“Boys on motorcycle tour, going cheap, it’s absolutely fine, probably would pay more with my wife.”
For what we paid it was fine, my only real moan would be the photos gave me the impression accommodation was in the castle, probably didn’t look to hard

“Nice stay”
I like it is cheap and the staff friendly. The location has a very nice view and it's right across the main plaza. The building itself is an old one but that doesn't take anything from it. You need to like stairs as there is no elevator. They were also very kind in allowing us to use their laundry room to iron our clothes before the wedding, we really appreciated it.

“Perfect overnight stop”
There are 2 flights of stairs to climb to reception. Another flight of stairs to the rooms. The air conditioning was very good as was the bathroom. This is a hostal and so you need to have your own toiletries. The towels are provided are very good. No breakfast but there is an excellent cafe next door for breakfast. Coffee also very good. The location was right in the centre of all the activities. Free parking is on the local streets
