Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Street noise at night — The hostal sits on a busy street in the centre, and some guests note that it can be noisy at night, especially if your room faces the street. Earplugs are recommended by some.
  • Can be hard to find — The entrance is not immediately obvious, and some guests mention it can be a bit tricky to locate at first.
  • No breakfast or food service — Food is not provided, so you'll need to head out for meals. However, many restaurants are nearby.
  • Small scale, limited facilities — With only 12 rooms, the hostal is intimate but lacks extras like a restaurant, bar, or fitness centre. Facilities rating is 7.3 out of 10.

“Very friendly staff. Even though they spoke no English we were able to communicate well. The location is excellent, but mind it is next to a busy street in the centre, so if you need good sleep take earplugs along.”
