Hostal Familiar Carmencita

Cheap, clean, and the staff are excellent. The rooms are nice too.

The owners are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and there’s parking right outside the house. The location between Transistmica and Via Espana is convenient. My simple room was clean and nicely furnished, with a shower, toilet, refrigerator, and TV. It didn’t have a small table or chair for writing, though maybe I could have asked for one. Highly recommended for the price.

The family was lovely, but the hostel left a lot to be desired for what we paid. Five days came to $300, or $60 a night, and that’s not what you’d expect from a 5-star hotel. They didn’t clean, change the towels or sheets, or take out the trash. I won’t get into more details. It’s a shame they don’t make better use of the facilities, especially given the location, because the people are so friendly. The café and Noel pastry shop on the corner are worth a visit for their exquisite products.

My wife and I felt right at home here. Nathaly, the manager, and Omar, a good friend, treated us warmly, and everything was clean, tidy, and on time. I had a cough, and they kindly gave me a home remedy that helped me a lot. The price was very affordable for visitors. Myriam and I highly recommend them. Go visit!
