Pros:

Gemütliches kleines sehr ruhiges Hostel. Außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Vor unserer Tour auf den Vulkan hat man uns noch schnell das leckere Frühstück vorzeitig zubereitet. Rucksack kostenlos bis zu unserer Rückkehr aufbewahrt. Ich komme gerne wieder, einfach alles super nett und sehr sehr sauber hier.

Would come back!!
Pros:

The location was amazing, and the courtyard was so lovely!! We didn’t realize we would be here during the religious ceremonies leading up to Easter, and it was absolutely magical to open the door and watch the processions!

Cons:

Crossing the courtyard to use the bathrooms wasn’t my favorite, but also absolutely worth it for the price & location.

Pros:

Posizione comodissima, su una delle vie principali. Personale molto disponibile e colazione preparata al momento. I bagni, anche se condivisi, erano sempre puliti.
Inoltre, su nostra richiesta e a pagamento, hanno organizzato una navetta per venirci a prendere in aeroporto. Consigliatissimo.

Great value
Pros:

Great price for a private room, comfortable bed, and fan. Everything was very clean, bathrooms, trash, and water easily accessible. They allow.early baggage drop off.

Cons:

The showerhead in one of the bathrooms was basically nonfunctional with most of the water coming out of a leak in the pipe close to the wall and only very hot water trickling out of the actual shower head. The other two showers may have been better.

Pros:

Good location near the Iglesia La Merced, super clean, and great value. The beds were comfortable and there was a fan to keep cool.

Cons:

Breakfast is a little small (1 slice of toast, small portion of refried beans and scrambled egg), although they did give us one more piece of bread when we asked. And it is tasty!

Would stay here again for a night or two!
Pros:

Great location, amazing value! The room was comfortable, clean and so were the shared bathrooms! They had free water for consumption also. Great for a stopover. In our case, we arrived at night so just for sleeping a night it was great. The staff was very friendly and the room was warm and cozy.

Cons:

Breakfast was very small, but for the price I guess its ok.
