This hostal, although acceptable, seems to be over-rated by many guides. My single initially was a 5-flight walkup, and the room was about the size (I'd imagine) of a jail cell. After that first night, I insisted on a larger room on a lower floor, which I was given after some negotiation (e.g., ended up paying a higher rate). The staff was pleasant and helpful, especially Alfredo. Very clean, and well-located, although I prefer the quieter, less touristy neighborhood around c/Cervantes. .
