Estancia súper conveniente y genial
Pros:

Me gustó la ubicación, el personal, las actividades que planifican y también los servicios a disposición de los clientes.

Cons:

En realidad todo estaba perfecto, pero quizá para gente que le cueste dormir es un poco molesto el ruido de fuera ya que estás en todo el centro y hay muchas discotecas cerca.

It's a central international hub to meet interesting people from all over the world.
Pros:

From the moment I arrived at Viajero Casco Viejo Hostel late at night, I was impressed by the customer service provided by Cineisy at the 24 hour reception front desk who escorted me to my lovely little room with high ceilings and a shared art deco bath around the corner. I woke up in the perfectly air conditioned private room and felt as though I was in Europe. The vintage building, the private and shared French balconies throughout the 6 floors of the beautiful hostel, the gorgeous tile work in the common area lounge along with the hip faux marble tables and comfortable sofas made me feel as if I had gone back in a time machine. This hostel depicts and reflects the best of what is so special about Casco Viejo.

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

muy cómodo y agradable
Pros:

He venido a viajero hostel esta vez porque ya estuve hace dos meses en el mismo hostal y quedé muy contenta. La atención es muy buena y la limpieza, comodidad y gestión también. Quise volver porque aquí me he sentido muy cómoda y considero que está ubicado en muy buena zona. Lo recomiendo 100%. Me atendieron Milena, Yair y Ángel y me ayudaron en todo lo que pudieron. Estoy muy satisfecha con el trato y con el hostal :)

Hotel a buen precio comparado con el nivel de precios del entorno
Pros:

El sitio era muy céntrico y seguro, el personal de recepción muy amable, nos permitieron dejar el equipaje hasta avanzada la tarde.

Cons:

El sitio era muy ruidoso, por las discotecas de los alrededores, aunque esto no es atribuible al hotel.

Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena

Cons:

Las instalaciones son antiguas por lo que las piezas se ven algo deterioradas, además el colchón de las camas son muy delgados, pero para una estadía corta sirve muy bien.

El sector es ruidoso pero en todo el casco viejo es así
