Description
An alright hostal, 20k/night for a double w/ a shared bathroom at peak season during festival de costumbres. The owner is an okay guy, ex-Navy, and when I came there after having been crashed and stranded w/my bike at Paso Roballos he even recommended me himself to go buy a beer from the shop next door rather than from him as it's cheaper. Food at the restaurant is good but pricey.
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
We were struggling a bit to find an obviously open place being a Sunday. The double with banos was 30,000 now and very pleasant with good shower and clean. It's not amazing but had a good experience with the purebred Jose who was very polite and nothing like the 2022 review suggests. Looking at the kitchen cleanliness though I wouldn't recommend cooking here or use the restaurant.
Report Check-InCheap and nice hostal. We stayed two nights there and the owner was very kind with us. We could use the kitchen for free and he gave us some nice advices.
20.000 per night for a matrimonial, the cheapest we found in town
Report Check-InStayed there for a few nights, it was alright- just 20k for a double w/ a shared bathroom in peak season during a festival de costumbres. Cuisine is pricey but when I had lamb ribs once they were great. The owner seems ex-Navy but is a nice enough guy. Wi-Fi didn't work, but there's a label with a password and the owner said that at some point it should.
Report Check-In!!! Warning: Avoid this place!!!
This is a hostel and a restaurant. Don't sleep there and don't eat there.
His kitchen is horribly filthy but the craziest thing is that the owner attacked me, He is a violent man that need to be in jail.
I stayed there only 2 hours and run away from his place after a struggle with him. He tried to force me to get to sleep early (8 pm) since he is going to sleep too, and when I refused he violently grab me, lift me up from the table while I was eating, and tried to kick me out of his hospedaje. He stopped only when I grabbed a glass and screamed for help. Some other guest came to help me.
After much arguing, in which he claimed that using the kitchen cost money in addition to accommodation he returned my money only when I started filming him on video.
Please do yourselves a favor and do not come to this place, such people should be behind bars.
