"Million-dollar view so close to La Aurora!"

9.0

The million-dollar view from the top terrace where you can sit and drink your free coffee or tea, the charming patio with the tallest avocado tree I've ever seen. The very helpful staff. Comfortable beds. Full kitchen, library. My 3rd visit and I will be back!

The hotel used to offer breakfast but doesn't now. But you can use the stove in kitchen for a dollar as I recall. Refrigerator is available. You have to walk up a few flights so be in shape!

"Bad choice"

4.0

The place is clean, they gave us towels with a small soap.

I honestly don't understand why people recommend this kind of hostel. First I got a message as soon as I booked (3 days before) saying their profit goes to a NGO, super nice, etc. Ok, the night before my arrival I got another message saying that if you check-in after 8h30pm they charge you 2 dollars. My problem with this is not the 2 dollars, but why they didn't say this in advance? They offered to cancel if needed, but I saw the msg the morning I was going, and I didnt want to go after another hostel. Well, everybody says it's close to the airport.. I paid 7 dollars to go there from the airport. It was more expensive than going to zona 4, with many famous hostels. They told me it was because it was a holiday. Ok.. maybe... some people paid 10 dollars... Ok, i got there, and the price in booking was in dollars. They used 1US = 8.5Q which was the most expensive rate of my whole trip. The place was not nice, it is basically a house, and when I got into my room the mattress was super thin (I could feel the wood under), there were no places to charge your phone, and the internet was not working, so she made her internet phone available. Afterwhile, the other girl couldnt come inside the dorm, and we found out we needed a code for the door, which was never provided, so we used a bottle of water to avoid the door of closing... Again, my question is: how is it possible this place has good reviews and a good grade? I really don't get it...
