Interesting hostel with a few quirks. The rooms themselves are fairly clean, but you'll have to deal with super thin curtains which pose an issue when It comes to privacy. For some reason all the toilets don't have a toilet seat, so you're forced to sit on porcelain. There are three individual cubicles, but one them has a door which doesn't shut properly; another has a showerhead which is encrusted in lime scale and barely emits any water, so in actuality, only one works.

I had a great time at this hostel! Good facilities, friendly staff, cute yard. What stood out completely for me was the kindness and care the owner extended to me. Not long after arriving, I began to feel really ill and feverish. By midnight, I was not ok, and not in a state to try to speak Spanish to a doctor. She found me an emergency clinic that was open, then accompanied me there in the middle of the night, helping to talk to the drs until I was admitted for the night. Thank you so much 💕
