Was pretty dead for the night I was there, not many people staying there. I guess at busier times it would have been better. Also the bathrooms weren't the cleanest. The sign is only noticeable once you find the actual door to the building, but the directions to get there are good.

ES UN HOSTEL UN POCO PARTICULAR, LAS PUERTAS DE LAS HABITACIONES NO SE CIERRAN CON LLLAVE NI NADA SIMILAR. EL AMBIENTE ES MAS DE UNA CASA RURAL, PERO LA VERDAD ES QUE SE ESTA AGUSTO.
