you need, this place rocks. Thats all i needed, more wad to spend on the things that matter in Ibiza. See you again in 2007. FANTASTICO!! P.S. Thanks for sorting out the fan for the room!!
