Fiquei satisfeita
Pros:

Todos os funcionários foram agradáveis e atenciosos com a gente.
Ótima localização. Tava tendo uma obra na rua q dificultava nosso acesso, mas coisas q são alheias a administração do hostel.
Quarto muito limpo, faziam limpeza e trocavam as toalhas todos os dias.

Cons:

O acesso é somente por escada.
O quarto é pequeno, sem janela, mas apesar disso, não tinha cheiro de mofo e nossas roupas de banho secaram sem problema.
Chuveiro sem água quente, mas tb não foi um problema como eu achei q seria. A água é fresca e não fria.

La pasé bien, Daniel es una persona servicial y aparte te brindan paquetes turísticos accesibles.
Pros:

La ubicación, el ruido externo no incomodaba realmente.

Cons:

Todo estuvo dentro de lo esperado.
Se malogró el aire acondicionado, pero nos cambiaron de habitación con prontitud.
No tengo de que quejarme ;) .

Worst stay of our trip
Pros:

The hosts were friendly.

Cons:

Very noisy (super loud music from the disco nextdoors), old rooms, openings in the wall to the shared bathroom from which we could hear and smell everything.

Buen sitio para salir de fiesta
Pros:

El personal es super atento y amable y nos dió todo tipo de indicaciones y buenas sugerencias de donde ir, donde comer y que hacer. La cama es cómoda y la almohada igual y está a 20 metros de la zona de pubs , bares , etc

Cons:

El ruido de circulación de los coches pitando todo el rato y de una discoteca que hay justo al lado hacia imposible dormir hasta que cerraban todo a las 4. Si vas a salir de fiesta está en todo el centro de la fiesta y es perfecto pero si quieres descansar hasta las 4 el ruido no me dejo dormir. En mi caso el primer día me levanté de la cama a las 12 de la.noche aburrido de tanto ruido y me fui de fiesta. El segundo día llegué directamente a las 5 ,pero a las 9 ya estaban los coches pitando todo el rato y no pude descansar.
