Pros: Perfect location, good transit connections, clean, and proper internet.
Cons: no wash/dryer, kitchen basically is a microwave and a toaster.
Building is old, so bit noisy
Perfect location! Close to the beaches and main plaza. Bathrooms were okay a little dirty did not have the environment to make friends in the hostel
The room was big enough but wasn't completely clean, girl at checkin was nice.
Critique: Bed bugs: i had itchy bites all over me after just one night. Was advised to change the bed for the second night, got more there too. Not a nice-and-cozy place, as are some of the other "urban house" hostels. Somehow half-equipped kitchen. There are cups, plates, fridge, micro, a kettle and a toaster. But no pans, no pots, no cooking plates, no oven. Cooking pasta gets very creative.
On the positive side: friendly and nice staff with good English skills. Excellent location. Just 4 beds in a room. No two-level beds. Great bathroom/shower facilities. Very low price compared to other places
Overall: An ok option for a low budget.
Fantastic location. Poor cleanliness. Freindly staff. Overall an OK stay.
I stayed for 11 nights in February 2015 and I'm satisfied with all facilities, the staff and the location. A cheap and comfortable place where you meet a lot of interesting people.
Central, nice place, close to everything :) nice people in the reception. Close to beach. Something I did not like was the showers. But it was the only thing.
I've been t urban house for a few days now, and i've really enjoyed my stay. The staff is all very helpful and very friendly, it´s in a great location, gives a good breakfast for a hostel, and has a very welcoming, fun feel. The main area is very clean and very nice, and the rooms and showers are good for a backpacker´s hostel. I can see that they are doing some remodeling in the main area, all the rooms, and the bathrooms and making lots of improvements. I´m sure it´s crazy in the summer, but it seems like they´re turning a new leaf. Will definitely come back!
