Fine but wish I found a nicer place to stay for 4 days.
Pros:

Outside our room there was a nice sitting area.

Cons:

The bathroom wasn’t so nice. Clean enough. Since most people take tours and leave early it would be nice if their breakfast time was 6:30am instead of 8am. There was no bathroom except for the room to use.

Muy buena, la mejor ubicacion!!!
Pros:

La mejor ubicación, a media cuadra de Calle Caracoles. Desayuno poco variado pero bueno.
Sino puedes estar en el horario establecido, te dejan una colacion cuando tienes que salir muy temprano por los paseos.
Aseo diario de la habitación. Atencion del personal 10/10, muy amables y atentas, nos ayudaron con todo lo que necesitábamos. Muy agradecidas.
Habitacion sencilla con aire acondicionado, baño pequeño.
Estacionamiento pequeño, pero afortunadamente eramos las únicas con auto.
Escogimos el hostal entre otras cosas porque tenia piscina, y cuando llegamos nos dijeron que no estaba en funcionamiento. Se veía que estaba asi desde hace muchos días, preguntamos cuando se reanudaría el funcionamiento de la piscina y no sabían en que cuanto tiempo, asi que por esa parte descontentas porque contábamos con disfrutar de ese servicio.

Cons:

Toallas con olor a humedad
Piscina sin funcionamiento
Desayuno poco variado
Poca ventilación y mala iluminacion de habitacion y baño, luces muy tenues.
Almohadas un poco duras

AC and Location were the top choices
Pros:

The A/C was the most important asset in a place in the desert.
The breakfast was simple but good. The rooms were clean daily and the common areas were spacious and the swimming pool a great bonus.

Cons:

Small bathroom, little shower. Breakfast time was only between 8 to 10 am.

Pros:

The location is great, close enough to easily walk into town. The little pool was a lovely addition and very welcome after a dusty hot day in the desert.

Cons:

There is a very attractive seating area in the centre of the courtyard but it is designed as a smoking area which means that it becomes very unpleasant for non- smokers to use and the smell drifts into the rooms nearby.

Pros:

Great location and the staff were easily accessible and super friendly. If we were unable to have the supplied breakfast due to the early start of tour, they provided food to go.
