Most of the staff was really attentive, and the private room really gave us a ton of value for the cost (approx $30/night)! they have free bike rentals, which is cool. Hopefully they’ll add some more beer options to the bar (only had Corona or Victoria, but Bohemia was really the best brand I tasted in Mexico!)
you should be careful not to wander too far north of the hostal into the residential areas (it’s very close to well-lit roads and a police station, as well as the more secure and tourist-friendly parts of the city, so take advantage there and don’t wander through the neighborhoods late at night).
Overall though, it was a really great experience, and we’re gonna miss Stephanie and Roy, both great staff members!
