Lo demás estuvo de diez pero eso no destruyó la cabeza el no poder dormir

Cons:

El único día que nos alojamos para dormir y salir en el avión a la madrugada no pudimos dormir porque las paredes retumbaban y cuando bajamos nos dimos cuenta que hay un boliche o baile a bajo....

No se ajusta al precio que cobran mucho ruido
Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

La habitación no tenía ventilación y el hueco conectaba con la sala de estar donde siempre estaba la televisión encendida con partido de fútbol y a todo volumen. El timbre de la calle parecía que sonaba en la habitación y la gente siempre estaba hablando en voz alta sin importar si era día o noche .
Un chiche pegado, falta de limpieza.

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.

Pros:

La ubicación, el ruido externo no incomodaba realmente.
