The place is in the center of Barrio Alto, great location to go out to bars and different restaurants. Very center and close to different attractions. The night is very loud do to the amount of bars and restaurants in the area. If you looking to be on a quiet area I would recommend to select a different place. Overall, the experience was great and host was very helpful. The suggestion book was probably one of the best things about the hostel has a first time traveler in the city.
