A fantastic place to stay on a budget if you want to be in the center and have the world at your feet. This is a place of conviviality and sharing. If you want to meet people and get to know people from around the world it is excellent. I am a people lover- 52 and had a great four nights there. Sure, you have to be willing to experience noise from others- cause you share the room, bathroom etc.. but the owners make you feel at home. You are free to come and go as you wish. A nice hostel that even accepts “older travellers” you can not beat the price and location. The owners are amazing-down to earth , friendly and helpful and watch the house carefully so you have no worries about your personal belongings. I would definitely recommend it but you need an open mind. If you want air conditioning and breakfast in bed you must choose another hotel. But life is so short to stay all alone in a cold room. Go for it. It was fun!
