The address of this property is 255, not 251. Room soundproofing is not good. Otherwise everything should be alright

El lugar es muy grande, tiene muchas habitaciones, las personas en recepción sumamente agradables y amables. La estancia incluía desayuno (tostadas con mermelada y/o dulce de leche) y café con leche. Las habitaciones necesitan mantenimiento ya que los techos y paredes están muy descuidados.

Un hostel avec de beaux espaces communs ! Cependant, on ne vous écoute pas. On avait réservé une chambre pour 3 personnes et on nous a mis dans un dortoir de 4 car apparemment la chambre n’était pas dispo. On nous a assuré qu’on ne serait que deux dans la chambre mais chaque soir ils essayaient de mettre des personnes dans notre chambre ! On a également fait une lessive en demandant expressément de ne pas sécher le linge à la machine. Ils ne l’ont pas fait. Bref, un hostel qui pourrait être super mais gâché par la non écoute du personnel.

O staff é bem atencioso, com um bom café da manhã. Fomos alocados num espaço com três camas, que fica acima dos outros espaços. Chegamos por volta de 22h30 mas a cama ainda não tinha sido arrumada para nos recebermos. E nós mesmos arrumamos a cama e não tem janela. Os espaços de uso comum são muito bons e amplos, a música ambiente deixa mais agradável. A cozinha, no entanto, não tem tantas panelas assim e, as que existem, estão muito velhas. Não há marcação de nome nas comidas deixadas na geladeira, o que pode ser um problema.

It’s not bad as a budget hostel, I never did fins the bathrooms, and the breakfast isn’t. You can pay for the upgraded breakfast but I’d suggest making your own or just going out. All in all it’s ok for the price you pay.

Feo, sucio y alejado. Arañas en las habitaciones, no hay cubiertos en la cocina, sabanas viejas y con olor a humedad. Ducha incomoda, no tenia agua caliente y salía poco. Incluía desayuno el cual no pude usar porque no lo pusieron a tiempo.

Good hostel. Breakfast is decent. Liked the room and surroundings. Surprisingly very quite though, like people don't mingle. Wonder if it's because the location is longer walk from downtown area and it wasn't at full occupancy.
