HOSTAL LA MERCEDES STREET

5/5

We can't really find anything we didn't like about this hostel, so I'll try to be picky: one of the sockets was behind a wardrobe. That's it. That's all the bad we could find with the place. Location in Milaflores neighbourhood, just two blocks away from famous San Antonio neighbourhood. Those few extra minutes of walk reflex in the price, making it a little cheaper than the hostels in San Antonio. In general it's not safe to walk around after 23:00 and solo travellers may want to be a little more cautious. The place is very modern and sparkling clean. Our private double room had a good size double bed, fan, wardrobe and middle size TV (we were here 3 days, so not long enough to need to entertain ourselves with TV). Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the hostal and is of good speed. Breakfast was included in the price (08:00-10:00); scrambled eggs with toast, jam, marmalade, coffee and fruit drink. We didn't use the kitchen, but I believe it's available for cooking (not that you will want to miss on amazing cuisine available in restaurants and even street food vendors!). There's pool table, terrace overlooking the street and plenty of seating spaces inside. The guests who were in at the time were all pretty quiet and we were here during December festive period. I guess it depends on guests. The staff were truly exceptional, from reception through breakfast to housekeeping! We were even allowed to do our laundry (I mean, they took care of everything).
