Liked: The property is cool enough in a country is not accostumed to tourists, there is just few info about everything... so they were friendly enough to tell you where to go to eat, visit, borrow you movies to watch... and is managed by the owners which makes a difference...

Disliked: Too many mosquitoes, probably because the property its near of the river but still required to do something about it.

Liked: Lilia is extremely helpful and friendly, nice atmosphere, nice cat even!

Disliked: Bit noisy as my room had a wall that only goes halfway up (also let mosquitos in) - it's a listed building so they can't change that, but I think charging the same amount for that room is a bit much...

Liked: Just a really decent hostel with a good atmosphere and nice staff. It is well located in the centre of town. We stayed in the 18 bed dorm but you'd hardly notice others in it - heaps of space.

Disliked: Showers a bit grungy, breakfast was pretty basic. Wifi a little dodgy.

Liked: Good brekkie, good central location, great and friendly staff and very clean place. The other resdents seemed really nice too. And it's a nice place to hang out with a good, clean, well-equipped kitchen. Shame we were only there for 1 night!

Disliked: Our double room didn't have a ceiling as it was connected to the main corridor, but luckily it wasn't too noisy.

Liked: Nice and sociable with good common areas. The dorms were also very nice and clean.

Disliked: The only problem I had in the entire stay was when we asked reception to arrange a taxi for us. The driver turned up with another man in the front seat. As most travellers in South America know, that is a no-no but the receptionist in the hostel insisted it was safe. We took the taxi and all was just fine, nonetheless, a hostel owner/receptionist should know not to permit this when booking a taxi for guests.
