Bring earplugs. This place was great and price was wonderful but it was like sleeping in a tin can. You can hear everything ricocheting down the halls. Also it’s above a very busy plaza. People will be up outside laughing till 5am. I would stay there again though.

This was a full-on backpackers lodge which I wasn’t expecting. Generally unmanned. The lady who serviced the rooms was nice. Great location, right on the doorstep of restaurants and cafes. Easy to walk to historic sites. Between 2 and 4 flights of narrow stairs, no elevator. Room small. No tv. Tiny tiny shower was the worst feature. Location and air con were the best features. Wouldn’t stay again but only because my expectations were of a hotel.

I had reservations booking a hostal as I’ve never really slept in one before. This was in a great location, the communication was very good even when I struggled with the touch screen self service key card. I had help straight away. The room was super basic but the bed was clean and comfortable, the towels were fresh and the shower hot. No frills but all I did was sleep and I slept very well

Mucho ruido y malo en confort

Cama muy incómoda, horrible. Se escucha mucho el ruido de otras habitaciones, y del pasillo cuando la gente sale y entra. Paredes como de papel. Ducha minúscula, aunque con presión de agua buena. No hay televisión. Servicio muy rápido de check-in y un buen detalle el café y agua gratis en recepción. Aún así no volvería por el confort de la habitación.

El cuarto de baño es minúsculo, la ducha es talla S y la cortina es una segunda piel porque no hay espacio. Unos arreglitos no irían mal. Algunos clientes son irrespetuosos con el descanso de los demás. Pero es céntrico, económico, limpio , climatizado, y tiene detalles con los clientes. No apto para larga estancia.

Well located hostel but noisy

A day or two before arriving, you will receive a message from the hotel with a door entry and booking code. There is a machine in reception where you enter the booking code to receive your key. You then receive an email to say which room is yours. It's a great system. The location of the hostel is very central and there are many restaurants immediately out front, which is both a good and bad thing as the noise goes on til 2am. The room is basic but comfortable. The bathroom is tiny and would be an issue for anyone of a certain size. The biggest issue for me was not being able to reach staff members. The hostel is meant to be 100% smoke free but as soon as the staff leave at 6pm, everyone hangs out their window smoking so I couldn't have my balcony door open because of the smell. I think the dorm rooms are on the fifth floor too as the teens and 20-somethings staying in them would run up and down playing music and making a lot of noise from six. This wasn't every night, but it happened more than once. Even if a staff member doesn't stop in regularly late at night, they should do this now and again to stop this happening and make it clear that people can be viewed smoking on balconies and running around corridors playing loud music and that there would be consequences if this was observed. One last positive is that there is a big Carrefour five minutes away.
