Hostal Hera

The staff was nice but never seemed curious to ask anything… they just watched us come and go, struggling. There is no elevator, so you have to carry your suitcases up three flights of stairs… in a hallway that smells every moment like a sewer. And the stairs after the first flight are were broken, wobbly and crooked. The temperature in the hostel was out of control. Super hot, no ventilation. The shower sprayed water that got everything wet and hot water was very inconsistent. The space in every aspect was too small… the hallway to the rooms was always congested and awkward, the bedroom was so small we had no way to access our suitcases without putting everything away to pull out what we needed, there was no shelf for toiletries, no place to put suitcases away, no way to take clothes out of our suitcases or put anywhere, the bed barely fits in the room - let alone two people. The lights were broken. The blankets were unwashed. The water from brushing our teeth got us sick for two days and there was no clean water to drink, plus the kettle for tea in the hallway was unwashed. We liked the location but were very uncomfortable anytime we were in the room… which we had to stay in as we got sick, and constantly were trying to control our body temperature from the raging heat we had no way to control. It was a very difficult stay and we cannot recommend it unless you are a solo traveller with low expectations.

Great stay, water leaks from shower but overall good stay
