    Minor issues. Pillows flat, need replacing. WD 40 required on the bathroom door, squeaks like hell. Couldn't access WiFi but had own data.

    Served the purpose, cheap, hot shower, spacious room

    Well, practically everything was fine, except for the slight smell in the bathroom.

    I'm glad I just found a cheaper place than the cave house, but also in the old town among the winding streets. The old house is charming, the interior, wooden ceiling beams, the view from the huge kitchen window is great. There is everything you need, a large library for guests. It's quiet, peaceful around, well, maybe it's not the tourist season. If I travel through those places, I will definitely choose this hostel.

    This is a wonderful, quirky, hostel-style accommodation. I can normally be a little wary of hostels or booking places that have a similar setup but La Casona de la Luz defied my expectations. In a cozy space with your own bathroom and hot water (very important to me) I had a great visit here... the kitchen is well stocked for cooking and making coffee, and overall the space is quiet and has a nice view of the city. The price was an excellent value.

    Nothing.

    Lovely old (we were told 1000yrs old) house set up like a UK hostel with some private rooms and some bunk rooms. We had a private room with a private bathroom and it was just like a nice hotel. The shared kitchen was well equipped and overlooked the courtyard. No Aircon in the room but it didn't need it. The host Gabriel was very welcoming.

    In the summer it was a bit warm in the room at night although there was some common air condition in the house. The rooms are just separated by walls not going all the way to the cieling, so the rooms are not very sound proof. I think we were alone and was not bothered by this.

    Very cozy house with a nice common kitchen. Basic lodging, but clean and friendly. The kids loved the kittens in the back yard, and were invited to pet with them by the friendly staff at the house. Back yard was used for concert in the evening the day we arrived, but was over before we got back from our excursion in the city (11pm).

    Gabriel was a fantastic host during my stay. He told me about the interesting history of his 1000 year old property and even took me on an evening walking tour where he tour where I learned about some of the interesting legends connected with the town, some of them spooky stories. I really admired the style, décor, and ambience of historic building. Strongly recommended for those who are not only interested in comfort, but also culture and history.

    There were people smoking cigarettes inside the rooms, and the entire place smelled very bad. I told Gabriel, the owner, and according to him he spoke with the smokers, but in the 3 days I was there it smelled very bad of cigarette smoke.

    Overall the place is nice
