Basic, decent, good price and near places to eat and shop
This place never disappoints. It’s a great economy place to stay. It is clean, pretty quiet and the coffee is good.
They also offer a breakfast in the morning.
Kind staff, clean room, warm shower, large restroom, light, fan, outlet, and drapes for dorm beds. Also peaceful and quiet location to study. Lots of shops nearby.

Disliked: Staff & service
Hotel front desk staff are terrible and meanful. The Venezuelan girl at front knows little or nothing about customer service.
What a terrible experience.
The address listed at hotels.com was wrong. Fortunately someone was near the "old site" and gave us directions (sort of). Since we had an unexpected prolonged walk, we were caught in a tropical rain storm, and on arrival (drenched) a 3% surcharge was added for using a credit card (not mentioned). Housing was simple, small, a bit cramped, but adequate for price. Phot0 of room did not match at all. People friendly, room cleaning during stay non-existent. All and all, ok backpacker's place
Un buen hostel, super económico para la zona en la que se encuentra. El dueño da tips sobre los lugares que puedes conocer con o sin tour. Son muy amables, la limpieza es buenísima y puedes disfrutar una tarde en la alberca :)
