Buena ubicación, reformado

Hostal reformado cómodo, limpio y en buena ubicación para poder ir andando a la playa, restaurantes... Eso sí, no nos olvidemos de que es un hostal y además antiguo: paredes de "papel" y puertas muy antiguas que hacen que si a los de la habitación de al lado les da por ponerse a hablar de madrugada puedas seguir su conversación sin problemas... Y ya lo de dormir para otro día. Hay que tener suerte con los vecinos.

Can’t fault it

Can’t fault this place. Stayed here before. We did 11 days to use it as a base for going to different places. Friendly, and we managed with our little bit of Spanish and their little bit of English. Rooms large enough and walk in shower a bonus. Cleaned every day. Will be coming back.

J'ai apprécié la proximité du centre ville. Hôtel propre. Impossible se garer à proximité, nous avons eu une chambre donc la fenêtre donnait sur une petite cour intérieure. Pas moyen de voir un bout de ciel, donc très désagréable. Le site montre de belles photos avec balcon mais ne parle pas de chambres intérieure. Le prix ne justifiait pas la chambre que nous avons eu.

Das Hostal liegt zentral. Gleich daneben ist ein Parkhaus. Zum Strand sind es 10 Minuten zu Fuß und zur Altstadt 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Die Zimmer sind schlicht aber sauber. Das Bad ist neu. In der gehobenen Kategorie gibt es einen Balkon zur Straße hin. Es ist nachts ruhig und die Klimaanlage funktioniert gut. Die Zimmer sind jedoch klein, das Doppelbett ist 135 cm x 190 cm. Das Preis - Leistungsverhältnis stimmt.

This property is located in a good area, walking distance to beach and town. There are a local food market right in front of property with a supermarket next door for your needs. It is a hostel but with all you need for your stay. Rooms are clean with private bathrooms and air con, rooms have been refurbished recently. No parking on site but free parking in city if you manage to find one. Staff are helpful although they can forget to get back to guests. Rooms are very close to one another so can be very noisy. To have a towel hanger in bathroom would be great instead of a chair. Overall a good place to stay and I would recommend
