Pensión Residencia Caola

It’s clean and well located. There’s nobody on site, so you have to call if you need anything.

The rooms were very clean, and the price was excellent, a 10 out of 10. The place is simple and suited us well for a holiday and sightseeing. I knew I wasn’t booking the Hilton, and we didn’t pay Hilton prices. As for the location, it’s right by the Sabon roundabout, so getting in any direction is easy. I don’t get the comments claiming it isn’t clean. I guess some people eat off their floors at home, though I’d like to see that! Highly recommended.

The bathroom was tiny, though at least it was clean. The room looked clean too, but there were cobwebs, mosquitoes, and dirty walls. For one night, the price seemed reasonable. The service was disappointing: when I asked for the bill shortly afterward, the staff simply refused to give it to me.

The only real bright spot was the woman who checked us in; she was very friendly. This is a basic hostel, nothing fancy, and I wouldn’t suggest it for a medium or long stay. I was there for just two nights to sleep, but even that was uncomfortable. The neighbors were noisy, with loud TVs, slamming doors, shouting, and conversations. The bedding, dirty walls, and bathroom extractor fan all need improvement.
