El personal excelente, me encantaría poder darle mejor valoración al hostal sólo por su amabilidad. La ubicación es buena, a distancia caminable de museos y sitios de interés y con comercio y restaurantes muy cerca.

Me quedé en un apartamento privado junto al hostal, no en la edificación principal, por lo que esta valoración es respecto a ese apartamento. De entrada se notó el mal aseo: manchas en la cocina fácilmente removibles, pelos en el piso del baño, al estirar las sábanas para colocarlas encontré más pelos entre sus pliegues, bajo la cama parece que no se hubiese barrido jamás. Toda la construcción es antigua y está mal mantenida. El flapper del inodoro está gastado o mal colocado, a veces hay que jugar con la manilla del mismo bastante para que se corte el paso de agua. La cama cruje a cada movimiento, se ve que ya se desarmó una vez y fue rearmada no muy eficientemente, es cosa de tiempo para que se desarme nuevamente. La habitación tiene un ventanal sin cortinas, en la noche entra una luz de no se dónde y en el día la luz solar se filtra. La ventana de la cocina tiene una "cortina" que más bien parece una sabana vieja. Las sábanas de la cama principal son ásperas y viejas. Las conversaciones de un sector del hostal se escuchan como si fuesen dentro de la habitación, y todos los días a las 7 AM o incluso antes ya hay gente conversando ahí. La wifi es inestable en el apartamento y de baja velocidad (o tal vez no soporta muchos equipos conectados, que en un hostal es lo habitual). La instalación eléctrica es arcaica, y hasta da miedo, no parece estar preparada para el nivel de consumo del siglo 21. Lo peor: la ducha es de aquellas infames "duchas asesinas" y tiene una conexión que se ve amateur. Además está muy baja, una persona alta puede golpearla con la cabeza y alguien más bajo puede hacerlo inadvertidamente con los brazos, con el enorme riesgo que eso implica. En definitiva, fue decepcionante.
