Es un hostal cómodo en cada habitación hay 2 o 3 camas las cuales son bastante cómodas. El personal de la mesa de servicio están 24 horas. Son muy amables y te resuelven bastante rápido. Tienen 2 tipos de desayuno uno americano y otro colombiano ambos ricos por 5 dólares. Mi única crítica es q es un poco ruidoso pero si no te molesta es excelente en su ubicación y tienes muchos lugares para comer súper cerca. Lo recomiendo

Amazing location and comfort

Amazing stay, 2 mins from los patios and Viajero, however much cheaper and more comfortable. Best of both - can socialise easily at the hostels and have the comfort of a private room with ensuite.

Incómodo cuando se realizó la reserva se habían solicitado dos camas queens y cuando llegó al destino el cuarto era pequeño con una cama full y una twins. Estoy indisgustada por que colocan fotos engañosas y mala publicidad para que uno caiga. No den lo que demuestran. No estoy satisfecha.
