what a beautifull,amazing city. Just returned from a rugby tour to this wonderful place. An all weekend journey from the ridiculous to the sublime. Any team wanting to tour here couldn't choose a better place. just as long as you dont stay at Casa Rural Betania C/San Ramon, No. 90 Barrio Movera Zaragoza in fact nobody should stay here unless they are a deeply religious agrophobe who doesnt want to eat or drink anything and can remember exactly where the chairs in the common room are set out. this place is so lacking in facilities they should send heroin addicts there to kick the skag. the rooms have no electrical outlets so dont even think about taking a phone charger or kettle and the kitchen facilities are out of bounds. Our party had booked the entire place for the weekend at a cost of over 1500 euros,you'd have thought the hostel manager (who was a padre and a dead ringer for johnny cash) might be there to let us in.dont be daft.left sat outside in the middle of nowhere mid afternoon the nearest shop 10 mins away and shut down for siesta,good start. Upon getting in 2 hours later we were informed that we could use the kitchen a privilage which was revoked the next morning after buying in supplies from the basic "supermarket" near the bus stop (10 mins good stroll away). The only saving grace was the remarkable bus service that took us into the city.The hostel guide for this place describes a bar for relaxing in what kind of bar this is remains a mystery, a metal bar perhaps. Again do not go to this place Casa Rural Betania C/San Ramon, No. 90 Barrio Movera Zaragoza its the equivalent of booking a 6 star hotel in Dubai and then being locked in a basement with a member of the spanish inquesition when you get there. it really was that disappointing
