"A nice hostel located about 10 minutes from the historic center. The breakfast is simple, but we bought a few things and Lidia was kind enough to prepare them for us. Her friendliness and willingness to help was definitely a plus. The room was comfortable, although the bathroom was a bit small and there was no hot water. There is a nearby parking lot for $5 per night, but keep in mind that it has specific opening and closing hours. Overall, a good option for a convenient location and friendly service."
