Sin duda uno de los mejores hostales que he visitado. Más que una estancia, me sentí como en casa. La impecable limpieza, la comodidad, la ubicación y la buena vibra de su staff hicieron mi visita una gran experiencia. Me voy con buenas anécdotas y mejor aún, grandes amistades. Special thanks to Emanuel. What a top fella 😎

Excellent location. Spotlessly clean. The washrooms could use a bit of maintenance. But clean. Some fellow hostellers were loud past the 11 pm quiet time. Excellent staff.
