Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The hostal is getting worse, it became smaller place and facility.
In 2017 it was my number one hostal to stay.
First time hostel user found my stay good. Need your own pad locks to store small luggage bags under bed. The bedding was very clean and fresh. Good atmosphere all round
