Positivo: Los chicos de servicio son muy atentos. Excelemtes ellos. Buena ubicación respecto a rutas de buses. Negativo/para que mejoren: en cocina vasos y platos plásticos, esto tiende a ser menos higienico que otros materiales como vidrio o loza. Redes de internet deficientes. Cobran adicional por algunas cosas como toallas (en otros hostales donde me cobraron más barato por noche, nunca me cobrarin por cosas así)
