Bed in a 14 Person Shared Dormitory

MartaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Impressive historic building, very authentic. It is impeccable and clean at all times. The staff is very professional, accessible and friendly. The upstairs room is very peaceful and quiet. The bathroom was always free. I had a lot of privacy and I was very comfortable. The spaces are very welcoming. Individual bathrooms with a sink and showers with double the space to leave things and change. My only suggestion is that the women's bedrooms are more expensive and I don't think that's appropriate. We must create safe spaces for women, especially travelers who are alone, and have the same prices.

A bunk bed in a cozy room features a lower double mattress and an upper single mattress, each with neatly arranged linens. Natural light fills the space through a large window dressed in floral curtains, complemented by a round mirror on the wall.

Hostel Bed in 6-Bed FEMALE Dorm - Shared Bathroom

ValeriaRating, 5 stars8 months ago

The place is nice. All the staff is very friendly. In my case there were people who spoke Spanish, so that helped me a lot. At the reception they can lend you a padlock to store your things in the lockers that are under the bunk beds. In my room there were 6 beds and a bathroom, but they have more bathrooms available for the whole place. In the kitchen there is plenty of space to store your things or cook. It also has spaces to sit and hang out.
