Buena ubicación

El Hostal está muy bien ubicado, el personal amable, la habitación amplia y muy limpia, mi incoveniente fue que la habitación que me tocó está ubicada justo con una ventana que dá hacia la calle, afuera hay parada de autobuses durante el día y la tarde el ruido de los camiones, los autos y las personas afuera es incesante, y por la noche hay un club nocturno justo a un lado y el ruido no para, así que me fue imposible realmente dormir y descansar con el exceso de ruido de la calle.

Good Option for a Cheap and Convenient Place

My stay here was good. The staff was super friendly and helpful if I had any questions; when I checked in the guy at the reception offered some suggestions of places to check out. I had a single ensuite room which was nice. It was nothing fancy but was great for what I needed. The room had no AC (it did have a fan) but luckily at night it was pretty cool so wasn't an issue. They're doing a lot of road work in the immediate area so it's not the greatest right now but the hostel is a quick 15-min walk to the historic area which makes it pretty convenient. There didn't seem to be a lot of socializing among guests so if you're looking for a place to meet others and hang out, might not be the best option. The place was good for what I needed but it's nothing fancy; you get what you pay for.

Affordable, convenient, well-run

Reception was flexible in checking us in when we arrived late in the evening. The included breakfast was simple but a good start to the day. Very close to downtown and various restaurants; however, located about a block inside a rough neighbourhood, so be careful.
