Decent but not great
Pros:

Not a social hostel, but pretty chill. You can rent bikes here for cheaper than downtown, but they are in poor conditions (the brakes on my bike did not work).

Cons:

The host does not give you a key to the hostel itself so you have to ring a doorbell, sometimes having to wait a while outside for them to open.
The bathrooms are bigger than the kitchen

Muy buen lugar 👌🏻
Pros:

El lugar es muy limpio, la flexibilidad para entrar y salir es muy independiente, no se escuchó bulla en ningún momento hay varios baños y nunca estaban llenos había agua caliente. En general todo muy bien

Cons:

Alomejor en épocas más heladas quizás la frazada puede ser muy delgada, pero todo en general bien.

Decepcionante
Pros:

La comodidad de las camas y el espacio común que tiene el hostel.

Cons:

Elegimos este hostel porque tenía reseñas buenas, pero fue una decepción. Tiene 4 baños, sin embargo, casi nunca había papel higiénico, en ninguno. Una tarde, al encontrarnos de nuevo con esta situación, le pedimos a la madre o suegra del dueño si podía poner papel (era la que estaba por ahí) y nos dijo que era raro porque ella había puesto en la mañana. Ese día mi amiga y yo éramos las únicas alojadas en el hostel y habíamos salido bien temprano en la mañana y regresamos tarde, entonces no entendimos por qué la sospecha con respecto al papel. Era terrible todos los días enfrentarse a que los baños no tuvieran papel, tener que pedir. Cuando en la mayor parte de nuestra estancia fuimos las únicas alojadas. Otra cuestión era la limpieza de los baños. Siempre había uno o dos con orina dentro y fuera del inodoro, y un día también materia fecal. Asumimos que era de los niños, hijos del dueño, pero era un asco. Realmente todos los días algún baño estaba sucio. Por último, problemas con el agua caliente. El día que llegamos nos bañamos con agua fría porque en la tarde hacía calor y no nos importó. Cuando le dijimos al dueño, su madre o suegra dijo que era raro porque ese día había agua. Al día siguiente, lo mismo, y nos dijo que había dos baños que estaban sin agua caliente. La tarde anterior a irnos, mismo problema. Mi amiga salió a decirle al dueño, que constató que se había acabado el gas. Lo cambió pero otra vez no salía agua caliente, así que mi amiga tuvo que volver a salir de la ducha para avisarle. Finalmente lo pudo arreglar. El problema es que el agua salía hirviendo. Entonces había que elegir entre calcinarse o pasar frío.

Pros:

Lo que más me gusto , fue la hospitalidad y amabilidad de Wilson y Mary, además que teníamos disponibilidad a todo horario para utilizar la cocina y lo que mas agradezco es que nos dejaron quedarnos después del checa in , en las dependencias del hostal hasta que saliera nuestro bus a las 20:00 hrs. Asi que 100% recomendado el lugar , 👌..queda a 10 minutos caminando al centro ..

Good
Pros:

Very quiet and peaceful place, good as for this standard accommodation. Nothing here is private - everything shared. Booking.com sometimes shows that there is private kitchen or bathroom. Only your room will be not shared if you chose this one.

Overpriced
Pros:

Bed was comfortable, space outside the room to sit was nice, powerful hot shower and basic kitchen facilities enabled us to cook for ourselves. Fan in the room.

Cons:

Overpriced. We found the accommodation to be poor value for money. For the price you paid I would have at least expected a towel-booking.com didn’t say towels were included but they were in the photos on the beds.
WiFi never worked properly despite having several wifi connections available. That meant the smart tv was useless.
The bathroom and kitchen were cleaned every day but a more thorough clean was needed in the bathroom-people left their half used soaps in the shower which were left there for multiple days covered in hair. The shower also didn’t drain very well so you were ankle deep in water by the end of your shower. Half of the days we were there the shower mat was removed so the floor was very slippery when stepping out of the shower.
More bowls needed in the kitchen.
Really didn’t like the way the owners treated their dog. It was chained up outside and as our room was next to the street we constantly heard the dog barking or pulling on its chain.

Doublebooked
Pros:

Good problem-solving

Cons:

Our room was double booked so we got put in another airbnb further away from the centre. Then we got a room at Tiny Hostel the last night, but it was a worse room that we initially had booked...

Fortunately I only booked one night, never again. Would have left earlier too
Pros:

The inner courtyard is very large and beautifully decorated, bicycles are available for hire

Cons:

The dog ran around freely, first with a muzzle, then suddenly without. Why?
The bed assigned to me was dirty.
There are NO lockers, but there is a sign at reception saying that the hostel is not liable for lost items - that's funny.
As I wanted to go back into town, I took my valuables with me and left my rucksack in the room. When I came back, I noticed that 1 zipper was slightly open. I thought it was strange, but I thought I might have opened it by mistake.
When I packed up my things this morning I noticed that 2 more zippers were clearly open -> someone had definitely gone through my things, who knows, nothing was missing at first glance, but the feeling is not nice!
This is the first time this has happened to me (so obviously).

Keys for the gate are only available on request, the man at reception can't remember my name or whether I've already paid.

I had to pay in cash, but today a customer was able to pay by card, strange ...
