The reviews told me the chances of getting bed bugs was likely. I did get bed bugs. And am now attempting to deal with this which continuing to travel. The actual place was okay but they need to fumigated. If you are ok with bedbugs it’s an okay place. Otherwise. Be warned. Also. The staff were not friendly or helpful in any manner. Basically did the bare minimum and did that under sufferance

fui a una habitación individual y aunque modesta era bastante amplia, las camas digo lo mismo modestas pero muy comodas. El personal que nos atendio muy amable y dandonos facilidades para todo, el dia que marchabamos nos dejaron que dejaramos alli bajo llave el equipaje hasta que quisieramos pasar a recogerlo.

Es muy grande y los baños quedan lejos. Por lo demás es lo que se espera de un Hostal, la gente en recepción siempre te ayuda.

Es de los Hostales más grandes en los que he estado. El único inconveniente que tuve fue que los baños quedaban súper lejos de mi habitación. Más de 100 metros para llegar al baño, creo que me quedaba más cerca el de recepción.
Todo excelente, la sala del comedor acogedora, la cocina amplia y con utensilios.
Las habitaciones en buen estado y cómodas.
El hostal está céntrico y rodeado de sitios de interés. Te puedes movilizar fácilmente andando a cualquier lugar
No me gustó la ducha fuera de la habitación.

Good enough
The location is good, the receptionist is nice and the kitchen is well equipped. The only bad part was that we were 18 in a room so it got very crowded and noisy.
This is a busy hostel. Sort of feels like a bed factory. You get what you paid for, and that’s it. The mixed form is very new to me and I don’t think it should exist.
No ambiance and bathrooms were poorly equipped.

Güzel bir konaklama
18 kişilik odada kalmama rağmen hiç bir pis koku veya rahatsız edici bişey yoktu. Odada iki tane klima var ve sürekli temiz hava veriyor.Yataklar rahat ve otel genel olarak temiz. Merkezi sayılabilcek bir noktada yürüyerek 15 dakikada ana meydana gidebiliyorsunuz. Bidaha gelsem yine burda kalırım garip bir şekilde sevdim. Bagajınızı çıktığınız günün gecesine kadar ücretsiz saklıyolar. Fiyat performans gerçekten iyi bir hostel.
