Pros:

Good value, clean but very run-down property in a central location. Secure and no frills, good for a night.

Cons:

No hot water in the shower I used. Had difficulty leaving the property in the early morning as could not find any staff to open the secure entrance. I would recommend leaving a little extra time if leaving early. Tip: keep on ringing the entry buzzer continually until someone wakes up.

Pros:

La proximitat al centre

Cons:

Difícil de entrar i més difícil de sortir_ne. Sempre està tancat i costa molt de trobar algú que obri la porta. Algun dia més d'una hora per poder sortir. I no et deixen clau de la porta de fora

Pros:

Precio y cercanía.

Cons:

No hay baño privado, y todo está sucio. La Dueña se levanta tarde y no puedes salir hasta que se levante... Increíble.

Practical and affordable.
Pros:

The price, a solo room, and it is one block by 1/2 a block from the center of town, which makes everything accessible. There are numerous commuter buses within a few blocks.

Good value, very basic
Pros:

For the price I paid US$16 it was acceptable and good value. Secure, with an efficient if nonchalant check-in and out, but overall very basic. Room shabby and run down but a clean mattress and sheets helped with a good nights sleep. The shared bathrooms were also very clean. Quiet at night and a great central location.

Cons:

Room flooring worn and dirty, window slats missing, fixtures broken. Could be much improved.

Adorable and friendly.
Pros:

Great area, I didn’t even know but it was on the same block as my favorite restaurant! The staff were lovely, the place was clean and the owner was so sweet. I ended up getting a private room for no extra charge and it worked out because my trip was during the first anniversary of my fathers death and the private space was appreciated!! Will come back again!!

No hot water when it is cold, cleanliness not a priority and livked in jail.
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Dirty, no hot water, access into and out of place is manual and depends on someone coming to unlock the door, so feels like a jail. Either early in the morning or late at night you can spend more than ten minutes ringing the bell for a person to open the gate. Terrible.
