It is in a great location. Easy to most places, busy area and close to main places to go out in the night. Safe to walk around too.
The hostel can be a little noisy and the facilities need to be cleaned more. Especially the bathroom area.
The staff are helpful and friendly.

Amazing location and comfort
Amazing stay, 2 mins from los patios and Viajero, however much cheaper and more comfortable. Best of both - can socialise easily at the hostels and have the comfort of a private room with ensuite.

Okay for a hostel. One thing I didn’t like is the noise in the hallway. A lot of people were screaming/talking loudly at 6 am. Also the bed comforter is non existent it’s just a very thin sheet. Staff was really nice tho. It’s a typical hostel.
