84%San Martin Hostal

Great hostel... the location is awesome (really close to shopping, restaurants, and the metro), and I ended up with 3 beds even though I only booked 2, so we had plenty of space! The walls are really thin, so be careful with that. There are hookers outside, but they never really bothered us, so... more Great hostel... the location is awesome (really close to shopping, restaurants, and the metro), and I ended up with 3 beds even though I only booked 2, so we had plenty of space!

The hostel has wifi, but it took us a little while to connect. Overall, I highly recommend this hostel!close

The hostel was really clean and location perfect; it was nice to have the hower in the room. The bed was little but we slept very good! I strongly recomend it to you.

It was a nice place to stay for the weekend. Comfortable and clean. I would consider staying there again. The walls are sort of thin, but it was in a great location, so the good stuff evened out the bad.

I really liked this place. It was very central, cheap, very clean, with helpful staff. A word to the wise, a little Spanish goes a long way to making your stay better!

Excellent hostel! It is in the middle of town with easy access to everywhere, and yet is very quiet at night. And although it is on the edges of the red light district, it still feels safe and is hassle free. Staff were very friendly too.

Great Hostel! Stayed there with a friend. Maybe more a hotel than a hostal. Located in the city center, walking distance to many great locations and bars, resaurants and clubs. Rooms are nice and very clean. Staff is very friendly. Would defenately stay there again.

I think the shared bathroom ceiling needs uplifting. The table in the room moved a little so it needs stabilizing. The staff were very polite. I alreasy speak Spanish so language wasn't a problem. I enjoyed a quiet night.

The man who works there is a wonderful and helpful person. The location is great: close to a subway station and in the downtown shopping area. Only concern is that some side streets have prostitutes working them. We never felt unsafe, but we thought we should mention it. Has GREAT character, though perhaps not what some young college students are looking for if they want to have common space to stay up late, be loud, and meet people at the hostel. Highly recommend!close

A really nice, cosy and absolute clean hostel (more like a budget-hotel actually) with friendly stuff, who try the best to communicate in spanglish ;) You are close to Metro-station, Gran Via, main shopping street, supermarkets etc. It is not a party-hostel, but you are close to all kind of bars...

Great hostel. Really nice staff, shower and sink in the room, walking distance to everywhere. The only problem is that it id boiling hot in the summer. They give you a big fan but it's not enough. If you are not going during the summer, I would say stay here for sure. Great for couples.

Hostel atleast on our end was actually very quiet. The staff there was very VERY nice and though they didnt speak much English they were happy to provide directions to good locations in the city. It is in the Red Light District and there are some women of the night (especially on weekends)...
