The entire staff was friendly and helpful from the start. We exchanged our above limited but not fluent Spanish-English, they gave me best options to get to Allbrook Terminal, with even an offer to drive me to the metro. Got me the cheapest cab, and had a nice secure ride in a late model kia. All was great. Thanks

For a budget Hostal, truly excellent. Staff is great and supportive. Rooms and e suit private bathrooms super clean. Good bed. AC quiet. Kitchen is shared and I cooked and of course cleaned but they would have. Close to several restaurants and supermarkets and quick markets. Nothing beyond a 10-15 minute walk. Miguel’s grill is next door and fully air conditioned dining.
No hot water but not a show stopper.

Great low budget accommodation. Walking distance to the subway. The staff was very friendly and they went the extra mile to ensure our stay was the best it could. I wished I could speak Spanish to express my gratitude of their kindness and their service.

the staff were kind and helped us whenever we had issues.
we selected this property as it was affordable and had parking, but the parking was not gated and next to a busy road. the first night we were there we were woken up at 11pm by a group of loud girls who were first in the kitchen and then moved their discussions to their room, right next to ours. it was so loud we had to go to the front desk and file a complaint with the staff on duty to ask them to quiet down. She did, which was much appreciated!

Simple accommodations are perfect for me. Everything was clean and comfortable.
It's a bit of a walk to go to stores or restaurants. Parking is not secured, though the staff assured me it's safe and I didn't have any problems.
