Convenient, clean, perfectly located and great staff. Big issue: it is almost impossible to have a good night sleep due to noise from other rooms, people in the street and music from a nearby bar. Can recommend only if you are a pro heavy sleeper.

24-hour reception. Safe to stay. Friendly and welcoming staff. Room is clean. Location is perfect. But the issue is that the room is not soundproof. Locating right above the bars and restaurants implies it's super noisy esp at night, which the noise goes till 5am. Another issue is that seems the building's pipe would create noise when others are using water, as I often heard the pipe's noise at midnight.

The staff wss so friendly and helpful. There was an assortment of restaurants to chose from and you could walk to so many attractions from the hostel. You are in the very center of everything. The only complaint I had was that the delightful little street turned into a consistent roar of talking and laughing that lasted throughout the night. It was hard to sleep without ear plugs.... You will find them on the nightstand.

Early December Stay is Esmeralda
It's a very centrally located hostal, the staff is very helpful, and the front desk is manned 24 hours a day. The main downside is the bar below because it can be a tad noisy until the wee hours of the morning. The internet was at times unreliable although they gave me access to another network.

Old, run-down, central location, but noisy
Check in people were not courteous, at least the older woman was not. Then later, when I walked out of my room into a smokey hall, I said I thought it was non-smoking here? She said yes and pointed to a no-fumar sign on the wall. I said I smelled smoke, she said she didn't and again pointed to the wall. Like, "since there's a sign here, there's just no way there could be a smell of smoke." Turns out, she was a smoker, so of course she couldn't smell it. Sigh. The place is old and run-down. No security, the hotel says there's a safe in the room, but it doesn't say it's a safe you have to pay a euro each time you use it. PLUS, it's mounted to a thin wood shelf that is tacked-on with finishing nails that have all come loose, so when you pull open the safe door, the whole shelf slides out. Someone can just grab the shelf or safe and walk off with it all. Silly. And deceptive to advertise an in-room safe as if it's an amenity, then turn around and charge you for it. And it's not "safe" as a safe anyway since anyone can just carry the whole safe off with the flimsy shelf it's mounted to. Bed was firm and I liked that. Place is old and noisy, sound from TV's in other rooms, people talking, etc. Not a place I'd ever stay again. I'd opt for a tent in the woods...
