Personnel agréable et très sympathique. J’ai eu la chance d’avoir une chambre pour moi seule avec salle de bain incluse.

Équipements un peu vieillissants quand on regarde les autres hostels, mais rapport qualité prix plutôt avantageux et parfaitement situé.

Una estadía que superó mis expectativas

10.0

Me encantó mi estadía en este hostal. El personal fue muy amable y hizo todo lo posible para ubicarme en una habitación solo de mujeres, algo que necesitaba y agradecí muchísimo. Siempre están dispuestos a ayudar y a darte la información que necesites. La cama era cómoda, todo estaba muy limpio, y la cocina estaba bien equipada. El área común de descanso es hermosa y acogedora, y la vista desde la terraza es simplemente excepcional. Sin duda volvería a alojarme aquí.

Lo único que no me gustó fue que entraron a la habitación a hacer mantención en la mañana (pasadas las 10) sin avisar dos días seguidos justo cuando quería dormir hasta tarde. No tengo problema con las reparaciones, pero habría agradecido que me informaran antes. De todas maneras, los maestros muy amables y considerados de tocar la puerta antes de entrar, trabajar rápido y lo más en silencio posible para no molestar.
