Alba

Disliked: Amenities
Está limpio, el personal es amable, la habitación en precio porque no te ponen agua, jabón, ni hay televisor. Lo otro, es que se escucha TODO en las anotaciones de planta baja. Y es molesto porque a medianoche hay gente caminando y nada discretos. Un estacionamiento minúsculo te hace maniobrar mucho cuando sales y solo para autos pequeños. Pasable.

Good Hostel

Only a few blocks from centro, I'm glad I stayed here. The room could be a little cold at times, but there were thick blankets so I didn't mind. There are cheaper options as far as hostels go, but I enjoyed my stay here.
