The hostel is in a grand old house which is beautiful but has been furnished sparsely and unsympathetically.
It was especially poor for 'sleep quality'. It's situated on a narrow road which is incredibly busy with lots of traffic noise at all hours of the day and night. Double-glazed windows would make a huge difference. The doors to the rooms are mainly made of lovely stained glass which is very pretty but totally useless at keeping the room dark. They have not bothered to put curtains on the doors for this purpose. The bunk bed in the room wobbled so much you wouldn't want to sleep on the top bunk.
The shared bathroom was old fashioned (in a bad way) and was not kept as clean as it should be.
Breakfast was the meanest I have seen in four months of travelling south America: cornflakes, cheap dry buns with jam and some weak coffee. There was a sign up indicating you should wash up your own dishes after breakfast which you can understand in a big hostel, but not in a four-room place like this when there's someone sitting at the front desk playing on Facebook.
We also stayed at La Casa De Don Jaime 2 which was much cooler and more hostel-like (if you're into that sort of thing) and generally much more useful as a place to stay.
On the positive side, the staff were very friendly and helpful, the mattress was good and it was cheap enough.
