We had a private double room, which was a very nice, with high wooden walls and a ceiling. It contained air condition and an enclosed bathroom, which was a bit musty and moldy. All in all okay and worth the money, nevertheless. We went out for breakfast as it was very minimalistic... Staff helped were they could and were very friendly.

Hostel in good location. Staff was really very helpful. Only donwside was that the bathroom did not have lock and the sink tap could not be really closed wasting water. Maybe they could do some renovation in the house. It is a decent place to stay.

We are 4 blocks from the main square, in the same central area of the city. You did book for one day, they were three, they went and returned to stay one more day. Were a weekend in a backpackers hostel, not a hotel ..

A nice little hostel. The staff were really great & helpful, the hot water worked some of the time and the the wifi didn't work when you left the common area.

My favorite hostel so far :) I had such great time there! The staff is very nice and very helpful, helped me arrange for tours and transportation. Diego is great and took us all out in the evening to discover great local venues - La Casa del Molino, etc... Overall I felt very comfortable there and would advise this hostel to anyone :)

The staff is really friendly and welcoming and most speak English fluently. The location is a five minute walk right outside of the center of town. Breakfast very basic, kitchen is good but not very clean. Downside: there is not enough hot water for all the guests, 2 days I could not take a shower because too many people already had theirs and the water turned ice cold. The matrasses should have been replaced years ago. I wouldn.t recommend but have seen a lot worse and dorm rate was low.
