Liked: The front desk was very friendly and spoke English to us as our spanish is not very good. The room was lovely and comfortable and the hostel is conveniently located between bus and Main part of town.

Disliked: The lack of a normal common room meant it was difficult to meet others at the hostel. There was also no general computer to use Internet.
