Bien para una noche

No está mal. Los dormitorios tienen colchones en buen estado y sábanas limpias, pero le faltan cosas como repisas para poner el celular, contactos, ganchos, sillas, etc. El gran reto son los baños, están viejos y les falta igual un lugar donde poner tus cosas, tu ropa, en fin, que sea cómodo para bañarte y cambiarte. La ubicación es muy buena y el personal se esfuerza por recibirte bien. Es una buena opción por si necesitas un lugar “solo para dormir”

No tuve problemas, todo bien. Bueno, quizás falte un refrigerador en el lobby para meter las cervezas.

El mejor hostal, bueno, muy bonito y súper barato

Dude en reservar ya que había leído malas reseñas. Pero fue todo lo contrario, en realidad es muy limpio, tranquilo y cómodo. Fui a la guelaguetza y pude dejar mi carro frente a la entrada, tienen todo con cámaras y lei que se quejaban por que no hay nadie en recepción, realmente para mi no fue importante y lo sentí como un airb&b. Todo es por claves para entrar. Solo es cuestión de comunicarse días antes para que te las proporcionen y acordar tu llegada. Definitivamente lo recomiendo por el precio es excelente. Junto hay una tienda donde venden de todo y a precios bajos, así como lugares ricos para comer. La terminal de autobuses en frente y la zona muy segura a todas horas del día.
