Hostal San Fernando

My room had lots of mosquitoes and dampness. The only thing they kept asking me about was payment, although other hotels charge when you check out. I also couldn't get basic local information: when I asked about a D1 supermarket, they said they didn't know, even though one is three blocks away. They couldn't suggest places to eat either, despite a park full of restaurants just one block away. Sandwiches, arepas, and fruit were advertised in the rooms, but that service wasn't available when I asked.

The location is convenient, especially for university students who have occasional academic meetings, and the daily rate is affordable. Bathrooms are spacious, with hot water. Rooms have air conditioning for an extra charge, but they smell musty and the furniture seems somewhat neglected.

It's an old hostel, and the facilities feel neglected. There was dust in the rooms and water leaking through the ceilings and walls. They should put money into better sheets, pillows, and towels.

The neighborhood was very quiet, with supermarkets, nightclubs, and plenty of places to eat just a few blocks away. The gentleman and young woman who helped us were professional, and the place felt welcoming and very clean, with a nice smell. Our room had air conditioning, a TV in good condition, clean towels, and good WiFi. Check-in and checkout times were very flexible.
