Great location, very clean, cordial staff. The room was lacking especially the very small bathroom and shower could not bend over to wash my lower body. Bathroom sink tiny and no mats to place outside of shower to prevent water on floor.

One of the staff was very rude because we were claiming the room that we pay in Expedia. At night there a lot of noise from the street

SHELBY

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Check in was easy and we could store our luggage. We did have to buzz into the main building every time which was odd, but there was always someone to let us in. The room was small, but for a Hostal it was enough (considering we had our own bathroom in the room). It could be cleaner—the ceiling was peeling above our shower, the shower head was on the floor of the tub when we arrived, and the comforter and blankets did not seem to be as clean as the sheets. Overall, I would probably book again.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Excellent staff was very friendly and helpful. Great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Very clean and plenty of electrical outlets. Extra blankets were very helpful. It is right next to square where big easter parade ended, but we were shielded from outdoor noises. Location is incredible! We loved that. There were two drawbacks. The first was that we heard people walking on stairs quite frequently in middle of night. The second was the awkward bathroom. Toilet sits in tight area and you have to sit sideways. The sink has a shelf mounted right above it that prevents you from being able to easily wash your face or spit out toothpaste. And the shower is in a tight space with the hot/cold handle placed where it is very easy to bump and turn off, make it all cold, or make it all hot. All in all, the apartment is fine, but unless the bathroom was remodeled, we would opt to try a different hotel.
