The prize is expensive in comparison with the facilities. It’s not a modern facility.
Confortable accommodations, and the staff is excellent.

“Decent for the price. Would have been a good value if the mattresses were better.”

Mattresses were not as comfortable as they should be. Needed replacement.
Location was excellent, one block from the main shopping area.

Good location, one street from the main strip, but that is pretty much it. The room were ok, but the beds were very uncomfortable, noisy. Breakfast was very simple, still running out of food all the time....coffee is terrible, like dishwater. Staff don't speak English at all, very difficult to communicate or get help.
Convenient location.

The many stairs. The breakfast was rather poor even compared to other places of similar category. Although we had booked more than a month in advance, all of a sudden there was no double room with a double bed available for us. Eventually the beds were pulled together. It was very difficult to shorten the length of our stay and the manager said several times that he was the only loser by this change. In my view and experience passengers do change their travel plans due to various reasons and, trying to make us feel bad about it was not the most professional way to deal with the situation.
The location is perfect: near the Main Street and still in a rather quite area.

“Good location in a quiet street”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
Room was way too hot and couldn't find a radiator to turn it off. We had to keep the door open while we were in the room and only managed to sleep once we found that a window at the top of the door could be opened.
Good location close to the main street but on a quiet side road. Helpful staff who very patiently did their best with my limited Spanish and arranged a taxi to the airport in the morning. Spacious room with good bathroom- everything very clean.

“Generally acceptable for the price.”

The steps to get to the office and your room is brutal if you have heavy luggage. Upon arrival, we were told the city had no water. The first day, we had no hot water i our room for half the day. Only for a hour. The last half of the day, there was no water at all. I had to beg to get the manager to give us water to wash up. Interestingly, we ate out all day long. All the nearby restaurants were operating as normal -- no indication of a water shut-off. The heat was on in the room when we checked in, even though it was 28C or 78F. We told the manager. She came over, took a look, and said it was on minimum so that was ok. She opened the windows. That helped a little, but not much. The temperature the next day was even hotter. That day, thankfully, we had both hot and cold water. However, leaving the windows open all day and all night didn't cool down the room. We had difficulty sleeping. The third day, we complained about the heat again. This time, the manager managed to turn the heater off. Thankfully, our last two days were uneventful. I understand things happen, but would have appreciated some compensation for our inconvenience.
Sylvia was very charming and tried to help as much as possible. Always trying to accommodate. We communicated via Google Translate. The room is very basic, but sufficient for the price.

The room was really really hot and not possible to open a window or lower the heat, and could use a bit more light. Also breakfast was terrible with limited options.
Awesome cost benefit, good wifi, perfect location - right next to downtown and all the walking.

“Not recommendable”

It's all a bit too worn out (old furniture) and it surely could use some good cleaning. The toothpaste of previous guest was still visible and the shower curtain had black mold on it.
I liked the set up of the building. You'll have your own entrance.

“Great location - but service/breakfast not up to scratch”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Stayed 2 nights
For me, the breakfast provided and service were poor. On day one, the bread for toast was stale and no bread choice. There were no pastries available. On day two, there were pastries but no clean plates for my toast. I had to recycle a used plate from another table. I just didn't experience any sense of service - if I were to visit again - I'd try somewhere else.
The location is great - a few minutes walk from the main restaurant strip. The rooms are good size with nice bathroom and shower. Good Wi-Fi in room and Lobby.

The breakfast is very poor, but considering that is a hostel it was fine. But, the bed was terrible. I have never slept in a mattress is so bad condition like that in my life. Totally uncomfortable. Also, the heater in the room was so hot, that I couldn't sleep. The window had no locker, the hostel has no lift, which make very difficult to carry bags. The shower is hot, and suddenly hit you with a freezing water. And that keep going on and on, hot, cold, hot, cold..... The lights in the room also terrible. It's very dark. The cleanliness is poor. I found a used receipt under my pillow, that shows they don't change linen often. The staff was very helpful, but no English at all, except for the guy named Renato, he was really helpful.
Location is good.
