It is paid in advance, is valid for 3 months, bookings can be changed if you let us know the day before (subject to availability) and it is not transferable. Valid until the end of the promotion. For special cases we can also prepare a custom rate.
How do I pay? Do I have to pay in advance?
You pay at the end of the session, in cash or by card. We don't ask for payment in advance, except for the pass.
Is there a minimum number of hours?

No advance notice is needed: you can book whenever you like, even for the same day, as long as there is availability.
What if I need to cancel or change the time?
Please let us know 24 hours in advance. For now we don't charge any cancellation fee and we are flexible.
Do you rent rooms long-term or by the month?

No. You can bring your own cymbals or rent ours for €3 in a Standard room or €5 in the Premium room, per full session, regardless of the number of hours.
Can I bring my own equipment?
Yes. Every band can bring whatever they like: cymbals, amps, lights… There is a garage door to unload your gear easily.
Do you rent instruments?
Yes, we rent cymbals, keyboards, microphones, guitars and basses. Rental is per full session, not per hour.
Do you rent equipment for events or gigs?
Yes. If you need a drum kit, amps or a PA for an event outside Es Niu, we rent that too. The price depends on what you need: message us on WhatsApp or call +34 623 91 22 18 and we'll prepare a quote.
Can we record our rehearsal?
Yes, you can record. We don't provide recording equipment, so you'll need to bring your own.

Do you offer music lessons?
Es Niu doesn't employ teachers, but many music teachers give lessons in our rooms and we can put you in touch with them.
Are there any rules in the rooms?
No food or drink is allowed inside the rooms. Please be on time arriving and leaving, as another band usually comes in after you, and don't open the door of a room while a band is playing.
