Comfortable, quiet stay in La Candelaria area

Bed was very comfortable, Shower was luxurious. Breakfast was pretty good and available till 10 :) Floorboards were very creaky and room had little to no storage space but had cable tv. Took a couple days to feel at home in the room. Loved the rooftop terrace. Staff was very nice and helpful. Hostel was near many bars, restaurants and interesting things. I just wouldnt recommend going out on a Sunday night, many things in the neighborhood are closed and we didnt feel safe. However within the Casa we felt perfectly safe.

Sympa mais bruyant

Hotel relativement bien situé mais le quartier n'est pas sur en soirée. Pas de possibilité de restauration sur place. Attention : les chambres donnent toutes sur un patio et ne sont pas insonorisées. La Qualité de votre nuit dépendra de l'heure de départ ou d'arrivée de vos voisins..

nice hostel great location

This was a great hostel experience, with the best staff possible. I had a major luggage crisis with the airline company and the staff kept calling and calling them for me. He took care of everything and I received my luggage in two days with no stress thanks to him! The rooms were clean, everybody was so nice and friendly.

Gem in Candelaria with many charming details

I stayed three nights in a room with a wonderful, comfortable bed. Kitchen area is open all day to prepare food if you like. Great breakfast with home made juice with no sugar added. After breakfast or at night enjoy the fabulous roof terrace.

Clean place, neighborhood okay

The woman at the front desk made this experience. I did not get her name, but she went out of her way to accommodate us. The breakfast was delicious and the rooms were extremely clean, albeit simple. The walls were very thin and I could hear everything people said outside our room the following morning. Also, the neighborhood was not what I expected - I was hoping for great bars and restaurants nearby, but the area was a little on the sketchy side. During the day, the neighborhood was fine and it was very close to Monserrate.
