Pros:

Location is nice

Cons:

They had no running water two out of three nights that I stayed here. Poor communication at the time and a hostel is a very suboptimal place to not have water for cooking or showering. I ultimately asked for a refund which I rarely do, and was told no.

Pros:

Everything is splendid really. I have stayed in the hostel previously and loved it, but I didn't expect such a nice private room, this time with my spouse, for such a good value.

Cons:

We love Magnolia Inn and Casco Viejo ! :-)
