"Really convenient location. This was our first hostel experience and it was good. Fortunately, we had a family room (4) so we had our own private bathroom. The cleanliness was good and the room was refreshed daily. Breakfast was just ok, but better than nothing for certain days we were in a rush."

Hotel Zenit Convento San Martín

8/10 Good
"Generally pretty good service, and excellent location. The hotel lobby looks great and the rooms are large and clean. Bed is a bit on the hard side, and for some reason they only give you individual little packets of tissues in the room."
