Our brief stay at Hostal El Punto was very enjoyable. It is a short walk to the bus terminal, town square and japanese garden. The bathroom was clean and the bed was decent. The service was great and the building felt very secure. We were able to store our luggage once reception opened at 8am and also switch our breakfast option for our arrival day since we were hungry and leaving very early in the morning our check-out day. Breakfast was a large spread. This isn't a party hostel and was calm.

I didn’t stay here for long, so I didn’t have time to explore the neighbourhood, but there were many good points. First, it’s super close to the bus station. The restaurant at the hostel saved me a lot of time was at a reasonable price. The breakfast buffet was the best and the staff were very helpful. The common areas of the hostel are well designed. Otherwise, ventilatilon in the rooms is lacking and the number of doors to unlock to get in is a bit cumbersome, but that’s all I can think of.
