The plus side - centrally located, cheap, pleasant helpful receptionist (when he's there - saw him three times in 15 days!). 

The down side - The rooms are really small - the local feline population swagger about with no fear of being swung - & your room will not be serviced unless you're out before 1100. The shower is misnamed - it should be called a dribble. It takes a good five minutes (literally, and I mean that) for the said dribble to become luke warm (if you're lucky!) and that's as hot as it gets. There is little or no ventilation in the tiny bathroom, which, when you're sharing a room, leads to certain interesting olefactory experiences! The towels are threadbare and particularly abrasive whilst some have rather disturbing deep stains. This last point is indicative of the general ambiance of the hostal, as reasonable towelling is not exactly pricey. 

The same might well be said for the bed linen and the beds appear to have seen better days.

Even though the main criteria for booking this hostal is the price and the location, and one should not harbour unrealistic expectations, it seems every expense has been spared to make your experience as basic as possible!

Cheap (yes) & cheerful (kind of) 

Raul was very friendly, polite and helpful. The hostel is very centrally located but that's it. The room was a bit small and dusty, no air con or even a fan and our window was to a small and dirty atrium. 

Friendly receptionist, conveniently located

We stayed here just for a night, luckily.
Firstly we had to wait outside because there was nobody at the reception to let us in, we were already looking for somewhere else to go to as it was pretty cold outside by the time somebody finally arrived. 
We got excited when we walked in because the reception area looked quiet nice, but when we got into our room it all changed.
The bathroom was tiny, the tv didn't work, there was no plugs near by to charge our phones, the walls are paper thin you can hear every move around you, and the worst bit was the bed, never have I ever had a worst night sleep! The bed sheets sounded like plastic and the mattress was awful, would not recommend this I'm afraid.

Would not recommend

I stopped in for one night on business and paid around 25 Euro, which was a bargain. I had a room with a private bathroom. My only complaint was the shower which had a bit too much mold. I would stay here again if I had to because the price was right, but the owner needs to do something about the shower.

Inexpensive but a bit dirty

This hostal was clean, comfortable, and a good value for the $. The care package with soap and shower gel was a nice touch. Parking was tricky- the free spots were 6-8 blocks away beyond 9am. We had the shared bathroom option- not a problem except in the morning. The toilet and shower are in the same small room, so when one is occupied, both are. Overall would stay there again.
