Nos encantó hospedarnos en este hostel. La cocina tiene TODO lo que necesites y más. La habitación privada en la que nos hospedamos era excelente, tenia nevera, microondas y baños limpios. El chill spot ideal para jugar y conocer a otros huespedes. Realmente recomiendo!

The location is wonderful! Quiet and peaceful in a nice neighborhood, while centric and close to everything. The bed was very comfortable and had nice, soft bedsheets. The hostal is very well maintained and organized and has many open and communal spaces and is great for finding time alone as well as meeting other travelers. Ice machine, water filter, lots of cooking and eating utensils, sweet kitty 🐈‍⬛, security guard during night hours!
