Alba

Disliked: Amenities
Está limpio, el personal es amable, la habitación en precio porque no te ponen agua, jabón, ni hay televisor. Lo otro, es que se escucha TODO en las anotaciones de planta baja. Y es molesto porque a medianoche hay gente caminando y nada discretos. Un estacionamiento minúsculo te hace maniobrar mucho cuando sales y solo para autos pequeños. Pasable.

Good Hostel

Only a few blocks from centro, I'm glad I stayed here. The room could be a little cold at times, but there were thick blankets so I didn't mind. There are cheaper options as far as hostels go, but I enjoyed my stay here.

El ruido entre habitaciones se escuchan entre ellas, encontramos arañas por lo que no se descansa bien., el desayuno que ofrece es pan con mantequilla, mermelada , café o te y plátano. Si esta muy cerca de los andadores a 5 mints caminando y de los museos entre 10 y 15 minutos. El personal se esmera por resolver los inconvenientes y ser amables.
