This is the second time I have stayed at this hostel and on this trip I stayed in the dorm room. Everything was clean and organized. The lockers are made of cheap thin wood and do not provide peace of mind security, even with a lock. The bathrooms in the dorms are in-suite, which I hated because it provides little privacy for anyone. I recommend staying in a private room over the dorms.

It's a good place to stay. You have to pay for the towels and internet. Rooms have their own bathroom and are clean. The service is ok but don't ask to much. For everything they have a form. The rooms near the streets are maybe a little noisy.

Just a few blocks from the central plaza the location of this hostel in good. It's housed in an orignial colonial building with all rooms upstairs surrounding a central courtyard.

The dorm was not the best I've seen for a number of reasons. It felt a bit too crowded at times with 20 beds in total (if I counted right). Worse was that those 20 beds shared just 2 toilets (no locks on the doors) and 3 showers in a bathroom that was within the dorm. The toilets were not kept particularly clean - the bins full of toilet paper overflowing. There was also a shortage of plug sockets (only 2 that I saw). There were wooden lockers (locks provided) big enough for a small backpack.

Breakfast was included in the price (150 pesos) but (as is normally the case in hostels) was not great - sugary cereal/juice, coffee, white bread and jam. There was wi fi but those without laptops had to pay to use the hostel's computers.

The staff were friendly and helpful with local information. As well as the cafe downstairs where breakfast was served there was a seating area upstairs with sofas and tv plus a water despenser.

Whilst the dorm wasn't that nice I would recommend this hostel for the social atmosphere and central location.
