Pros:

도심에서 조금 떨어져 있습니다. 커피를 자유롭게 마실수 있습니다. 오후가 되면 없을수도 있어요 1층 로비는 자유로운 휴식처이며 와이파이 잘 터집니다.오래되어 보이는 가구들 오래된 건축물입니다.온수가 정말 좋습니다.

Cons:

달러로 결재하고 콜론으로 나머지 돈으로 계산하네요. 코드들이 실효성이 없습니다.바닥에서 너무 아래 콘센트 채로 빠지고 보수 필요합니다.게스트하우스인데 공동부엌은 보이지 않았어요. 화장실은 너무 넓어요 현실성 떨어집니다. 늦게까지 도로에서 소리 방음되지 않아요

Pros:

Lugares cómodos, amplios y limpios. La habitación que me tocó tenía un balcón bastante grande con excelente vista, solo hacia falta algunas banquetas, sillas o algo para poder sentarse a disfrutar un poco de eso.

Cons:

Sentí un poco escasa la información cuando hacía alguna consulta, y fue mi primera noche en el país, estaba realmente perdida.

Lindo hostel, bien ubicado y buena relación calidad precio
Pros:

Lindo hostel con buena relación calidad precio. Las habitaciones son espaciosas, colchón y almohadas cómodos y los baños y espacios comunes siempre se encuentran limpios. Tienen café disponible todo el día. Está bien ubicado respecto a la zona céntrica y es fácil moverse desde aquí. Las chicas de recepción se mostraron siempre muy amables y dispuestas a ayudar en lo que necesites.

Cons:

La recepción del hostel no es en el mismo edificio, sino que es en frente, cruzando la calle. Todo funciona con claves de acceso, pero es fácil de usar. En el eficionno hay cocina pero puedes utilizar la cocina del hostel backpackers que está al lado del guesthouse. Pero, el backpackers, es un hostel sucio con mala atención, la.cocina muchas veces se encuentra inutilizable, no recomendable para nada el.backpackers y sus instalaciones.
El guesthouse se encuentra próximo a una vía de tren, por lo que a partir de las 5 de la mañana aproximadamente pasan trenes cada media hora aprox, los.cuales hacen mucho ruido porque pasan tocando su bocina, si.tienes el.sueño.muy liviano quizá esto te incomode. Para mí, que más o menos me despierto a esa hora, no fue gran problema el tema del tren

Great!
Pros:

Stayed 3 times here now. The staff are really nice and helpful, the secure parking is useful, and the private rooms are great value and much better than over the road at the Costa Rica Backpackers. Great value, secure, and a good area for bars and restaurants.

Cons:

The trains can be noisy, bring earplugs and/or get an early start.
