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.
The location of this hotel is perfect,just a few minutes from Les Aguas bus station and it's perfect for looking around La Candelaria.
Room was great,breakfast fine too.
enjoyed the location so close to all the old town action, feels secure, friendly and welcoming.helpful reception staff Nice breakfast as well from very friendly staff
