I liked my stay. The owner is great, it's cheaper than other alternatives and the location is good. I wouldn't really call it a typical hostel, as it is 1 room with 6 beds in a normal house. For example there is no desk, no constantly present personnel. It more feels like you're staying at someone's house. All in all fine.

The kitchen is important to many customers ...they want to use it for cooking.There is difficult ...if the owner is sitting all day in from 8 am until 8pm inside ( like in office )and kitchen is so tiny??? Bathroom is not enough for 8 peoples in that small flat.There are 2 renting rooms only. Double without window.(There is a door into strange ,dark square corridor and toilet window...you can listen everybody bussiness ...) and dorm for 5 with bunk-beds.No lockers. Very scary street...

This was the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed at by far. The owner was extremely nice, and I was able to have a good conversation with the cleaner who was extremely nice as well. I had only had one roommate the first night, so it was really nice and quiet. The bathroom was clean but pretty small. The free wi-fi worked great the whole time. There was no breakfast (although he made coffee one morning), but this was the lowest-priced hostel I've stayed at yet, so that didn't bother me.

Overall this hostel was just OK. Thankfully, we got a private room, but the shared rooms were pretty awful and the bathroom is pretty old. The money you pay is clearly just for the location.

Don't go to this apartment just because it is cheap! The owner is a terrible man! We checked out at noon and wanted to leave our luggage at the apartment because our plane left in the evening. He refused us to cook in the kitchen and asked us to remove our luggage from "his place." He said it was his place, and that after we checked out, we were not supposed to be there. This is the most horrible experience I have ever had in a hostel or b&b.

Is NOT a Hotel, is a private house who offers bedrooms. Our bedroom was small, with recicled furniture from the kitchen, bathroom... and the matress was awfull. The common bathroom is really small and dirty. I would NOT recomend this house for the price we paid (58€ 1 night!!!!!) no breakfast included. Sourroundings are extrange and scary. NEVER AGAIN.

El dueño Rolando es amigable y te ayuda con lo que necesites, en ese sentido perfecto. La casa es un poco vieja y descuidada, pero calidad precio es aceptable. Barato sin grandes lujos

Good internet connection, excellent location. It is in few minute walking distance to almost EVERYTHING. Rolando is super friendly and helpful. A warm welcome, comfort stay and good internet connection, in a central area where you have access to all the historical sites, food, shopping center and disco. What else can a traveler ask for :)? THUMBS UP!!!

This hostel was really great. The location is perfect - right downtown and within walking distance to all the major sights (the city is really small). Our host, Rolando, was accommodating and friendly. The bed was comfortable and we had access to kitchen, which was really convenient.

Its a hostel ran out of an apartment but not badly priced


70%

The location is amazing, near to SMN station and all touristic places, museums and stuff, and close enough to walk to the nightlife spots.. The apartment is a bit hidden, but easy to find with the instructions, the room was good, only one bathroom for everybody but it was never so crowded we couldn't wait... it's a good place to crash for a good price :)

The hostel is very good, it is situated on great location, it is near a train stacion and near a city centar. It has a shared bathroom and a kitchen that is usable. It has everything what you need for a good stay.

I had a little trouble following the directions written on hostelworld, but it all got sorted out by calling the hostel. It's so great, the place, I really liked it. And it was so small, it felt like a little apartment, all nice and cosy. It's not so far from the train station and the owner is great. And it's so cheap, really you can't go wrong with this hostel.
