Breakfast was pretty good and available till 10 :) Floorboards were very creaky and room had little to no storage space but had cable tv. Took a couple days to feel at home in the room. Loved the rooftop terrace. Staff was very nice and helpful. Hostel was near many bars, restaurants and interesting things. I just wouldnt recommend going out on a Sunday night, many things in the neighborhood are closed and we didnt feel safe. However within the Casa we felt perfectly safe. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Brian, London Feb 12, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Friendly and convenient The location of this hotel is perfect,just a few minutes from Les Aguas bus station and it's perfect for looking around La Candelaria.

Pas de possibilité de restauration sur place. Attention : les chambres donnent toutes sur un patio et ne sont pas insonorisées.

No water pressure. Water was a trickle of either scalding hot or freezing. Bed hard as a rock. Breakfast bad. ##### Lee ### 6/10 Okay #### Tara Aug 17, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Clean place, neighborhood okay The woman at the front desk made this experience. I did not get her name, but she went out of her way to accommodate us. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were extremely clean, albeit simple. The walls were very thin and I could hear everything people said outside our room the following morning. Also, the neighborhood was not what I expected - I was hoping for great bars and restaurants nearby, but the area was a little on the sketchy side. During the day, the neighborhood was fine and it was very close to Monserrate. ##### Tara ### 6/10 Okay #### JeanGuy, NB CANADA Mar 20, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Room comfort #### Noisy We stayed here on a friday and saturday nights. Impossible to sleep due to loud music until 3 in the morning and dogs barking around 6 in the morning. Internet free and easily accessible. Free coffee, excellent breakfast.
