Great higher end hostel

This was my first time staying at a Socialtel since Selina folded. The experience was exactly like Selina - other than the branding it was exactly the same. Value for the price was good. Room and bedding was comfortable. Hygiene products were provided in the bathroom. The common spaces (lounges, coworking space, rooftop) were all really nice.

The hotel is conveniently located right across from the park. It has a lovely little terrace offering a beautiful view. The breakfast is quite complete, and as always, the staff is incredibly kind. For what we were looking for, it was perfect.

Selina was an excellent place to stay! I LOVED IT! The location is great, just next to the main church and park. People in the front desk are all very kind. The room was also spacious and comfortable. I also have to mention that I loved the breakfasts there and the people serving the breakfast were also very polite. Can't wait to be back!

The Selina was in a great location. Our stay came with a welcome drink & breakfast which were very good! We decided to have dinner there too with our complementary drink. The food was very good & even reasonably priced for the quality! The view from scenic roof top restaurant topped it all off for a great experience! It is perfect for backpackers & weekend trips. Once checked out they will store your luggage & you are still able to shower & nap in the lobby accommodations. The staff was bilingual, welcoming & helpful!

Great location, limited amenities

The hotel is situated in an excellent location. The view from my bed faced the cathedral. Staff was limited in communication. No one shared with us the special activities or food options the hotel offered or what the local establishments offered. The hot water was a hit or miss. I was able to deal with the low pressure but not the cold shower. The bedroom was cold at times. Blankets and Towels were scarce. My friend slipped on the wet floor after a shower. No towel for the floor.
