No tuve problemas, todo bien. Bueno, quizás falte un refrigerador en el lobby para meter las cervezas.

El mejor hostal, bueno, muy bonito y súper barato

Dude en reservar ya que había leído malas reseñas. Pero fue todo lo contrario, en realidad es muy limpio, tranquilo y cómodo. Fui a la guelaguetza y pude dejar mi carro frente a la entrada, tienen todo con cámaras y lei que se quejaban por que no hay nadie en recepción, realmente para mi no fue importante y lo sentí como un airb&b. Todo es por claves para entrar. Solo es cuestión de comunicarse días antes para que te las proporcionen y acordar tu llegada. Definitivamente lo recomiendo por el precio es excelente. Junto hay una tienda donde venden de todo y a precios bajos, así como lugares ricos para comer. La terminal de autobuses en frente y la zona muy segura a todas horas del día.
