The Staff attention was good. The room was clean and they clean it and change the towels daily. It was noisy, you can hear voices, doors open/close and stepping. Smoke odor in the hall and sometimes come in the room.
The location was excellent!
Personnel super friendly and helpful. Located 3 minutes walking to El Sol metro. All principal attractions are at walking distance. The only issue are thin walls are thin . You can hear people coming to the lobby
Very well located, clean, easy to check in and out. Stay twice in same place. Rooms are small, family trip and pick a 3 beds room with private bathroom, it was like hotel with a price of a hostal.
Very well located with a lot of things to do. Rooms were a bid small for a family of 3 but having the private room with bathroom in a hostal was a plus. Close to metro and walkable areas. AC and tv in the room.
I was presently supprised how clean this place was. Great location, it better priced than any other hostel. We had a private bathroom which seemed new and modern. Great shower and Ac kept us cool at night.
