Cons -
- I asked for sheets to be changed and was told they would be but they weren't. They were when I asked 2 days later.
- The only minor issue was the soundproofing; I could hear the water running in the neighboring bathrooms. Other than that, it was a fantastic experience!
- I cant say any thing what i pay was too much

location and great service
It’s smell of the bed and pillow
Excellent place with all the amenities and a great atmosphere. The apartment is comfortable and well-equipped, making for a very enjoyable stay. Access is easy, and one of the best Markets in the city is conveniently located just opposite. Highly recommended!
Only downside – noise from the Market.
Great location. Nice room if a bit small for the price. Basic but nice.
Very noisy our second night with workers dragging metal and large crashes somewhere down in the street until well into the am hours.
Cleanliness, location and staff
The location was very good and the bed was comfortable
Was a bit expensive
Reception was friendly and housekeeping team left us alone throughout the stay.
Only one chair, no shelves or wardrobe. Small table for making drinks. That's all. Rather bare. Also, unhappy to be told late check-out not allowed. Housekeeping team prompt to re-possess room ,at 11am sharp! Felt very rushed.
location is perfect..staff are very nice and the mini balcony infront of the mercado..?
noise from next room..you can just hear everything..EVERYTHING???
The location in the middle of town and the checkin/checkout was butter smooth!
Nothing big, but the toiletbowl seemed loose/not glued to the floor
Great location, spacious and spotless room.
We were extremely surprised and satisfied with how good the room was considering the location and price. The little balcony was awesome where you could people watch from above. Room was a great size, clean and bathroom excellent. Bed also very comfy! Across the road from a fresh food market which was really convenient. Not directly in the hostel building, but the building next door. We were also welcome to join the hostel dinners at a really good price and would have done it if we had the time!
Not the most soundproof
It was right in the middle of everything. Very close to the water and 2 beaches. Great price, extras like bottles of Water in the room, and free bag storage. Exceptional value.
Very clean and comfortable private suite. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Excellent location. I highly recommend this place.
The location was great, it was clean.
There was too much noise coming from outside.
The location
I didn't know our room was going to not have a balcony and half of the room I banged my head if I did not crouch down as the half of the roof was sloped down. Also there was a strange small window at floor level that did not close and the blinds door the only small window did not block much light out and was very frayed and old.
The location is perfect, it's bright clean ,modern the shower was amazing, the fridge in the room , tea and coffee facilities, comfortable bed Close to everything
The room was bright and impeccably clean, offering a comfortable stay. Its central location was ideal for exploring the city. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, ensuring a pleasant experience.
Nothing!
The accommodation is in a very good location, the large market hall is right next to it, the pedestrian street is about 8 minutes walk, the port is about 12 minutes walk. The train station and the bus station are 15-20 minutes walk. The room and the bathroom are perfectly equipped, comfortable bed, maybe it could have been a little more storage space, wardrobe. The towels were changed daily, the room was swept and the trash was taken out. We stayed here for 8 days, it would have been nice if they changed the bed linen once.There was also a mini balcony for the room, which was very cute. The reception is located in the next block, where the other part of the accommodation, the hostel, is located. Here you can order breakfast for 3 euros. The receptionists were nice and helpful, we could leave our luggage there before check-in and after check-out until the plane left.
The only downside to the accommodation is that the walls are very thin. You could hear your neighbor completely in our room when he was taking a shower. Also, when they flushed the toilet upstairs, it sounded like water was flowing into our room. The sound was scary at first, but we got used to it. It's actually something you have to get used to, we hiked so much during the day that we were so tired that we didn't even wake up to it from the second day.
