pleasant host good beds fine bathroom public parking steep staircase frugal breakfast

Cristian was a very pleasant host (I found him very helpful). He gave good advice about where to eat. He also knew what to do in the city. The room had good beds and a fine bathroom. Breakfast was personal and what you need before a day out.

The parking advertised was public. It was very full and had no reserved places for the hostal. The staircase was very steep to reach the first floor. Then you could take the elevator.

Fantastic City Center Boutique Stay

central location quirky style really good ability

I enjoyed the central location. It was near the mushroom road and the rainbow walkway. The decor had a fun, quirky style with lots of color.. it was like home. Cristian showed an really good ability to converse with guests, which I found really special. I appreciated this a lot.

The breakfast was not a buffet, it was served to you. The places are limited.
