Lugar donde se quedan muchas personas de paso, genial para conocer a otros. Quiza tienen un poco de desorden en cuanto a las camas, los huespedes tampoco ayudan, la limpieza es buena sin embargo no es increible, y en una habitacion compartida falta algo para poder secar el piso o algo asi

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The neighborhood is in the process of being revitalized. It seemed to have abandoned buildings around Ciudad Vieja. Most of the developing areas were near the Mercado Puerto which is about 10minute from Circus Hotel. The location of the hotel was within walking distance of the Plaza Independencia. Sofía at the front desk was very helpful and friendly.. I opted for the private room accomodation. It was spacious and clean. The bed was two twin beds put together . Air conditioner worked very well. 24 hour coffee and tea available. Different tours and activities available at the front desk. I enjoyed my stay at the Circus Hotel.

Bom, mas não aceitam cartões

Hotel tem recepção 24h, wifi bom, quarto simples mas o preço foi baixo, o que o hotel peca é que não aceiram cartões então ao meu ver complica a vida de alguns hóspedes. Essa informação deveria ser inclusa aqui nas descrições.

Good Hostel beyond my expectation

It's a relatively new hostel and the room condition is very good. Front desk speaks good English and was able to provide helpful information for our questions. They also have a lot of tour information and you can rent a bike from them. Highly recommend it!
