Pleasant staff and very clean rooms. In a not so nice part of town, but right in the middle of everything.

If you're coming by taxi, check that the driver knows that you want the Casa Platypus, rather than the Platypus hostel. The latter is just round the corner but we had some confusion on arrival - though it was easily solved. We liked the Casa Platypus.

Some issues we had included the traffic noise, smoking outside... More
