Old building and room was a bit scary. They gave me the only room at 3rd level which was a bit creepy

This is a comfortable stay. It is unfortunately nearby the railway line so it can be very loud. The location is good. My breakfast stop was Santa Fe, about 100m from the guest house and I highly recommend.

It's a very large youth hostel. After checking in, I stayed in the building opposite. Then I could use the swimming pool and kitchen of the youth hostel next door. It seems that they have the same owner. The bathroom is the largest among the dozens of youth hostels I have stayed in so far. It's a very comfortable environment.

I booked a separate room with a bathroom outside. This hotel has two buildings across the street. There is a common kitchen and swimming pool across the street. The building I stayed in was relatively quiet and had free coffee.

There are two buildings facing the street in the north and south. The ones in the north are mainly bed rooms and are close to the railway tracks. They are relatively noisy, but the rooms, bathrooms and public spaces are relatively spacious and tall. Coffee is available all day long, and you can also use the kitchen of the partner hostel next door. The room lacks tables, chairs and clothes hangers. The location is good, within walking distance to city center attractions, supermarkets and a mall.
