O hotel deixa a desejar! Em partícular o quarto no. 1 é péssimo, sem janela, com cheiro de mofo. Ressalvo a excepcional boa vontade e atenção da recepcionista, muito amável e delicada. Infelizmente não gravei seu nome.

La ubicación de este hostal es buenísima, Pero es lo único bueno que tiene, la habitación que nos dieron tenía un fuerte olor a humedad además no tenía ventana , aunque la habitación no estaba sucia, estaba mal mantenida , El techo ya no es de madera marrón o natural ahora el techo es blanco aunque se ve mal acabado y las paredes están pintadas con cuidado el baño es muy pequeño y la ducha no se ve limpia, lo que muestran las fotos no es lo que es en realidad. No volveré a este hotel

The best part about this hostel was the location. The rooms look cool, but there are several things that could be improved. - About a week before we were due to check in, we were charged the first night's stay. In the fine print of our reservation, it states that we would be charged for the first night's stay if we cancelled after a certain date, but it doesn't say that you will pre-emptively be charged this amount on that day. When we saw this charge we grew worried that our reservation hadn't gone through. - The wifi doesn't really work in the rooms (or at least it didn't in our room). - The room smelled very strongly of mothballs. - There is a club right across the street so if you are in one of the rooms that face the street be aware that the music will be blasting until 3 or 4 in the morning.
