Amazing location and comfort

Amazing stay, 2 mins from los patios and Viajero, however much cheaper and more comfortable. Best of both - can socialise easily at the hostels and have the comfort of a private room with ensuite.

It is in a great location. Easy to most places, busy area and close to main places to go out in the night. Safe to walk around too. The hostel can be a little noisy and the facilities need to be cleaned more. Especially the bathroom area. The staff are helpful and friendly.
