Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are on the small side — Several guests mention that the rooms are compact, especially in the standard categories. If you need lots of space, this may be a factor.
- Basic amenities in some rooms — While rooms are clean and functional, some guests describe them as plain. Not all rooms have a balcony or extras like a Nespresso machine.
- No pets allowed — The hostal does not accept pets, so you’ll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
- Limited on-site dining — There is a restaurant, but no bar or room service is mentioned, so options for late-night snacks or drinks are limited.
