Tardaron en darme el alojamiento porque no estaba limpia la habitación y no estaba el personal. El servicio no incluye ni toalla ni shampoo (debería con lo que se paga). El baño bueno. La habitación regular. La ubicación muy buena y el concerje todo bien. Pero está viejo el lugar. Podría estar en mejores condiciones.

Only if your desperate

As a hostel, it lacks that certain kindred spirit I find at most every other hostel I’ve stayed in. Mainly, I suspect because it’s in a part of town that has the homeless element ever present. Just my opinion, I probably wouldn’t stay there again if I could make other arrangements. If it was my only option the only way I’d consider it was if it was cheaper than the $50 I paid. More like a $20 a night spot imho
