I found the guitar-playing reception staff gave the entrance area a certain charm. The staff was helpful and friendly. Large room.

Unfortunately, the room was way too cold for me. The small heater in the room does not manage to properly warm up the large room in the few hours it runs (evenings and mornings). Although several blankets are provided, so I could fall asleep easily in the evenings. After a few hours with the heater turned off, even these were not enough. There was no radiator in the bathroom, so it was freezing cold.

I didn't think there would be so many people in one room, but it was my responsibility to check beforehand

A lot of noise at night and early morning, impossible to sleep with people walking around, cleaning, etc.

Very beautiful and welcoming structure

Only the location.

Hostel with a tenement look, very old building and completely stuffy, if you have asthma, never go! The entire hostel smelled like a bathroom and they put us in another room, not the one I had chosen (which seemed more airy). After complaining, the hostel receptionist sent us to another unit of the chain, the hostel providencia, which was a little better, but also with very old facilities, because of this, we were left without electricity. Terrible experience!
