Buen hostal

Buena ubicación, atención agradable del personal, antes daban yogurt en el desayuno que está incluido en el precio, en esta ocasión no hubo. En comparación con varios hostales en los que me he hospedado, este está en muy buenas condiciones, la decoración es bonita, hay jabón y shampoo gratis, cada cama dispone de conexión eléctrica y lámpara de lectura, por lo que se evita muchas molestias frecuentes al compartir habitación y dispone de casilleros con candado de combinación incluido

Mal servicio

Mal, nos cobraron la habitación en el portal, llamamos para comentar que estábamos por llegar y cuando llegamos no nos permitieron acceder a la habitación por qué uno de los huéspedes no tenía identificación oficial. Después de tanto medios de comunicación nunca se nos notificó que se necesitaba para acceder.

Spökhostel, säger vissa och jag håller med

Detta hostel är inget jag rekommenderar alls. Personalen (som var större i antal än besökare) visste inte vad service innebär och var mer intresserad av youtube än något annat. Sängarna är väldigt obekväma och bristen på krokar till handdukar inne i duschkabinen gör att man måste gå ut naken i rummet. Dock så är det inte något större problem då det sällan finns andra gäster. Ett plus ska städpersonalen ha för att komma varje dag och städa och göra iordning överallt trots bristen på gäster. Frukosten är vad man kan förvänta sig på ett hostel; rostbröd, smör, marmelad, cornflakes och mjölk. Sen vet jag inte om det var te eller ett väldigt svagt kaffe som stod på varmhållning. Området är däremot bra, men jag gissar att det finns bättre alternativ om man vill bo i Condesa

Algo muy chick a un precio increible

La ubucación es excelente porque en la zona hay cualquier cantidad de buenas opciones para comer o cenar, hay boutique de diseño y a pocos metros la estación Patriotismo del metro.
