Nice hostel bad location

The hostel itself was OK. Great breakfast options for $3USD or $4.50USD with juice and fruit. Huge, 6 options and freshly made. The location of the hostel was awful in terms of getting food at night. It is situated in a commercial area selling tiles, kitchen sinks, plumber etc so nothing open at night. We had to get a $3USD taxi to Plaza Foch when we arrived at 8pm just to eat. Not even a local shop. Second night we eat in town before returning to hostel. Considering it has nothing around the area the traffic noise was horrrndous. Our private double room was large and staff were friendly. We only stayed two nights and moved to a better located hostel with three restaurant 100 metres away. $2USD dinners.

Bom custo x benefício

O hostel fica numa região que têm pouco comércio e restaurantes. A noite fica deserto o local. Fica próximo do ponto de ônibus Alameda. Os quartos são apertados e pouco ventilados. A área comum é ampla e confortável. Os banheiros são apertados bem como o local para tomar banho. O atendimento é muito bom. O ambiente é bem animado e você sente que está num Hostel para jovens.

フレンドリーな宿

ロケーションの良いバックパッカーホステルですが、入り口の入り方がわかりにくかったです。 部屋は清潔でした。有料食事が美味しそうでそんなに高くはなかったので利用したかった

Todo normal

Pocas actividades en el hostel, aburrido, además alguna gente desubicada y sucia, pero de estos hay en todos lados, el problema es que aquí debemos dormir todos juntos. El personal atento y gentil, no obstante la falta de actividades obliga a uno a salir. Lo mejor la limpieza en general y de las camas, muy confortables.
