    The location is very central, the hostel seems very secure, very quiet and I felt very safe. It was clean, much nicer than I expected, the entrance hallway when you walk into the main hostel area is a treat. This was my first time staying in a hostel with other people and bunk beds in 20 odd years, and it was great to meet and speak to other people.

    The hostel is in excellent location, it is a few minutes walk from Plaza Mayor. Or though the room was small (my own economy choice) it was very clean. I had my own bathroom, fridge, safe, air conditioning, TV, Wi-Fi. Staff is nice and helpful. Also grocery shop Dia is just near by. Definitely recommend for budget oriented traveler who just needs to spend a few nights in the very center. They have rooms for different budgets also.

    Really lovely and friendly place to stay! The staff were accommodating from the outset and make lots of recommendations on the best places to sight see. The rooms were spacious and clean and the beds were comfy, all facilities working perfectly. The hostel is in a great location all round and there’s a really welcoming atmosphere as they arrange lots of group activities and dinners so you feel settled in straight away. Would recommend to anyone, especially if you’re a female solo traveller as it feels very safe!
