Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Small rooms and basic facilities — Rooms are compact, and the hostal has limited facilities—no on-site dining, no pets, and no parking.
- Street noise in some rooms — A few guests noted that rooms facing the street can be noisy in the mornings, though quiet rooms are available.
- Staff primarily speak Spanish — Several guests mentioned a language barrier, though staff were consistently described as friendly and helpful.
- Inconsistent air conditioning — One guest reported that the A/C stopped and required reception to turn it back on, which might disrupt sleep in warm weather.
- Limited dining options on-site — There is no breakfast service or restaurant, though nearby cafes provide breakfast options, and a bakery is downstairs.
