Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hostal does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Smoking is not permitted — The property is entirely non-smoking, which may be a drawback for smokers.
- Value rating is modest — The value category scores 7.7, slightly below the overall rating, suggesting some guests find the price—for the level of facilities—on the higher side for a hostal.
- Comfort rating is the lowest — Comfort scores 7.5, the lowest category, which may reflect basic bedding or interior noise in some rooms.

My room was generously sized and reasonably quiet, with a double bed and blackout curtains – I couldn't have asked for more. The location was perfect for walking around an iconic street.”
