December/2009 Someone from Granada thinks:

  • Overall rating: 9.3
  • Would you recommend it? Yes
  • Positive: La ubicación del hostal, nos movimos a todas partes andando, tanto a la zona de fiesta de Malasaña como a plaza nueva y zona de museos. Esl hostal es limpio y bonito, y tiene zona con internet por si hace falta. Es cierto que hay prostitutas por la zona...pero bueno, las hay por muchas zonas, y el ambiente pa llegar al hostal por la noche, incluso a altas horas no me pareció nada peligroso ni delicado, cada uno a lo suyo.
