While the hostel itself was fine, our experience there was only mediocre due to our arrival experience. We had booked a double room with shared washroom only to arrive and find twin beds awaiting us. The woman working there assured us the mistake was made on hostelworlds part as she didn´t have that room available. It would have been a nice gesture to bump us up to the double room with private bath and split the difference of the additional cost. She said the fault lay with hostelworld.

Clean and relaxed place. About 10-15 walking minutes away from the town center and busstation, which in my opinion is a good thing.

I booked this hostel on line a day before I arrived. Unfortunately, when I arrived the lady who owned the place stated that she never heard of my reservation. She couldnt speak English nor was she willing to assist us to find another hostel.

The hostel looks really nice from outside... inside it was a bit disappointing... The kitchen was not so good equipped than the description told but there was enough space to cook. The staff did not care a lot about the guests, it seems that it is only about making money. There is no special atmosphere but more or less the hostel was ok.

It is not one of the cheapest hostels, but you feel that it is worth the little extra. It looks nice and the common areas is very relaxing. The kitchen is okey, have most of the thing you need but extremy little room in the fridge. It is an calm hostel and after 24.00 is their no where to go at the hostel to hangout anymore, that was a little pitty. But is a clean and freash hostel with service minded staff.

Courtesy taxi from the bus station was much apreciated. Friendly staff who were helpful with booking tours. Small but clean room. Great showers. Reliable internet. Kitchen a little light on with utensils etc. Breakfast also a little light on. Overall pretty good value for money. We enjoyed our stay and would reccomend this place to other young couples.

Very nice hostel, we stayed in a private room which was basic but clean. Staff were helpful but not always around. Plenty of space in kitchen and dining room was big. breakfast was basic bread and jam.

Very helpful staff, and very nice hostel over all. Breakfast could have been better since it was included, but as it only entailed bread and marmelade, it would have been better to do breakfast on our own. Excellent with kitchen access. Good showers and wi fi. Hostelworld had some errors on the booking site for stating Double Bed, when this in fact was Twin Bed. Simply a bad translation from 'Cama Doble' which means twin bed. However, the great staff solved it and gave us a room with double bed
